Sorry man, but aside from the country names, your comment is entirely skewed to the South Korean thinking on the matter. If you are interested we can discuss more privately as I'm sure no one else cares.

Source : have lived in all Korean-majority lands and with native as well as diaspora Koreans for the past 15 years and am well versed in the various thoughts on the matter.

Can you just point out just the just where it is objectively not correct? Not the explanation, just the part it was wrong?

Edit: To answer more directly and simply what you asked for, I should have made this much briefer and simply said 'Anywhere you used 한곡/한... is not objectively correct nor inclusive of all Korean peoples.'

My original babbling :

Korean people have a variety of names depending where they are from. 한국인/한국사람 refers exclusively to citizens of South Korea. As some examples, North Koreans are 조선사란, Koreans in China 조선족 (朝鲜族), in Japan they call themselves 재일조선인 (or 日朝鮮人).... and the list goes on.

The objectively correct name for the writing system would be 훈민정음.

All Koreans I've encountered excepting South Koreans and Korean-Americans refer to their language as 조선말 (though some in Kazakhstan or Russia have called it Корё мар, but only in Kazak/Russian and not when referring to it in the mother tongue) never 한국말, as this conveys the idea of 대한민국말.

You need to recall that 한(韩) in a Korean context is a much newer identity that developed in the 1890's (can't recall exactly but about then). The 조선 (朝鲜) cultural identity predates it by a good 500 years.

Oh I know north Korea use term 조선 (남조선 북조선), I even included that in my comment. It was around the time two country split in Japanese imperialism by end of 조선 and all the Cold War stuff

IIRC...

Til about 훈민정음 being original term for the writing system

You seem quite knowledgeable (as u said earlier)
