Please keep the names as they were and use honorifics. It's a Korean novel and changing these things completely changes the tone of the story and the way the characters relate to each other.

Use their original name please, and keep the hyung, ahjussi and others

Keeping the original names and honorifics is much easier for both new and old readers when the fanbase is as prolific and already established as ORV’s is. And while it is a story with many universal themes, it is also much richer by keeping the culture it originates from.

please, please, please. hear what us fans saying, use the honorifics such as "hyung, ahjussi" etc bc they're very specific to be westernized. and give back the original name such as kim dokja, yoo joonghyuk not the other way around. we aint gonna buying if you didnt change that!

If you choose to stick with localized names like "Dokja Kim" and "Joonghyuk Yoo", or even worse, "Jeonghyeok Yu", you'll lose so many buyers. The ORV fandom will hate you and you will lose so many sales. Read the fan-translation. That's how it's supposed to go.

There is no way I'm buying a novel version that says "Joonghyuk Yoo". There is no way I'm buying a novel that makes Gilyeong call Kim Dokja by his name. That's so stupid. Stop trying to localize the novel for the western audience, you're supposed to appeal to the ORV FANDOM and plus, everyone knows korean lingo??? Stop trying to get brownie points with the english readers THEY'LL BE FINE
