As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, South Korea is a republic and does not have a king. Historically, Korea had a monarchy, with the last ruling dynasty being the Joseon Dynasty, which ended in the early 20th century. North Korea is led by a supreme leader, currently Kim Jong-un, who holds significant power but is not referred to as a king.
The country of South Korea does not have a King or a Queen. The country of South Korea has a President. The current President as of 2014 is Park Geun-hye.
Last king of Korea is Sunjong(1874~1926).SUNJONG is last monarch of Korea
1926 AD. (Sunjong was last king of Korea )
The letter that was also the name of the king who ruled Goryeo is "W." King Wang Geon, also known as King Taejo of Goryeo, founded the Goryeo Dynasty in 918 AD. The dynasty lasted until 1392, and its name is the root of the modern name "Korea."
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there is no current king of Korea. The Korean monarchy was abolished in 1910 when Korea was annexed by Japan. Today, South Korea is a democratic republic, while North Korea is a single-party state led by Kim Jong-un, who holds the title of Supreme Leader. The last king of Korea was King Gojong, who reigned until his death in 1919.
Both North and South Korea have Presidents, but the leadership in North Korea is dynastic.
A Sucky Place to Live OR Die. Actually, South and North share the name Korea. Old Korea = Koryu = high and bright. Japan called Korea by it's latest kingdom, Chosun, "Land of the Morning Calm"

It is north of South Korea.
Korea DPR is Democratic People's Republic of Korea. That's long official name for North Korea. South Korea's official name is Republic of Korea. So, Korea DPR = Democratic People's Republic of Korea = North Korea Korea Republic = Republic of Korea = South Korea Everyone confuse this..
It's the north portion of Korea. Korea was the western name for Chosun which was both south and north.
The official name is The Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
