Chapter 3. Special Provisions
Section 3.1 Such phonemic shifts, as may be shown in phonetic hangul, and as to be reflected in romanization are illustrated case by case in the following.

3.1.1 The case of phonetic assimilation between consonants nearby

3.1.2 The case of epenthetic 'ㄴ, ㄹ'

3.1.3 The case of palatalization

3.1.4 The case of 'ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅈ' being merged with 'ㅎ' nearby and aspirated into 'ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅊ', respectively

Yet, this does not apply to substantives.

3.1.4 Note Glottalization may be ignored.

Section 3.2 A hyphen /-/ may be used wherever a syllabic confusion may exist.

Section 3.3 The initial of a proper noun is capitalized.

Section 3.4 The family name is followed by a space and the given name.

3.4.1 The romanization of personal names ignores phonetic shifts that may occur in them.

3.4.2 The romanization of family names may be decided elsewhere.

Section 3.5 Administrative units '도, 시, 군, 구, 읍, 면, 리, 동, 가' are romanized respectively as /do, si, gun, gu, eup, myeon, ri, dong, ga/ with a hyphen in front. The assimilation, if any, around the hyphen is ignored.

3.5 Note Such administrative units as '시, 군, 읍' may be omitted.

Section 3.6 Names of geographical designations, cultural assets, and constructed artifacts may be romanized without any hyphen /-/.

Section 3.7 Tthe name of natural and legal persons may remain the same as romanized previously.

Section 3.8 Where the recovery of the canonic hangul is required in special areas such as academic articles, that hangul shall be transliterated into Roman letters. In this case, the transliteration shall accord to Chapter 2 except that 'ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㄹ' shall be constantly rendered as /g, d, b, l/. The voiceless 'ㅇ' shall be rendered as a hyphen /-/ which may be omitted when it is the initial of a word. The hyphen may also be used where syllables should be made distinct.
