ok so. "choi" is choi han's surname, yes? when we learn about his family, they are the choi family, yes?

but the boah universe works on firstname lastname rules, not lastname firstname. i presume. (is it lastname firstname in korean...?)

but all the characters refer to choi han as choi han in full always.

Do they assume his first name is Choi and his last name is Han because of reversed naming order?

Do they think "Choi Han" is just One Name because none of them speak korean? Do they believe he just doesn't have a surname at all?

I mean option 2 seems pretty likely when you consider his backstory of "villagers found him living like an animal in the forest" like you wouldn't necessarily assume a guy like that has a surname when the villagers had to get him citizenship papers

but then again. hm.
