One of the problems with romanizations of Korean names is that despite the existances of [[Wikipedia:McCune-Reischauer|McCune-Reischauer]], and later [[Wikipedia:Revised Romanization of Korean|Revised Romanization]], many Korean personal names are still popularly romanized differently from both. This lack of a standardized method of romanizing names has created a problem of which many variants of the same name exist. An example will be: [[Song Il Gook]] being sometimes found as [http://contents.kbs.co.kr/program/program_dview.php?contentsUid=49 Song Il Guk], or even Song Il Kook.

One of the problems with romanizations of Korean names is that despite the existances of McCune-Reischauer, and later Revised Romanization, many Korean personal names are still popularly romanized differently from both. This lack of a standardized method of romanizing names has created a problem of which many variants of the same name exist. An example will be: Song Il Gook being sometimes found as Song Il Guk, or even Song Il Kook.

The purpose of this Romanization preference list is to create a DramaWiki-wide standard when it comes to romanizing Korean personal names. Reason for this is that all articles in DramaWiki are linked two-ways (Jang Dong Gun has acted in All About Eve and is listed in his drama list. The list in the All About Eve page is also linked back to him).

Other things to note when romanizing artist names are as follows:

  • All parts of the name are seperated without dashes and capitalized. (eg. Jang Dong Gun instead of Jang Dong-gun)
  • The revised romanization of the name is put in brackets after the name, still without dashes. (eg. 장동건 / Jang Dong Gun (Jang Dong Geon))
  • All other variants will be put in a Also known as: section in the profile so that all variations can be found.
  • Artist preference should supersede the rules below. A good indicator of an artist preference is a romanized social media account such as Instagram or Twitter, though the latter has become increasingly less popular by artists.
