The original spelling of that particular country until the Japanese colonization from 1910-1945. Japan basically wanted the "K" to go after their country's name alphabetically. Note that Spanish, French and other european langauge use "C" for Corea instead of "K" for the dumb-second class english speaking countries.

Corea-Korea is simply difference between Latin languages and English/German.

Original spelling (since 19th century in history books, maps etc.) of Korea. However during Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945), the Japanese imperialists changed the K to C to prevent Corea coming before Japan in the alphabetical lineup of nations.

Many countries such as France, Spain, Italy and Brazil never accepted "K" spelling while it is generally accepted in English speaking countries.
During World Cup 2002, Korean supporters used "C" spelling on their various props such as scarves and banners.

Whoever says that this is the right way to spell "Korea" in English, is a retarded fascist Korean. Japan has never ever tried to change a supposedly English word "Korea" into "Corea".

Actually, the whole "Corea" discourse was invented in Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Corea, as they prefer to be called). These North Korean version of ridiculous fascism must be eradicated from the surface of the globe, with all the retards together who believe in this conspiracy theory.
-Hey, did you know that Korea should be spelled with C, Corea?
-No, but I would never like to talk with a retard again. Bye.
