   What I like with some translators of #Viu and #Netflix (not #Disney, I haven't seen one yet) is they're starting to transliterate Korean names based on “Revised Romanization” or “RR”.

   * 임 = Im instead of Lim.
   * 심 = Sim instead of Shim.
   * 박 = Bak or Pak instead of Park.

     * 유 = Yu instead of Yoo.

     Some exceptions are like because it will be confusing in English:
     * 이 (I) = Yi instead of Lee or I.
     * 우 (U) = Woo instead of U or Oo.
     * 오 (O) = Oh instead of O.

     It's better in my opinion. Non-Koreans can learn in the process.

     There are also overlaps, and this is where it's important to follow RR:
     * 양 = Yang, but commonly written as Young.
     * 용 = Yong and is commonly written as Young.
     * 최 = Choe. Common choice is Choi.
     * 채 = Chae. Common choice is Choi.

     Of course, when it comes to real names, if a person have a preference, we should respect that. If we don't know their preference, then the default should be Revised Romanization, it's the official transliteration approved by the Korean government any way.
