On July 1, Seoul started calling for the disuse of the Korean terms "pyeong" and "don" in all business transactions, government bulletins, advertisements and media reports. It will enforce the recommendations by issuing warnings, and punish repeat offenders with fines up to 500,000 won (US$545) starting in August.
