Chai, Myong-Hi. 2011. Presenting Korean Personal Names in International Contexts: Focusing on the Cases of Other Countries. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 36-1, 281-306. The purpose of this study is to attempt to suggest a "communicatable" way of presenting Korean personal names in various international contexts using the English alphabet. Koreans are currently using various formats of Romanized names, which can lead to confusion among non-Koreans. Considering Romanized names are needed for better communication with non-Koreans unfamiliar with Korean name formats, we argue that top priority should go to reducing possible confusion. For that purpose, we first explore various formats of world names and then examine how other countries with different name formats present their names in international contexts. Based on that examination, we suggest that the given name should be represented as one unit (as in 'Kilsun' or 'Kil-Sun'). As to the order of the names, we suggest three possible options, i.e. the 'Given name > Family name' order (as in 'Kilsun Hong'), the 'Family name, > Given name' order (as in 'Hong, Kilsun', in certain written contexts), and capitalization of the family name (as in 'HONG Kilsun' or 'Kilsun HONG', again in certain written contexts). Furthermore, we suggest that, in the case that certain conventions or rules are already set down, people should be allowed to follow them. (Chosun University College of Science & Technology)
