For those of you who are familiar with Korean culture, why are there as many characters named Kim? It is crazy, it's like three quarters of them have the same surname.
Why is that?
THAT common? I mean, it feels like when they say "Kim" they are saying "you, the one there".
I feel like every single korean comic has at least two characters with that name, they aren't even trying to pretend it is not like that so whe don't get confused.
Has it some kind of deep meaning in that culture?
It’s similar to Smith or Clark or Johnson in the US or England. It’s just a very common last name.
Look up most common Korean surnames on wikipedia, and you'll see that Kim is the #1 most common surname in S.K. with almost 10 million people with that surname (and that's data from 2000, so the number is probably even higher now)
Kim is the most common name in Korea because in the old days only nobility and royalty had surnames, and later they started giving loyal commoners their last name so they became part of big Kim, Lee, Park, etc. clans. Plus people later started buying rights to powerful-sounding last names. So today people are descended from these big clans with the same surname.
Thank you so much! But they should have thought about it twice, it's as if they were all cousins XD
Yeah, idk. They probably wanted people to think they were cousins with the upper class, right? Obviously they didn’t know what it would look like today
I have not seen anybody complaining about it, so maybe I am the only one, but lately the images of the site stop loading for some hours. I cannot see the covers, the comics or people's avatars. The problem seems to get fixed within hours, only to happen again on the next day.
Anybody else suffering like me?
same to me, i thought i was the only one because nobody said anything
that's a common occurrence here, try using vpn or download an app with vpn because that what others do with this same problem
It had worked perfectly for years, so It was my problem after all? Σ( ￣□￣||)
it maybe wifi network problem, some say it work again after switching to mobile data.
I am currently using data because of holidays ^_^u
I will need to try to fix it once I am home.
Thanks!
