"Even so, after hundred years, I can't imagine even the Koreans care that much since they have their own way of spelling their nations name no matter how English decides to spell it."

It can be an expression of national identity. South Korea has only emerged from Japan's shadow in the past decade or so. Changing the 'K' to a 'C' would be one way to express that. Objectively, it is a small thing. But sometimes small things can loom large...

I personally have no idea how important this movement is in South Korea. Given that there can never really be a way to compensate them for the "comfort women"(not all of whom were Korean or Chinese) and their occupation, this is something that can be done.
