@@htetaunglin704 Korean names come from chinese characters. Jang and Jang (蔣 and 張）is two completely different word. In Chinese, one is pronounced as *_Jiang_* and another is *_Zhang_* . But in Korean there are less vowels and tones than Chinese language so that why both pronunciation is simplified as Jang
@@littlebluefishy Yes that’s correct, in Cantonese they have different pronunciations too! 張 is pronounced as Cheung and 蔣 is pronounced as Churng but they still are written as Cheung.
both the surname pronounced the same as Jang in Korean but different in Chinese (same as Vietnam, too). Wonyoung's surname in Vietnamese we pronounce as "Trương" but the No.92 is "Tưởng". Have you ever heard about 蔣介石 (jiǎng jiè shí), the politician who created Taiwan ? His surname is the No.92 like in Korean.
i'll never forget how many times Ong Seongwoo got asked if that's real bc not one person in multiple situations had ever met an Ong 😂 straight up like "that's an actual family name?"
if you live or studying in Confucianism’s affected countries like China, Korea, Japan, even Vietnam; it’s much better to understand our names because all of our names can be be written and read in Chinese, and you can use it and pronounce in Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Vietnamese way (Hanja in Korea, Kanji in Japan or Hán Tự in Vietnamese). Sometimes we also translate Japanese names or Korean names (through Chinese) and pronounce in Vietnamese way and the social of Korean living Vietnam very like it.
In this case, hanja (hanzi/chinese characters) is better than hangeul for write surnames. Hangeul make we hard to distinguish these surnames. Example, a lot of people (especially writers in wattpad think Wonwoo (Seventeen) and Jungkook (Bts) both have same surname (which is Jeon, in hangeul 전). But actually Wonwoo's surname is 全 (in korean read as Jeon) and Jungkook's surname is 田 (in korean read as Jeon too).

my mom family name is one of the rarest surname in south korea. my mom surname is "Dae" (대 / 戴). there's less than 1000 people who has this surname in south korea but I'm not one of them cuz my dad surname is Jung
that means your mom has the same surname with 대종 (Dae Jong or 戴宗), a character in ShuiHu (Water Margin) story. Your mom's surname is quite rare in Vietnam, too.

unique means not common.

How rare would 'boo' be cause the only person I know with that surname is Boo Seungkwan from seventeen
boo is only common in jeju/ southern par of sokor. where seungkwan came from.

My 3 biases are here... Eun Jiwon, Cho Kyuhyun and Song Minho, also there's a lot of celebrities with Jang surname, Jang Nara, Jang Kiyoung, Jang Suwon from Sechskies
Btw you forgot Boo (Seungkwan from Seventeen)
Boo is out of 100 fyi
he's the only boo so it isnt in top 100

There is a weird dynamic with 최 in the US. It’s spelled Choi, but pronounced chway / chae.
I only know this because of my ex-coworker. It threw me off since the English doesn’t match the Hangul.
If it is pronounced as Chway/chae, it means that he is Chinese
@@worldstats.official A quick search will tell you otherwise: short version. Another name bungled by Americans.

BTW is 34 spelled wrong in Hangul?
I think nope?
It's right
Sorry, it’s 33. The Hangul says ‘no’ but the name is ‘r/lo’.
@@DemonaLlama Both are acceptable, some spelled as Noh and some are Roh

It's 2023 now and still looking for something in this video. It's still interesting until now. I've found that Miyeon G-Idle and Kyuhyun SuJu have different surnames although the pronounciation is still the same in Korea (or count as 2, not for a complicated case like Kang surname). Miyeon G-Idle share the same surname with Cao Cao, famous king of Wei in the Three Kingdom Era in China, and Kyuhyun share his surname with Zhao Yun, famous "General Tiger" of Shu in Three Kingdom
Kyuhyun and Miyeon have the same surname.
@@andrewpark5757 hey hey, don't be ridiculous like that. Same in pronounciation but different in meaning, ok? You are American, not "real" Korean so you don't really understand about that. Can you read Hanja perfectly? Look at their Hanja's name, man.
@@doanlinh9525 I am a "real" Korean born in Korea. I suggest you take a look at their hanja names. They share the same hanja surname. Even this video shows Kyuhyun at No.27. Same surname as Miyeon.
liked it when u put I.N, lol
Waited for boo seungkwan 😂
This video is for Top 100 surnames. Boo is No.110
