Frequently asked questions

Are the Korean names authentic?

Can I use my Korean name on social media?

Absolutely. Many K-pop fans use their Korean names as fan names on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. Your name comes with romanization (e.g. Lee Seo-yeon) so non-Korean speakers can read it too.

What is the Korean name format?

Korean names follow the format: Family name (성) + Given name (이름). For example, 이서연 — 이 is the family name (Lee), 서연 is the given name. Family names are typically one syllable.
