Eight Provinces (Paldo) of Korea

During the Joseon dynasty, the Korean peninsula was divided into eight provinces. Today, these traditional Eight Provinces (팔도 / paldo) serve as the basis for geographic regions of Korea, culture and dialect areas, and modern administrative boundaries. Can you name all eight provinces?
Revised Romanization (used by South Korea) and McCune-Reischauer (used by North Korea) romanizations are both accepted.
Jeju is not considered a separate province under this framework.
