[KS] Romanization

I find it very hard to understand why so many ordinary Koreans feel that
"eo" is the most natural way of representing the 'O' sound of Seoul
unless it is precisely that they have grown up with that spelling and it
has fixed itself as their model. Which makes me wonder just where that
spelling came from, and why the French have put an accent over the 'e'?
Does anyone know? Please?
