What an adventure! Sorry for the nasty sun burn, hope you guys already learn from this and be prepared again next week.
Korean names are similar in structure to the Chinese names. I once let a friend interpret my Chinese name in Korean, it came up as Kyung Woo and I actually kinda like it. Perhaps, give your son a Korean name? And start to own it?
Nowadays Korean kids change their name from what is their legal name. They tell me, call me _ _ _ but honestly my kid has a cool name. It's just that his homeroom teach just happens to be very old fashion. We are the first family registered with my last name. We are the only family registered with my last name. We are trying to break up the homogeneous nature of this country. It's a little painful but most teachers learn to read his name. The alphabet is scientifically phonetic. If they can't read it at first they can with a little practice. They are just making fun of him bc he is white.
Sigh 😞 discrimination again
It's a small price to pay to make this place a little more integrated^^
