Pls cmiiw, my Korean knowledge is very limited. But although in chap 4 there's a note saying that Haebeom is a sea lion in Korean, Haebeom is not exactly means sea lion. However, every Korean name has a meaning drawn from their hanja (chinese character), like when Sung Ho said his name 성(Sung) means star. 해(Hae) has a meaning of sea, whilst 범(Beom) is tiger. So, Haebeom actually means Sea Tiger. But, I think it's the closest meaning to sea lion and that's probably why his mom named him Haebeom. And fun fact, there's a Busan mascot called Haebeomie too, but it's a killer whale. I also think that Haebeom's name got to do with the title too, bc Hae could also mean 'sun', and 해 character is on the Korean title too.
