Dr. Mark Peterson discusses the relative frequency of common Korean family names
&t=604sWhy didn't all Korean Slaves take the name Kim?
Dr. Peterson discusses common myths about Korean names, the frequency of those names in historical context, the connection between last names and class, based upon his historical research and census analysis.
His presentation is in Korean but there are English subs, and the visual aids are in English. Anyone who has an interest in Korea or visiting there should take a look. I learned a lot from this straightforward factual presentation.
