[KS] help with the correct romanization of Korean government system

[Junghee Lee]

Dear members,

I would like to know what should I consult or whom should I contact to 
check the correct romanization approved by the government of Korea.

I e-mailed the Academy of Korean Sciences but a staff did not seem to 
know himself what is the proper way. It did not get me to any place. I 
also consulted the books published by the Academy of Korean Studies, but 
it did not seem to reflect the changes supposed to occur with pronunciation.
For example, 발해, a book published by the Academy of Korean Studies 
book is written as Balhae. I saw a Chinese publication that romanize as 
Barhae in Korean and (Bohai in Chinese).
Do we treat 삼국유사's author 일연 as the person's name so need to write 
as Ilyeon or
should it be written as Iryeon reflecting the pronunciation?
How about the location names that are pronounced differently than what 
is written in Korean?

I would like to know whether there is any website that lists all the 
important examples in this system, or whether there is any e-mail 
contact of the person who is in charge of the current romanization 
system of the Korean government.

Your help will be appreciated.

Best wishes,

Junghee Lee
