  Korean era name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Korean era names were used during the period of Silla, Goguryeo, Balhae, Taebong, Goryeo, Joseon, and the Korean Empire.
In 650, Silla stopped using her own era name and adopted that of Tang Dynasty.
All these era names were used during the reign of King Goongye, who ruled Taebong from 901 to 918.

 Korean as standart language
Korean system of the “levels of speech”, albeit closely paralleled by the Japanese system of honorific expressions, is perhaps unique in that it utilizes both grammatical markers of several kinds (case markers, honorific suffixes, special verbal particles) and special words and expressions.
The foreign inspirers of the Korean linguistic radicals, the resident Christian missionaries, first felt the need for clarification of the rules of “ŏnmun”, for they persistently targeted the non-elite groups devoid of serious classic Chinese competence, and wanted to have better systemized vernacular for Korean translation of their preaching and, ultimately, the Bible.
Thus, “Korean language globalisation” cited by Korean governmental institutions as the main reason for lavishly subsidising foreign (first and foremost, American) Korean-teaching institutions, in reality is often limited to the preservation of Korean Diaspora’s ethnic legacy against the assimilation trends, and does not influence non-Korean local society too strong.

Showa is the longest era as of 2003.
Historically however, prior to the Meiji Restoration, era names were changed on many different occasions such as celebration, major political incidents, natural disasters, and so on, but the emperors posthumous name never took the name of an era.
Incidently, on modern official papers, those who were born prior to the Meiji era did not write the era name in which they born, but wrote Edo period (though now no one born over 130 years ago in that time period is still alive now).

His birth name was "Ako Kuso," which means "my child...shit." Amazing that a man with this kind of name grew up to be successful in life.
So, as more than one old guy has told me, unsavoury names were given to children, and their names were not written on Family Registers for the first few years, until it was agreed that the "danger" had passed.
The exact count is hard to determine, partly because of lack of complete data but also because of the problem of distinguishing distinct names from typographical-error variants, and the definitional question of whether genuine variant spellings of the "same" name should count as different or not.

 Korean War Educator: KWVA - Election 2004
What is unethical, however, is the fact that Edwards changes the names of the candidates on his endorsement slate, depending on to which area of the country he mails his solicitation letter.
By removing the names of his original endorsees and substituting them with the names of opposition candidates, Edwards has shown that he is even willing to sell out his own teammates in order to pick up where Harley Coon leaves off after Coon’s illegal tenure as third-term president has ended.
The Korean War Educator Foundation encourages the voting members of the KWVA to support the anti-Coonite candidates who are taking a stand for what is right for the future of the Korean War Veterans Association.
