Especially Because Of What It Means And How That Meaning Relates To Her Character And Role In The Story I Want To Tell - Blog Posts

squid game fic readers, how many characters with -yeong at the end of their given name is too many?

my upcoming WIP features gi-hun’s daughter ga-yeong as the main POV. I have an OC who I’ve been trying to find a name for, and research has given me the name chae-yeong which for a number of reasons fits her perfectly, but she’s going to be part of the core trio with ga-yeong and I worry it’ll be confusing to keep up with

do koreans ever go by the first part of their name only? we call sae-byeok ‘sae’ but is that a westernism or is it actually the done thing? because I could introduce the character and then shorten her name to chae immediately

Idk gang anyone have any thoughts
