With us in Germany some Kim are called with first names :blush:
It used to be like that, That these then needed a 2 first names…Since otherwise one did not know…
Whether this person is male or female… For example:
Kim Sophie or Kim Torben :grin:
I do not know if it is still like this today

It’s a first name here as well. And I think the majority of them are women, but there are indeed also some men with that name.
I suppose if German or Dutch Kim would marry Korean Mr Kim, her name would change to Kim Kim. :wink:

I think it was in Touch Your Heart, Lee Dong Wook is reflecting on why people even watch Dramas/Romances and he says, and I am probably paraphrasing, Even a distant fire can warm a cold heart. That really resonated with me.

My colleague once told me

Life is too short for “sometime”…

How right she is
