Editing McCune–Reischauer (section)

== Background ==
In the 1930s, McCune and Reischauer developed the system together in consultation with Korean linguists [[Choe Hyeon-bae]], {{Ill|Jeong In-seop|ko|정인섭}}, and {{Ill|Kim Seon-gi (linguist)|lt=Kim Seon-gi|ko|김선기 (언어철학자)}}.{{sfn|McCune|Reischauer|1939|p=1}}

In 1980, Reischauer wrote in his letter that the system was devised at his suggestion because he "found absolutely no uniform system of any sort, and [he] needed something for the Korean names that appeared in [his] studies on the travels of the monk [[Ennin]]". He also wrote that he and McCune designed their system "with only scholars in mind".<ref>{{Cite web |author=김기중 |year=1986 |script-title=ko:現行 “로마字 表記法”의 문제점 – McCune-Reischauer System을 비판함 |trans-title=Problems of the current romanization system – Criticizing the McCune–Reischauer system |url=https://www.riss.kr/link?id=A19647790 |publisher=[[Gwangju University]] |language=ko |pp=8–9}}</ref>
