Korean name
Hangul personal identifier
A Korean name typically consists of a family name followed by a given name, the reverse of Western order.
The family name comes first and is usually one syllable (Kim, Park, Lee), while the given name is typically two syllables.
Korean names carry significant meaning, with characters chosen for their auspicious qualities.
When Koreans use Western contexts, they often reverse the order: His Korean name is Kim Min-jun, but he goes by Min-jun Kim at work.
