Kim is another good one - I've met several Korean men named Kim. Though I'm not 100% sure they weren't using their family name as their everyday identity name (the Kims I met were not related). | ||

Kim Jong Un, right :) Very likely it's their family name. Kim is the most common family name in Korea. Most Korean given names are two characters (=2 syllables) and more difficult to pronounce and memorize for westerners. And because of the space inserted between two romanized syllables (Jong Un), they are often misunderstood as middle + given names. | ||

Kim actually is usually a family name, but it's written first. | ||
