Merger

I suggest a merger of this article with Kumgangsan Tourist Region for the following reasons:

  • The two are completely interdependent, and
  • the Tourist Region article merely describes the economic (and political) use of the area around the mountain.

Agreed. --Menchi 3 July 2005 10:14 (UTC)

More information that could be added…

This mountain has no co-ordinates. Also, somebody could write a short paragraph in the origin of the name Diamond Mountain, or the role of the mountain in literature/poetry in East Asia, or some of the legends that involve Kumgangsan… Kokiri 30 June 2005 16:08 (UTC)

金 Kŭm or Kim

Isn't 金 pronounced Kim? Is Kŭm another acceptable pronunciation as well? --Menchi 3 July 2005 07:44 (UTC)

Yes. The gim (김) pronunciation is unique to the Korean surname; in every other context I'm aware of, the character is pronounced geum (금). See Wiktionary entry. -- Visviva 3 July 2005 11:34 (UTC)
