In order to prevent an edit war over Hong Yun Sung's name, I have decided to explain the situation to those unfamiliar with why it is written in this way. In Asian names, the family name is one syllable and comes at the beginning of the name. Thus, his surname is actually Hong. In Korea, his given name, or the name by which he is called, is more often than not two syllables--in this case, Yunsung. However, it is only listed as a single word when referring exclusively to his given name, because when referring to his full name, each syllable is written as a separate word when romanized. This is done to match the fact that Korean names are generally written using three characters--one for each syllable. ''Soul Calibur II'' was originally coded such that his name was actually written properly as Hong Yun Sung, but the English translators remembered the previous incident with [[Talk:Seung Mi Na (Soul Calibur)|Seung Mi Na]] and eventually changed most instances of "Hong Yun Sung" in ''Soul Calibur II'' to prevent confusion, mostly among Americans. However, you can still see a trace of its original state in the credits to Weapon Master Mode. It is asked that when you see his full name written as Hong Yun Sung, you leave it as such; and if you ever see it combined to simply Hong Yunsung, that you restore it to its original state. Only if his given name is written on its own will he be referred to as Yunsung, as it should be. Thank you for your cooperation. |

Hong Yun Sung
In order to prevent an edit war over Hong Yun Sung's name, I have decided to explain the situation to those unfamiliar with why it is written in this way. In Asian names, the family name is one syllable and comes at the beginning of the name. Thus, his surname is actually Hong. In Korea, his given name, or the name by which he is called, is more often than not two syllables--in this case, Yunsung. However, it is only listed as a single word when referring exclusively to his given name, because when referring to his full name, each syllable is written as a separate word when romanized. This is done to match the fact that Korean names are generally written using three characters--one for each syllable. Soul Calibur II was originally coded such that his name was actually written properly as Hong Yun Sung, but the English translators remembered the previous incident with Seung Mi Na and eventually changed most instances of "Hong Yun Sung" in Soul Calibur II to prevent confusion, mostly among Americans. However, you can still see a trace of its original state in the credits to Weapon Master Mode. It is asked that when you see his full name written as Hong Yun Sung, you leave it as such; and if you ever see it combined to simply Hong Yunsung, that you restore it to its original state. Only if his given name is written on its own will he be referred to as Yunsung, as it should be. Thank you for your cooperation.
