    상명 (Sangmyeong) could be a word that is meant to be written in Hanja.

    From wiktionary:

    常明 (“eternal-bright”)

    常 (transcribed as 상):

    • “honorable; righteous; upright; dignified”
    • “eternal; everlasting”
    • “constant; frequent”

    明 (trans. 명):

    • “bright”

    There’s also 詳明 (“detailed and clear”).

    Both 常明 (“eternal-bright”) and 詳明 (“detailed and clear”) are Hanja transcribed as 상명 (Sangmyeong). Maybe it’s multiple choice?

    It’s also the name of an university in Occupied Korea: Sangmyung University.
