Actually, Handong's surname is Han, using the Chinese character in the 11th position.

[@doanlinh9525]

and luckily the Kim and Lee surname in Korean is for just one surname, unlike the Jang can be stands for 2 different surnames in Hanja, like that.

I was looking for that too

[@doanlinh9525]

Seungkwan of Seventeen, right? His surname in Chinese is 夫, it means "husband" or "driver", depend on the sentences.

[@haruharu0393]

unique means not common. so only few people have that surname. so they wont make it in the list.

[@ebiUsher]

its a top 100, of course he didn't make it into the list

[@feat.Lilyli]

I was expecting it too. Similarly to Boo Seungkwan, many times I’ve read that BTOB Yook Sungjae has a very unique last name, yet here he was at 87. I thought Seungkwan’s would be here too in the first half of the list. Just means his last name is truly uncommon.

[@jojowho4084]

boo is only common in jeju/ southern par of sokor. where seungkwan came from.

[@doanlinh9525]

if you live or studying in Confucianism’s affected countries like China, Korea, Japan, even Vietnam; it’s much better to understand our names because all of our names can be be written and read in Chinese, and you can use it and pronounce in Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Vietnamese way (Hanja in Korea, Kanji in Japan or Hán Tự in Vietnamese). Sometimes we also translate Japanese names or Korean names (through Chinese) and pronounce in Vietnamese way and the social of Korean living Vietnam very like it.

In this case, hanja (hanzi/chinese characters) is better than hangeul for write surnames. Hangeul make we hard to distinguish these surnames. Example, a lot of people (especially writers in wattpad think Wonwoo (Seventeen) and Jungkook (Bts) both have same surname (which is Jeon, in hangeul 전). But actually Wonwoo's surname is 全 (in korean read as Jeon) and Jungkook's surname is 田 (in korean read as Jeon too).

It's 2023 now and still looking for something in this video. It's still interesting until now. I've found that Miyeon G-Idle and Kyuhyun SuJu have different surnames although the pronounciation is still the same in Korea (or count as 2, not for a complicated case like Kang surname). Miyeon G-Idle share the same surname with Cao Cao, famous king of Wei in the Three Kingdom Era in China, and Kyuhyun share his surname with Zhao Yun, famous "General Tiger" of Shu in Three Kingdom

[@andrewpark5757]

Kyuhyun and Miyeon have the same surname.

[@doanlinh9525]

@@andrewpark5757 hey hey, don't be ridiculous like that. Same in pronounciation but different in meaning, ok? You are American, not "real" Korean so you don't really understand about that. Can you read Hanja perfectly? Look at their Hanja's name, man.

[@andrewpark5757]

@@doanlinh9525 I am a "real" Korean born in Korea. I suggest you take a look at their hanja names. They share the same hanja surname. Even this video shows Kyuhyun at No.27. Same surname as Miyeon.
