In wcg pages i saw that they write name then surename, but silent_control's name was writen: Do Hyun, Na. So i assume that his name is Do Hyun and surename is Na. But then i would think that there are a lot brothers in the progaming scene - all the Baks (BakJeongSuk, BakTaeMin, BakKyungRak and others) and the other thing about Nal_Ra, why his name is so exceptional? only 2 sylables? asking just for knowledge, thx in advance =) | ||

Which means Jeong Seok (Bak Jeong Seok = Reach) is his name and I guess friends call him by that name (I dont know how it works exactly and I think it differs from person to person how personal they want to get). Jeong Seok means normal or standard but I'm not sure if it still holds that meaning when you have it as a name. Oh and Yo Hwan means 'from the forest' right? | ||

Nal_ra's name is kang min, which is 'diffrent' since most korean names have a 2 syllable 'first name', and a 1 syllable family name, I think there's been a threat about this. but, in names we all know: Hong Jin-ho Lim Yo-Hwan Jang Jin-su The first are family names the other are given names, if I remember correctly | ||

Common Family Names: Lee Kim Park Choi Jang Yoo Yoon Goh Cho Jun Im (often spelled Lim in English) Hong So if you see these in a name, there is a good chance it is the family name. | ||

Then there is Kang Ta who is member of H.O.T whom H.O.T.- Forever is named after. But yeah it's pretty much covered here. Just because John Brown and Joe Brown have same last names don't mean they are brothers, and neither are Kang Min and I, otherwise I would be fucking awesome at starcraft (--v) | ||

Also, all As are pronounced AHHH like the a in "hahaha" Not AYYYY. Often you will hear journalists totally butcher Korean (and other Asian) names. It makes me upset. For example the other day I was watching the news and they were talking about a Dr. named Dr. Wang. This is not pronounced "Wayng" as in "way" but rather "WAHng." Watch the BoxeR vs Joyo VOD to see what I am talking about. Joyo's name is Do Jin Kwang (also spelled Doh Jin Kwang). Listen to how they pronounce that. It annoys me so much when journalists do that. | ||

Not sure about the others though. If I could see them in Hangul it'd be easier. | ||
