hi hello can I get your opinion on smth? if not that's fine and I hope u have a great day but anyways I'm planning to write a weak hero fic but I'm torn between writing the characters with their korean names or the ones that people recognize them by, originally I was planning on using the english ones but I'm not so sure. ty in advance

imo its better to use their actually Korean names. if you're worried about people getting confused, provide an author's note indicating who's who. plus, if you are planning to post it on ao3 or anything, I believe the tag system there ties together both their original Korean and assigned English names, so people will be able to find it regardless.

#when in doubt go with the original #(this next bit isnt firected at u anon)#i personally hate how commonbitbis to assign western/english names to people who already have their own names in their native language #since thats a thing that happens to Real People not just characters #its weird and rooted in more than a bit of racism #and euro-/usa-centrism #anyways #thats my take here #sorry for all the typos im on mobil and ive got old man arthritis hands #and for some reason autocorrect doesnt work for me when tyoing in the tag box :^/
