Hello. Hope I'm allowed to ask about this.
I'm writing a novel in which there's a kind of absent central character that is American. For some reasons I changed some details about that character and made it Korean. I can't go through what I've already written and change his name in all the pages, but today I started calling him "Kim" in my writing. I don't know much about the Korean culture/language, but from watching Korean drama and movies I could see that Korean names are usually made of three syllables. Accordingly, I can't leave it as "Kim" only.
Hmm.. honestly, I was inspired a little bit by Kim Sang Bum, the Korean actor whom I HAVE to meet as we both were born on the same day=D, but I can't call that character Kim Sang Bum. I want it to be "Kim" though, but how can I "complete" the name? I believe there must be some kind of rules for the Korean names?
