	Korean name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korean family names were influenced by Chinese family names, and almost all Korean family names consist of one hanja, and hence are one syllable.
		This is often a source of pragmatic difficulty for learners of Korean as a foreign language, and for Korean learners of Western languages.
		This naming system first entered Korea in the Three Kingdoms period, but only a handful of figures from that period, such as Seol Chong, are recorded as having borne a courtesy name.

	Korean Names
		When a new name was created, the family was given some land by a king and the city where the land was located became known as 'bon' or origin.
		Also, when people with only given names (lower class, and domestic slaves) were allowed to use (or to buy) family names, they preferred to use one out of existing names instead of creating new and thereby recognizable names for their own benefit.
		Since a generational name is not a middle name in American sense, and not exactly a given name either, Koreans are not sure how to anglicize their names.

	The Park Chung Hee Regime in South Korea
		Park Chung Hee was born in 1917 in the village of Sonsangun near Taegu in southeastern Korea.
		Park served with distinction in the South Korean Army during the Korean War and became an expert at logistics.
		The Park regime morality campaign was probably less about corruption than asserting the traditional Confucian social system in which "merchants" had to recognize their status at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

	What's in a Name? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		However, the traditional Korean reality is just the opposite: A wife doesn't attain status with her husband's family until her death, at which time she is then listed in the family records as being an ancestor of her children.
		The part of the given name which is not the generation marker is chosen with care by the father, or grandfather, or often by a person whose specialty is in choosing names.
		The single-syllable of each part of a Korean name is a result of the use of three Chinese characters -- each of which is pronounced as a single syllable -- to write names.

	Veteran's Memorial Park
		The Park serves as a memorial to those who have served our country in uniform during times of conflict, both on the battlefield and on the home-front.
		One of the first decisions was to finance the park construction as much as possible through the sale of the memorial bricks.
		The new Mount Morris Veterans Park is a testament to what can be done in a small village, without the necessity of public funds, to honor veterans and to educate citizens regarding the sacrifices of those who have served, are serving, and who will serve their country in the armed forces.

		Park Bok-Nam excelled under the rigorous training regimen imposed by his teacher, and was ultimately chosen by Lu Shui-Tian to be his successor.

		The stele was sponsored by the Korean Kung Fu Association in 1991 to officially record the lineage history of Pa Kua Chang in Korea.

	KOREAN AMERICAN HERITAGE
		The outcome of the assassination was the creation of the Korean National Association and the uniting of Koreans who were all determined to protect and provide the independence of their country outside of Korea.
		He said he could not represent the two Koreans because it was beneath him to act as their interpreter, as a Christian he could not defend two criminal assassins, and because he was a college student he could not become involved in what he thought would become a long trial.
		Bryan reviewed the situation of Koreans in America and ruled in their favor issuing a statement on July 2, 1913 requesting all officials to make the distinction and to deal with the KNA in all matters having to deal with Koreans in the United States.

		The Japanese government forbids the Korean language to be spoken and the country's flag to be flown, and even forces Korean families like Tae-yul and Sun-hee's to change their names (Sun-hee becomes Keoko).
		Park delicately and perhaps intuitively probes the individual characteristics of domination, courage and fortitude.
		It tells the story of a girl by the name of Sun-hee which means "girl of brightness" and her older brother by the name of Tae-yul which means "great warmth." Many things happen to all of the members of there family.

	MindZine - Go - Korea: Korean name variants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The problem for us at MSO is that we try to give a truly comprehensive coverage of the Korean scene, and so we are constantly referring to minor players, amateurs, officials and companies where the idiosyncratic readings are not known and would be hard to discover.
		A problem here is that Korean has pairs of sounds variously rendered as, for example, t-t' or d-t (not to mention emphasised variants) and it can be difficult to know which letter is intended in the original.

		Economically written, the story is told in alternating chapters from the perspective of the children of the Kim family, Sun-hee and her older brother Tae-yul.
		The family listens as a Korean runner competes and wins under his Japanese name Kitei Son and under the Japanese flag, an event that Sun-hee regards with awe when Uncle is arrested and beaten for defacing newspaper photos of Kitei Son.
		Later, when the Japanese confiscate precious rice and supplies from Korean civilians to aid the war effort, this clandestine patriotism is repeated by Tae-yul's crude carving of the Korean flag on the bottom of a bowl.

	Korean Cooking at Epicurious.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Long misperceived as a simple amalgam of Chinese and Japanese influences, Korean food is in fact distinctive in its taste and history.
		But unique to Korean cuisine are the strong, pungent flavors of dishes like kimchi, a highly seasoned side dish of fermented vegetables that gets a fiery kick from chile peppers.
		Cooks strive to harmonize five essential flavors (salty, sweet, sour, hot, and bitter) and colors (green, red, yellow, white, and fl) as exemplified in the dish known as bibim bob, a bowl of rice topped with sautéed beef, a medley of colorful vegetables, and a spicy sauce.

	Things Korean - Kimchi
		To most Koreans a meal without kimchi would be incomplete, or even unthinkable.
		In all its variations, kimchi provides the Korean diet with essential vitamins as well as a distinctive flavor that invariably draws strong reactions from the first-time taster.
		Destractors protest that their nostrils and taste buds are overwhelmed by the garlic and hot red peppers that season the best-known cabbage and turnip kimchi.

	Korean-American ex-xtian - Testimonies of Ex-Christians
		Reverend Park and other members of this church taught me the bible is the Inerrant word of god, that we should believe in Genesis rather than evolution, that Jesus is coming soon and there will be a resurrection, to pray in jesus' name and believe in miracles.
		Among Rev Park's positions is that (1) women should not be ordained clergy as it's against what the Bible teaches and (2) Roman Catholicism is a false religion.
		Mary and Ester Park never told me what their father's response to this is. I've heard anecdotes their father, who has apparently moved back to Korea, still talks about what a wonderful christian I am, in his sermons -- a fact that impressed him.

	languagehat.com: MYANMARRRGH.
		There is, of course, no r sound in Sade; the description was created by Brits who don't pronounce the r and wanted to indicate the a sound in "father." Why they didn't make it "Shah-day," which would indicate the same sound and would work for all English-speakers, is beyond me, like the appeal of cricket.
		Thai is full of them: the last syllable of Chulalongkorn [University] is actually kawn, and people named Porntip would get a lot less grief from English-speakers if it were written Pawntip or Pohntip.
		And the absurd new name for Burma, "Myanmar," is made more absurd by the fact that not only is the r not pronounced, it's not even used consistently: the country's postal service is called Myanma Posts and Communications, for Pete's sake.

	[No title]
		The Korean software market was extremely small, primarily due to the widespread practice of piracy (United States Trade Representative, 1996).
		The Korean software market in 1993 was as small as one billion dollars (Korea Software Industry Association, 1997), and most of the sales were made from system integration service, not package software.
		Recently, the name “PC room”, which is a direct translation of this Korean name, has been increasingly common in the United States for the same type of business.
