Why do Korean names have to be translated into Chinese? ! Transliteration? Or ...?

The earliest founder of Korea was Chinese immigrants, and the climate was Huaxia-Han who immigrated to Korea for a long time.

So Koreans are actually a branch of Huaxia-Han nationality.

So they use Chinese and Han culture.

Of course, you have to use Chinese characters.

But most Koreans are illiterate, and only a few intellectuals can read Chinese characters.

So a Korean king invented hanyu pinyin to help those who can't read learn Chinese characters. This pinyin is called "Xunmin Andrew". Also known as "proverbs".

After World War II, South Korea split.

North Korea abolished Chinese characters and only used "proverbs";

South Korea abolished Chinese characters in the 1970s and used "proverbs".

But people's names are still in Chinese characters, and this habit cannot be changed.
