Dear Mr. Algieri, we fellas over at /r/boxing are avocado-advocates!

What is the best way to prep a perfect avocado toast for breakfast?

朝鮮 actually means Korea as a whole.

Before the communist revolution in Korea, Korea has always been known as 朝鮮.

And as HTxxD mentioned, 朝鮮 can also be used an the ethnic term "朝鮮." Doesn't matter if you're from North or South, you're still labelled as 朝鮮 on your ID card in China.

But you're correct. In China, 朝鮮 is used to describe North Korea and 韩国 for South Korea.
