Korean names

I never thought that my name was possible to get mixed up with a Korean name, Bradley (David) Simpson is not particulary Korean, and when I arrived I found out that my Korean name was BD Shim.

The most common surnames in Korea are:
Kim
Kang
Lee
Song
Kwon
Choi
Park

With Kim and Lee probably the most common. There are a few others but these are the most common.

Today was interesting as last week I had to pay for a function and today I was e-mailed saying that they have still not received the payment. I asked them to recheck and they came back to say they found my payment, it had been shown under...

Brad Lee

And surprisingly they had a person also with that name.
