Korean Domestic Releases

Korean characters have no capitalization. For releases originating in Korea, Hangul characters should be used the way they are in the original titles.

Even though the Korean script has no capitalization, it is very common for Korean titles to contain words in other scripts. In these cases, although sometimes capitalization seem to be chosen for aesthetic reasons, it is recommendable to follow the Capitalization Standard of the language in which it is written unless the editor have proof of the Artist Intent. Punctuation though is a more delicate subject and should be placed according to the album art or other available sources, such as official discography or record label pages, if they are consistent; not normalized according to English or other capitalization standards.

Transliteration into Latin Script

If an official transliteration is available (endorsed by the artist or their record label), it should be used.

The capitalization style used on transliterated (romanized) Korean releases is designed to resemble the title-casing style used for English releases. Any words written using Latin characters in the original title should maintain the same capitalization as originally used.

In this matter, Wikipedia's Revised Romanization of Korean should be helpful.
