Jeong = Jung = 정. Jeung - Never seen this spelling.
Seong = Sung = 성. Seung = 승

Ahhh thanks for clarifying! I remember what confused me, now…
I read the “박” as “팍” because it’s stylized so much

The reason I asked was that because I have seen the names spelt differently in dramas. Depending on who is doing work on English, it has been PARK, PAK, BAK,SEUNG, SUNG, JEONG, JUNG, JONG etc. When subtitlers work, they normally work based on English so whatever name is there is going to get transliterated whether it is PARK or BAK.

You are right. For now, I am sticking with my usual way of spelling “Han Mi-So”. Then even if I write “Mi-So” it stands out as a name. Maybe if there was way of tagging the name in VIKI…something like Name then viewer will know it is name regardless of how we are spelling it.

Thanks to that really nice soul in Wikipedia who randomly suggested someone back in 2017 to use IPA to transliterate from one script to another and that is where it clicked me, I needed to use IPA in order to correctly transliterate.
Listing the Wikipedia references I used in doing my tiny part of research (backtracking was difficult, so I missed some of the sources)

Below is my deduction of the research I did, it is always prone to errors since some Korean sounds don’t exist in Hindi. I’ll really appreciate it if someone also helps in expansion of this “theory”.
Of course, to take these screenshots, I just did some inspection in original Wikipedia pages
कोरियाई ध्वनियाँ जिनका अस्तित्व हिन्दी में नहीं है:-
ㅈ ㅅ ㅕ ㄹ ㅓ ㅡ
हिन्दी ध्वनियाँ जिनका अस्तित्व कोरियाई में नहीं है (मतलब – ट्रांसलिटिरेट करने के लिए इनका इस्तेमाल करना गलत होगा):-
घ, ट, ठ, ड, ढ, ण, ध, भ, ष, क़, ख़, ग़, ज़, झ़, ड़, फ़, ढ़, ऋ, ऍ, ङ, ञ, क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र
I really enjoyed doing this research! Most of my previous assumptions were correct, some were wrong, yet I am happy I was able to correct myself without having made mistakes a lot.
As for using hyphen between names, I am going to remove the hyphen in my future projects because hyphen plays a really significant role in Hindi punctuation. I don’t want viewers to complain about or pick up incorrect punctuation. मैं वैसे भी नाम इस तरह लिखती हूँ – रूबी, रिया, मीना; शायद इससे दर्शकों को कोई दिक्कत न हो।
