- khuey 11y agoEven more so. Something like 20% of Koreans are surnamed Kim. Park is another 8% or so.
- mc32 11y agoApparently people used to buy in to more prestigious family names which lead to whittling down of Korean surnames.
- colanderman 11y agoWhy would the author choose the same fake name (Kim) for two people? They're definitely their real names.
