Kinda agree but to be fair it's damn hard to write our names in Latin alphabet
Evan Cox
Koreans basically use Chinese names though. They just use a Korean pronunciation. Koreans stopped using Korean names sometime before the last millennium.
Jordan King

Adrian Nelson

How to make your own Chinese name:
Get a family name
Wang (王) for Mainland
Chen (陳) for Taiwan
Find two words that describe you, for example:
臭牛 (Strong, Warm)
大屁 (Agile, Strong personality)
小雞 (Caring, Provides eggs)
Put them together like this:
王臭牛
Congratulations on your Chinese name

How to easily come up with a Chinese name
1. Get a spoon
2. Throw it down a flight of stairs
3. Write down the first three sounds it makes

Koreans talking to one another seem like they're struggling to communicate with each other despite speaking in their mother tongue, like that norwegian meme video about danish language.
Adam Torres
Probably not I guess.
Cuz kanji/hanja is too long to use as a family name and they are more like words
Its usually short. like song, choi, back, lim, you and so on

before Japan annexed korea, in The Joseon dynasty, shit loads of koreans were slaves of Yangban.
en.m.wikipedia.org
they didn't have surname in family register of The Joseon dynasty. they just had second names, like "manlet", "dog shit", "black" and so on, and their gender in the family register of the "Yangban".

(from web site written by zainichi korean whose grandparents came to Japan before ww2 started)
even after Japan annexed korea, koreans couldn't have Japanese names, both surname and first name. Japan had kept avoiding fusion of korean family register and Japanese family register, untill 11/2/1940. they still needed to take their master "Yangban"'s surname.
The policy called "創氏改名" "making surname and changing first name" was implemented at the day, 11/2/1940.
but there was a difficulty to implement it.
Some of Japanese politicians tried to banned the policy.
but a Korean member of parliament, 朴春琴, blamed the movement at 15/2/1940.
>朴春琴は創氏が始まった直後の2月15日に衆議院予算委員会で質問に立ち、暗に創氏反対を主張する古谷栄一という人物を指して「ある内地の馬鹿があって、朝鮮人が日本人になるというので、あんな民法令(実際は民事令)を改姓したのは間違っている。つまり大和民族というものは正しくて、朝鮮人のような悪い奴を日本人にすることは怪しからぬと言っている」と発言している。

finally 80% of koreans made their own surname, that's no more their master "Yangban"'s surname.
>創氏は朝鮮半島の人たちの約8割の家庭の戸主が日本風の氏を届出た
ameblo.jp
but after 1945, anti-Japan korean regimes blamed Japan for the "創氏改名", and they started to use their master "Yangban"'s surname. If your surname was not "Yangban"'s, that meant your family were slaves. and could easily got bullied in korea.

Not extinct but very rare

What
I thought most Korean family name correspond to a single Hanja?
Daniel Kelly
Aliev, Gasanov, Mamedov are the most popular surnames in azerbaijan.
Ethan King
Jace Clark

Jonathan Jones
I mean hanja as the word would be hard to use as a family name, mate
>I thought most Korean family name correspond to a single Hanja?
You are right
We usually use single hanja

As opposed to what? Korean/Chinese names are lovely, meaningful, historical, and compact.
