Messiah
그리스도 (transliteration of ‘Christos’) is the KRV standard, used consistently. Unlike Japan, Korea’s high existing Christian literacy means biblical illiteracy is a smaller concern here; still avoid conflating with 미륵 (Mireuk, Maitreya, the future Buddha of Korean Buddhist eschatology, historically invoked by Korean folk-millenarian movements).
