circled-heart asked: hey! its me again. im gonna ask about like ur names. example its Lee Min Ho. is the Lee the surname? and the Min Ho the name? or the other way around? i'm always confused with this. and like when writing ur names is there a pattern? like example you'll right from left to right or right to left. do u always start with the surname? and lastly like when you write. do you like change the places?

Asian countries writes the family name(last names) first because Asian culture is heavily based on family and the honor and you know the basic general stereotypical Asian idealism stuff (i think……:3) so the family name/last name is important therefore comes first (i think that’s how it all started in the Asian culture…..no facts about my assumptions tho :3)

So names, Korean names are like writing in a lot of other Asian names where always last name comes first and first name comes last, like Kim Gina but your name’s still Gina. When introducing yourself, you would be like hi my name is Kim Gina which is equivalent way of saying Gina Kim in America or other Western Countries. 

Korean, like English is written and read from left to right, I think only japanese peeps read and write from right to left…..not really sure :P

But this name order doesn’t matter if you are westerner, so if you guys are in Korea, just be normal and be like hi i’m james conner. Don’t have to be like i’m conner james, it’s just an Asian thing.

i just realized that you prob was talking about shinee minho민호 or the actor….but lolz

yea Lee is the last name aka surname and min ho/minho (either way is correct when written in English cuz it’s just personal prefernece) but in korean, you wouldn’t separate ‘em so it won’t be 민 호(min ho), but would be 민호(minho).
