Alternate titles : Please add Korean letters Hangeul.

Hello Whenever I use IMDB, It’s little inconvenient that IMDB does not support Korean letter system. Is there any plan to add Korean letters? I truly hope that I can use Korean letters on IMDB. Thanks.

Jaehun: Yes, IMDb does plan to eventually make Korean letters (hangul) available for use, but it may be years before they are available. In 1997, IMDb stated, "In the future there will be a new huge standardized 16 bit character set called Unicode. ... We will use it as it becomes widely available and supported by the industry." Certain additional character sets such as Cyrillic, Chinese, and Japanese have been implemented on IMDb for certain purposes over the years since then, but not yet Korean.

Hi, currently no way to add titles written in South Korean writing script called Hangul and Chosŏn'gŭl for North Korea but my interest is mainly for adding the title format for South Korean tv dramas and films using Hangul characters. Usually when I try to add the original South Korean title not in Latin/romanized characters it says "invalid character sequence". I do see it was added for some shows and movies in the Alternative Titles section but not sure how. I've already reached out to IMDb support and was referred to posting my suggestion on this community board. Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled Interest in adding/approving South Korean "Hangul" character to Alternative Titles section

Girlygirl: There was a similar request a few days back. I had been under the impression that there were no films with Alternate Titles in hangul because IMDb had not implemented that yet. I have seen Alternate Titles in Chinese, Japanese, and Russian titles but not in Korean hangul. I had assumed that if IMDb didn't have the hangul title shown for Gisaengchung (2019) (Parasite), the most internationally famous Korean film, they wouldn't have it for any films. Can you point out any films that do have Alternate Titles shown in hangul?

So these South Korean titles all have a Hangul title listed in the section labeled “Also Known As (AKA)” or “Alternative Titles”. Labled as South Korean (IMDb display) or South Korean (alternative title) for a few. If I try to add Hangul name to a Korean title today it would say “characters not recognized). -Squid Game (오징어 게임) tt10919420 -Pachinko (파친코) tt8888462 -Crash Landing on You (사랑의 불시착) tt10850932 -Move to Heaven (무브 투 헤븐: 나는 유품정리사입니다) tt11052470 -Taxi Driver (모범택시) tt13759970 -Hospital Playlist (슬기로운 의사생활) tt11769304 -Prison Playbook (슬기로운 감빵생활) tt7622902 -Goblin (도깨비) tt5994364 -Extraordinary Attorney Woo (이상한 변호사 우영우) tt20869502 -Vincenzo (빈센조) tt13433812 -It's Okay to Not Be Okay (사이코지만 괜찮아) tt12451520 -Mr. Sunshine (미스터 션샤인) tt7094780 -Flower of Evil (악의 꽃) tt11691684 -Alchemy of Souls (환혼) tt20859920 -Reply 1988 (응답하라 1988) tt5182866 -My Mister (나의 아저씨) tt7923710 I am North American based so I don’t know if other regions that are able to access IMDb are able to add Hangul titles or what.
