  Revised romanization of Korean - Galbijim
The Revised Romanization is not expected to be adopted as the official romanization of Korean family names.
North Korea continues to use a version of the McCune-Reischauer system of Romanization, which was in official use in South Korea from 1984 to 2002.
Indeed, a frequent complaint of many foreign residents and visitors to South Korea is that the revised Romanization system hinders their ability to even come close to an accurate and comprehensible rendering of Korean pronunciation.

If the Romanization attempts to transliterate the original script, the guiding principle is a one-to-one mapping of characters in the source language into the target script, with less emphasis on how the result sounds when pronounced according to the reader's language.
Such romanizations follow the principle of phonological transcription and attempt to render the significant sounds (phonemes) of the original as faithfully as possible in the target language.

The new system is similar to the system used before 1984, except that the old system did not faithfully represent sound changes in consonants, a prominent feature of Korean pronunciation.
Finally, with the McCune-Reischauer Romanization system having been a consistently and widely used standard in Korean studies for many decades, there is little chance that large numbers of Korean Studies Specialists will change to another system.
It is also worth noting that South Korea is not the sole authority on matters of rendering Korean words in Roman script: North Korea continues to use McCune-Reischauer, and this is also true of organizations outside of South Korea, including many mapmakers and Other related groups.
