Kyle and Carson;
Could you call me with my right name? You keep on calling me Kim. You are calling 2 millions Koreans by calling "Kim." Y ou have never called my attention
I thought Eric is your name. Isn't it? What is Batman? This is your last name, your family name?
Bow.
So I fight crime at night, vigilante-style, dressed as a bat because it’s a symbol that instills fear in those who prey on the fear of others. Over time I became called the “Batman”. 👍🏼
Read his profile, Bow. You'll see :)
That's how we check what someone's actual name is so we can address them using their first name.
You can CRTL click on his name, and it will open a new tab with his profile.

Hi Bow,
It is a pleasure to meet you. You should not feel offended by the name the members address to you. They don't do it on purpose. I will try to be as explicit as possible to erase this feeling.
* The first aspect to consider is the name used when registering on the WA platform. Did you use Kim Ryang Hak or Kim Bow Gyeong? You can clarify the situation by putting your real name in the profile description.
* Another aspect to take into account is the names and surnames used in Western culture and Asian culture.
In Asia (as well as in my country) we use the Surname first and then the First Name. Ex: Kim Bow Gyeong
Instead, in the USA, UK, Canada, etc. the first name is used first followed by the Surname. Ex: Bow Gyeong Kim.
Can you see the difference?
The first emails received on your profile are automated. If the Surname was entered first, the program will use this name.
I hope I have clarified your controversial situation.
All the best in your online journey!
Diana.
Hi, Diana,
Pleased to speak to you.
I knew that- I have long known where they, Americans, inclusive of those who speak English. coming from.
I do not write my names, in the order they think first name first and last name last. Because Koreans do not call the way they call in the order, but instead, family name upfront followed by individual name.
I cannot put my name in such an awkward way as my family name last and my name first, because Koreans never call their name first followed by family name, because family name supercedes the rest.
Kim Bow Gyeong
I know, very well this mentality of respect for the family. As I mentioned in the previous comment, it is also used in my country.
I've just tried to show you some aspects related to your situation. WA is a Canadian platform, so this is the system used.
Everyone will call you Kim if you don't clarify this situation in your profile description, or change your username.

Ryang is my legal first name here in USA.
Hak is my legal middle name here.
But still do I call my names- Kim Ryang Hak.
