Annyeong! :)
Suddenly I want to name a few of my favourite Korean celebrities.
SHINee Choi Minho - SHINee Lee Taemin - 2AM Jo Kwon - BEG Son Gain - Jang Keun Suk - Park Shin Hye - Lee Hong Ki - CNBLUE Jung Yong Hwa - Kim Hee Chul - Kim Jae Joong - Song Ji Hyo
If you can see, the word in different colour above is Korean family names. According to Ask A Korean, there are meaning behind each name. For example 김 [Kim] means gold, 이 [Lee] means plum tree, 박 [Park/Pak] means Magnolia tree and 최[Choi] means pinnacle.
Some common Korean family names:-
강 [Kang], 권 [Kwon], 김 [Kim], 박 [Park], 이 [Lee], 유 [Yoo], 윤 [Yoon], 류 [Ryu], 하 [Ha], 한 [Han]
But did you know that even though some people share the same family name, they might not have any family relationship at all. Why? Seoulistic come to help.
What is the first name appear in your mind for each of family names above?
Mine is Kang Sora, Kwon Jiyong, Kim Heechul, Park Yejin, Lee Hyori, Yoo Jaesuk, Yoon Dujun, Ryu Siwon, Ha Jiwon, Han Gain.
Have a 'Wonder Girls' weekend, 여러분! ^^
