Korean Names That Start With J Novels & Stories

"Oh! Sergey, this is Kim Seo-joon," Kyrian said, beaming. "But I call him Joon-Hyung. He was the one I stayed with in Korea while Dad was doing business there. He basically raised me for two years." He turned to Seo-joon. "Hyung, means 'Big Brother' in Korean. And Hyung, this is Sergey, my best friend." Seo-joon adjusted his rimless glasses, a polite, charming smile playing on his lips. He looked every bit the powerful CEO—sharp grey suit, perfectly styled hair, and an aura of calm authority.

“I’m not sure. Some people call me Ren. Like my dad, my grandpa, and some of the elders who were there for my father’s birth. But my mother calls me Percy so people kind of went with it.” He made a humming sound like he was processing what I’d said. “I kind of get it.” “You have a Korean name?” He laughed awkwardly. “Park Tayeon Jr. My dad is Tayeon, but he didn’t want people to butch my name so I took my mother’s last name and her late brother’s first name.” I formed an O with my mouth. I thought the name was familiar. “But don’t people butcher his name?” “Yes, sometimes. That’s why they just call him Tay. He hates that name.”

Her final weeks in America is really a memorable one. “Anna Kim? Wow!” Anna Kim is a Korean actress and a model who also owns beauty shops in some countries. She’s quite popular but that’s not Leah’s problem right now! What was Anna Kim during in front of their Villa? “Hi Da In” Anna Kim said with a smile. Leah thought she heard wrong for a moment. ‘Da In' was her Korean name and it’s only her relatives in Korea that know of the name. What the hell was happening? She raised her brows at Anna Kim who had a beautiful smile plastered on her beautiful face.

"Yes his name is Jason and he didn't grow up in the states or anything. His mother just gave him that name." "Oh wow that's odd. I don't think I have ever met any Korean person with only an English name before" She said as she slid her arms around mine so that she could be more comfortable on my shoulder. I went on to tell her more about Jason and his peculiar mother, but she dozed off way before I could even get halfway through it. She didn't wake up again and only stirred awake after we'd pulled over up front and Jason was already out and opening doors for us.

“You like the name Jake, baby boy?” Again, my son kicks against my hand. “Then it’s settled. Jake, it is,” Jenna winks at me, then lets go of my hand. I smile to myself while looking out at the road ahead. “Jake,” I whisper. “Jake Luther Min-Joon Dalgaard.” Jenna tells me proudly. Jenna has said from the beginning that she wanted to interpret her father’s Korean heritage in the baby’s name. Who am I to begrudge her that small request? “It’s perfect, Jenna, just perfect.”

Look at the initials," Joonjae pointed out, handing the ring to him. Undertaker and Yoseob leaned in to read. "KJ 6.6.1995," he read out loud. "KJ...wait. KJ stands for…" "Kim Jisoo," Joonjae revealed. "My mother's name. That ring belonged to her."

Her father shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. Doesn't seem to have a Korean name. That kid lived abroad for a long time. Only ever lived here for a short while. I heard you guys were even in the same class in middle school." His father looked at him with his usual flat facial expression-unexplained, and difficult to translate, "Try to remember slowly. It shouldn't be difficult to get together if you were friends before." “Ah—yes,” Josh vaguely seemed to know who the girl mentioned by his parents was. If I remember correctly, there were many of his friends who were from overseas or mixed marriages and still used their Western names on a daily basis, without paying much attention or even k

Andy and I do just that. We go inside a Bently. Dae-Hyun's older brother speaks as he gets in front, "I'll drop her off first because it's the gentlemanly thing to do." "Heard and accepted," Andy nods as he gets into the passenger seat. I was in the back. "We weren't properly introduced, I'm Hugo Lee, Lee Hyun-Ki being my true, Korean name. But like my brother, I prefer being called my Korean name, unless it's business related."

* Patrice thought as she wished she wouldn’t be paired with L. “Next, for Elliot Lee… Jina Kang.” Mrs. Kim called. Elliot even squealed when he said his tutor. Patrice found that cute by the way. “For Alonzo Nam… Sofie Ha.” Alonzo even stood up and led that certain Sofie Ha to her seats. *Wow. She’s one lucky girl.* Patrice thought as she admired Nam Grease. “For Jason Jang… Jung Jihyun.” Jason waved at her and smiled widely.

“Shadow’s Korean name Ji-hoon meant 'ambition' and 'meritorious deed'. You can say he was born to do great things. But it would be a mistake to downplay his mother’s, Ma’am Meow’s, influence behind the scenes. Mrs. Kim was a force of nature.
