Ken:
I have come across Koreans referring to the Korean language as Han-gu^l,
but I think only when they are speaking English, or at least speaking to a
foreigner. It seems to be a case of leaning over backwards to be helpful.
I remember dealing with people at Hyundae who invariably pronounced it to
rhyme with "hewn dye" for my benefit.

P.S. I will refrain from recursively incorporating Duggan's or Kim-Renaud's
response incorporating Underwood response incorporating your original
message. There may be no shortage of electrons in the universe, but this
has got to stop somewhere!
