Shouldn't the name of this community be 조선 rather than 북한?

North Korea doesn't want to be called as 'NK/북한' because they think they're country in the center of the korean peninsula. And why would we call them Chosun? Most people would think of Chosun dynasty when someone say 'chosun/조선'.

Choson is the official name of the DPRK.

because 조선 is the name of the country, why would we call them anything else
