This country name is based on the local name of the country. In the word list, two names were given with the same definition "Korea". It is possible to find out which is north and south, based on their original etymology:
The Korean language has two different names for the southern and the northern part. In North Korea, it is called Chosŏn, which refers to an ancient kingdom Go-Joseon. See Klingon spelling choSan. South Korea is called Hanguk (roughly translated as "Han-Empire"). Klingon spelling Hanghuq. (source: Names of Korea on Wikipedia)
As the definition was given for "Korea" only, it is possible that in the future, the parts are re-united into one country, which explains why Klingons use both terms:
Both terms are used (Klingons are very confused by this) (qep'a' 2021)
