It may be a big issue because wikipedia page is locked and wait discussion about name http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%9D%E9%AE%AE%E8%AA%9E
It said that academia use 朝鮮語 by historical or conventional reason.

There also exist a log of discussion by Japanese translation team. They suggested use of 韓国語 , which is reflected more and more interchange with Japanese and South Korean in recent years.
