      The person is young trans woman from the United States of America, probably born as a male, transitioned into a female, and this person says she is an "expert" in North Korea athletics all while studying in South Korea.
      A lot of foreigners may choose old-sounding names because they are reading from a textbook, and the textbook may lean traditional.
      The un-prettyness is probably so because the person has chosen the name without consultation from native Korean speakers. The guy probably just chooses the name solely from the Hanja or something, while native speakers will analyze a name based on Hanja meaning and sound.

A degree like that would be very useful for a person who wants to go into the foreign service/diplomacy or who wants to work for one of the big “think tanks.” With a PhD, this person could also become a professor. And since this person probably speaks fluent Korean and has studied at a Korean university, they could probably become a professor in Korea if they don’t want to work in one of the Western countries. Any country that needs to train their diplomats on North Korean affairs would consider hiring someone with a degree in it.
