Deflection

Unlike other countries, it is a characteristic of Korea that, unlike other countries, surnames, which account for less than 10% of the total gender, account for three-quarters of the total population.  In other countries, one surname rarely exceeds 1% of the population, and even if it exceeds 1%  it does not exceed 10%. However, Kim, who is Korea's representative surname, accounts for nearly 20% of the population, and the three castles of Kim Yi-bak exceed 40% of the total population. There is also a joke that "one of the steamers who throws a stone at Hanyang and gets hit by someone," and even there is a rumor in Southeast Asia that a local peddler who sees a Korean person traveling to Southeast Asia chants, "President Kim, make a deal, buy something."

There are many people who have rare surnames who are under stress because they are teased by people around them in the past and now. With the abolition of the Australian system in 2008, children's surnames can be passed down to their mother's, not their father's, and as a result, fewer Korean surnames are expected to be inherited. Lee Da-doshi, a French broadcaster naturalized to Korea, was surprised to find that there are only about 300 surnames in a country with a population of more than 50 million (19). The number of surnames present in the Principality of Liechtenstein, a small European country with a population of less than 40,000, is 2,393 as of 2010. #In comparison, Korea had only 4,179 surnames as of 2000, which is very small in diversity compared to the population. In fact, the number of surnames is very small compared to the number of Chinese surnames, which use many single (單姓) forms of surnames, not to mention Western and Japanese. This is a very interesting sight in a foreign country, which is funny or confusing, especially those who broadcast the Korean team at sports competitions such as the World Cup have the same last name and similar looks, so there is a lot of confusion about who is who.

Therefore, in Korea, people cannot be called by their last name alone. Dozens of people will react when they say "Kim!" at school or at work. It is easy to understand compared to foreign dramas and movies that say "Hey Smith! Sato!" Conversely, when people with the same last name come out in the same drama or movie, they are sometimes mistaken for family relationships.

As of 2003, there were 286 Korean surnames, excluding naturalized persons. However, as I mentioned earlier, less than half of the entire population is left except for Kim, Li, Park, Choi, and Jeong. Moreover, the types of surnames themselves are severely small. The number of surnames that are used a lot in China is 100 to 200 and Japan is about 2100, indicating how few surnames there are in Korea. The number 286 is also a separate compilation of surnames with different Chinese characters even though they have the same pronunciation, and when the surname is written only in Korean, it is only a little over 100. Vietnam is the only worse case.

The reason why there are no 500 family names in the statistics is that only the family names, which have existed since then, are included in the survey as of the time of the establishment of the Korean government. For this reason, things such as 'Johnson', who is a naturalized Korean, are not ranked in the statistics. However, if a Korean foreigner such as a Korean-Chinese or a Japanese citizen is naturalized with a Chinese character's last name, this case is treated as returning home, which is sometimes added to the statistics.

Therefore, in Korea, people with the same surname are relatively more common than in other countries, and it is difficult to distinguish people unless they are rare by their surname alone. Indeed, there is even a proverb, "Finding Kim Seo-seong in Seoul." Therefore, there are few cases in which people are called or referred to by their surname alone, except when they are followed by rank or title (first class Kim, Park, etc.). Moreover, the evil law that prohibits the creation of existing Koreans also contributes to the scarcity of surnames.

For this reason, in Korea, names without family names from other countries are not passed down as a kind of name. For this reason, in the culture of Korean language use, 'calling people only by their last names' is often treated as a very rude act.  If a person is called 'Kim' or 'Park', it is for this reason that it is regarded as a term used when calling the other person carelessly in a place where the level of culture of the members is low, such as a low-quality workplace. It is the opposite of the Western world, where only the surname implies the meaning of respect for the other person, and Japan, where the term rather as a surname is a formal expression according to social relations. Instead, as a benefit, the barrier to calling names among Koreans is lower than that of the two cultures above.

Such a rare surname is unknowingly inconvenient, but in creations, it is often seen that rare surnames are used to somehow give character personality. Unlike overseas creations, where the distribution of surnames is not much different from reality, when it comes to domestic creations, especially military dramas, where the number of characters exceeds several dozen, you can see a flood of all kinds of rare surnames, not Kim, Lee, and Park, contrary to reality.

According to the 2015 Census of Population and Housing, there were 5,582 surnames, a surge from the previous statistics, up 12 times from 430 in 2000. Since the abolition of the Australian system in 2008 and the Family Relations Register, statistics have included naturalized family names and family names without Chinese characters. As of 2015, 4,075 gwaseongs were added, and the number of family names with Chinese characters increased 5.27 times to 1,507, which is estimated to have been used by Chinese and Japanese naturalized citizens as their original surname is. In the case of the main building of the surname, there were 36,744, with Gimhae Kim accounting for 9% of the total population, and the top 10 surnames accounting for 63.9% of the total population.#

The degree has been weakened by the North's invasion of South Korea, the Korean War, and the movement of population due to industrialization, but family names, which are common in some regions in South Korea and others, are rare. They are especially noticeable when viewed by main building.

paternalism

According to Article 781 (1) of the current Civil Code of Korea, the paternity priority is chosen as 'if it is agreed to follow the mother's last name and copy at the time of marriage registration. However, if it is agreed to follow the mother's last name and copy, the father's first name and the mother's last name are chosen. The relevant civil law provision stipulates that "the child shall follow the father's last name and the mother's last name." However, an exception is made that "if parents agree to follow the mother's last name and the mother's last name when reporting marriage, they shall follow the mother's last name and the mother's last name." Exceptions were added in 2005 when the Civil Code was amended and amended. This is because the Constitutional Court made a constitutional inconsistency decision on the relevant civil law provisions in 2005. However, only two to three cases out of 1,000 reports are submitted to follow the mother's last name when reporting marriage.

Even if a couple wants to marry and pass on each surname to their children separately, their children can only follow one surname as specified at the time of marriage registration. In addition, if you want to follow the wife's last name, you must mark 'Yes' in the article of 'Did you discuss the child's last name and copy as a mock last name or copy' in the marriage registration form and submit a separate agreement.

The Legislative Improvement Committee for Inclusive Family Culture under the Ministry of Justice recommended abolishing the "Paternal Priority" based on the father's last name in May 2020, and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family also planned to switch to allow parents to consult and decide on their children's last name and nature when registering their children's birth by 2025. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice reportedly submitted an opinion to the Constitutional Court, which is hearing whether the paternity priority is unconstitutional in October 2022, to the effect that "it is not unconstitutional to discuss the sex and nature of children when reporting marriage."[26]
