Off topic, but when a story involves multiple people with the same surname, they really should write out their full names at all times instead of just "Park" or "Kim".
- nickbauman 10y agoKim and Park are kinda like Smith and Jones in the Anglo world. I suspect it's not the real names.
- khuey 10y agoEven more so. Something like 20% of Koreans are surnamed Kim. Park is another 8% or so.
- mc32 10y agoApparently people used to buy in to more prestigious family names which lead to whittling down of Korean surnames.
- colanderman 10y agoWhy would the author choose the same fake name (Kim) for two people? They're definitely their real names.
