Jeon (food)
''Jeon'' ( ko, 전, 煎) is a fritter in Korean cuisine made by seasoning whole, sliced, or minced fish, meat, vegetables, etc., and coating them with wheat flour and egg wash before frying them in oil. ''Jeon'' can be made with ingredients such as fish, meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetable, and be served as an appetizer, a ''banchan'' (side dish), or an '' anju'' (food served and eaten with drinks). Some jeons are sweet desserts; one such variety is called ''hwajeon'' (literally "flower ''jeon''"). Names Although ''jeon'' can be considered a type of ''buchimgae'' in a wider sense, ''buchimgae'' and ''jeons'' are different dishes.

Korean Won
The Korean won ( ko, 원 (圓), ) or Korean Empire won (Korean: 대한제국 원), was the official currency of the Korean Empire between 1902 and 1910. It was subdivided into 100 ''jeon'' (; ko, 전 (錢), ). Etymology Won is a cognate of the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen, which were both derived from the Spanish-American silver dollar. It is derived from the hanja (, ''won''), meaning "round", which describes the shape of the silver dollar. History The Korean won, Chinese yuan and Japanese yen were all derived from the Spanish-American silver dollar, a coin widely used for international trade between Asia and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries. On May 22, 1901 the Korean Empire adopted the gold standard in response to many other countries doing the same. The won was introduced in 1902, replacing the yang at a rate of 1 won = 10 yang. Units: 1 won = 100 jeon (錢), 1 jeon = 5 bun (分, "fun" ec. yesteryear spellings) of the preceding currency. Go ...

Korean Yang
The yang (양/兩) was the currency of Korea between 1892 and 1902. It was subdivided into 10 ''jeon'' (전/錢) or 100 ''bun'' (분/分); and 5 yang = 1 ''hwan'' (환/圜). Etymology The word yang (兩) is a cognate of the Chinese "tael" (Mandarin ). Fun (pronounced "pun" but spelt with an "f" on the coins), is also a cognate of a Chinese word, Mandarin , which is equal to yuan, whilst hwan is a cognate of yuan itself. History Just before the yang was introduced, a small number of coins denominated in ''hwan'' (환/圜) and ''mun'' (문/文) were minted (1 won = 1000 mun). It is unclear whether these coins circulated. The 1 won and 5 yang coins were equal in size, containing 416 grains of silver. However, before 1892, the main currency of Korea was the mun, a denomination based on the Chinese cash (Mandarin ). The mintage and circulation of modern currency began during the last years of the Joseon Dynasty as a result of contact with the West, using equipment to pr ...
