- Helping out with a ref for both hooks [1] (also in the article). Quotes in orig. Korean with my translation: "위 기사에서도 볼 수 있듯, 4천여 점에 이르는 유물 가운데 자그마치 3천4백 점이 잿더미가 되는 대참사가 일어나죠... 이 가운데는 48점이나 되는 조선 역대 임금의 초상화도 들어 있었습니다. 그나마 불에 타고 남은 조각이라도 건진 것은 다 합쳐서 18점. 나머지 30점은 화마(火魔)에 흔적도 없이 사라지고 말았습니다." -> "As you can see in the article above, a disaster occurred in which 3,400 of 4,000 relics were reduced to ashes in an instant... Among these were 48 portraits of past kings of the Joseon Dynasty. 18 items among these were salvaged, with the remaining 30 being completely lost." 211.43.120.242 (talk) 13:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Overall:
Nice work on a neglected topic. Just one thing... The old Kyung Hyang newspaper image shown in your source says "3400餘點이 釜山火災". '3400餘點' means 'more than 3400 and less than 3500' therefore 3400—3500. While 'around 3400' is not technically wrong, a more precise translation would be '3400—3500'. See this article: '여(餘)'는 수량을 나타내는 말(십·백·천·만 등) 뒤에 붙어 '그 수를 넘음'의 뜻을 더하는 접미사로 사용된다. '10만여'는 그 범위가 10만을 넘지만 11만 미만임을 나타낸다. 10만 1부터 10만 9999까지의 어느 수를 이른다. BorgQueen (talk) 23:21, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- Much thanks for the review! I think it'll be fine to leave the hook for now as some of the sources ([2]) also cite "around 3400" (3400여 점) relics. -- 00101984hjw (talk) 00:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @00101984hjw: The very source you just cited translates "...1981년에 9만여 점으로 확대되어" (국문요약, page 165) to "...became more than 90,000 in 1981" (See the English abstract, page 203), not "around" 90,000. BorgQueen (talk) 01:27, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- 한국어로 말씀드릴께요. 3400여점이란 말은 3400점이 넘는다는, 그러나 3500점이 안된다는 말입니다. 이걸 around 3400로 번역할 경우 3400에 약간 못미치는 수도 포함하기 때문에 정확한 번역이 아니라는거죠. BorgQueen (talk) 01:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @BorgQueen: Fair enough. Should we change the hook then? -- 00101984hjw (talk) 01:39, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've reworded the hook. I'll fix the wording in the article too, when I have more time. Thanks for your understanding. BorgQueen (talk) 01:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
