Name (protocol)

[edit]

Why is her family name not given first? She is Korean. Kdammers (talk) 18:23, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is how she calls herself. Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:00, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do we have any evidence for that? In Korea, in Korean, she goes by Kim Yuna. English-language sources in Korea (e.g., https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2022/10/23/entertainment/kpop/Korea-Kim-Yuna-Figure-Skater/20221023142015390.html) also go with Kim Yuna. American sources are mixed, with Yuna Kim more common.Kdammers (talk) 04:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
