Dear Colleagues

I remember that a year or two ago a member of our list posted an interesting fact that the McCune-Reischauer Romanization system was actually created by a few Korean scholars.  But the two Western scholars' names were used to provide "legitimacy" for the system.  Unfortunately I did not save that post. Could somebody confirm this story and provide the names of the two scholars?
