To explain a little bit (although you already may know) every "Kim" and every "Park" is not the "same". If you want to say the full name we put city names in front of the surname for example 김해 김씨 (Kim of Gimhae). So you could have the same surname Kim and not be related at all, but if you are a same Kim of Gimhae you might be related in some way. (I say might, because at one point in Korean History poor HIgh class people sold their family name to rich Low class people )

They tried to describe Korea as bad as possible, so implying vocabs that are less modernized, more vulgar etc. Japanese had the same ideology of Germans during WWII, of them being "superior than other races, thus have obligation to dominate others". The difference would be that German's side of story was spread around the world and criticized heavily, but it wasn't the case for Japan. So even today, it's quite easy to see old (30s or more) japanese think of Korea a lot lesser than what it actually is, and Japan being superior to Korea in every aspects.

@dondon_lee

3 жыл бұрын

Apparently, the current common surnames are because in old times only the noble class in Korea had family names. Sometimes the noble class would gift their own family name to someone of the lower class as a gift, elevating them and their family. And later when the laws changed so that the lower class could have a family name, many of them chose the important last names of the noble class or of people of legends as their family names. It resulted in many choosing the same family names. So now they have genealogy books and clans to differentiate the different family lines with the same family name. "Kim" is the most common last name currently in Korea and it literally means gold and it was a last name of a royal family back then. There are many different "Kim" clans, such as the Andong Kims, Gimhae Kims, and Nagan Kims. The clan name are usually of the originating town or city of the family. Also kinda weird calling it a last name because in Korea the family name comes before the given name.

You know in spoken Chinese there's actually another two sets of ways of referring to them. First you have the standard way like you mentioned which is just Chaoxian for NK and Hanguo for SK. But you can also say Bei Chaoxian for NK and Nan Chaoxian for SK, but this will piss off the S Koreans. You can also say Bei Han for NK and Nan Han for SK, but this will piss off the N Koreans. However interestingly in Japanese, they use Kankoku for SK without geographical descriptors, but Kita Chousen for NK with the additional description of North in front.

The name 'K'orea is not just used in English, it is also used in many other countries with Germanic, Nordic and Slavic languages. 'C'orea or similar names with 'C' are mostly used in the countries with Romantic languages. It depends on the phonetic features and preferred way of writing in each language.
