And for the tossgirl thing, her name is Seo Ji Soo as you said. "Seo" is her last name and her first name would be "Ji-Soo"..a two syllabal word. Same as Thomas..it's two syllabus can be broken down to Tah-mus in korean. | ||

What I don't understand is why the English translation of Korean names makes it so that a two syllable word ends up being turned into a 2 word name. Each Korean character "chunk" is only a syllable, not necessarily a word, but for Korean names being translated into English, each syllable gets treated as if it were its own word. I wonder why. Name: Albert Rhodes Translated Name: Al Bert Rhodes Just seems more confusing to me. | ||

Same principle; their name is Kangmin but it is pronounced as Kang*min No, Nal_rA has a special korean name in that it's only a "one-syllable" name. "Kang" is his last name so although commentators might say "Kang Min sun soo," normal dongsengs would just call him "minny hyung"..just read what i posted above. | ||
