According to the M-R system, it should be Tan'gun. Tangun would be
pronounced 'tang un'. The same goes for Han'guk and Han'gUl (the capital U
representing the u with a breve). So Chungang is correct. If an author uses
both in an article, more likely than not, Tangun is a typo. An apostrophe can
so easily be omitted, if one is not careful.
