Why Korean names trip up English speakers

  • Names are usually a one-syllable family name + a two-part given name — Son Heung-min.
  • EU has no English match; Americans land on a short ‘uh’ — Heung → huhng.
  • Vowels are pure and consonants are crisp; keep the beats even.
  • The family name comes first in the Korean order (Son, Kim, Lee).
