A Lonely Dance

I just thought that perhaps Han Sooyoung would find peace sometimes in solitude as Yuri Di Aristel

Sooyoung-ah, my dearest writer, Happy Birthday. I hope you exists somewhere else, happy with the story you've created and alongside those you dearly cherish. Author, please know you've made the right decision.

한수영

[exilley]

한강에서 수영하는 한수영...

(Translation: Han Sooyoung swimming in the Han River)

Texted my sister right after my orv high and we started making jokes about Han Sooyoung's name and she sent me this. It's a pun. The joke is that her given name, 'sooyoung', is a homophone for the word for "swim", and her family name coincides with the namesake of the Han river.

orv hangul and hanja for names, ■■, and modifiers

here’s a compilation of names/modifiers/■■ for the main characters of orv in korean! for those curious or who would like a resource of some kind.

admittedly my korean is quite bad. i mean that in the sense that i have a lot of trouble reading and cannot speak it (i’m. learning.) but i cross checked through the namuwiki, what i could parse of the novel in korean, and someone who actually speaks it, though she hasn’t read orv. so if there are any corrections you notice please let me know.

please note that this post will contain major spoilers for orv up until the ending of the epilogue. if you have not finished the entire novel yet, close tumblr and finish orv, even if only one person watches this world.

here we go!

i lied. put your clothes back on. i’m going to talk about the korean language

A note on how Korean names work for those not familiar: there are two alphabets in Korean, hangul and hanja. Hangul is the phonetic alphabet of Korean, created to improve literacy in the 1440s. Hanja is character based, derived from Chinese. When you write something in hanja, you can always spell it out in hangul. If you’re familiar with Japanese kanji ↔ hiragana, it’s kind of like that. (한글이 더 낫습니다!! 만세!!!) Hanja isn’t widely used nowadays.

How this relates to ORV is that, when you name someone, you select hanja characters. Hanja is more specific written language than hangul, because words just sound the same sometimes. With a phonetic alphabet, like the roman alphabet that we use, you figure out the meaning from context. (ie. read/reed/rede).

For an example in Korean: (독자) dok-ja.  When you write or say 독자, without context, you wouldn’t be able to tell if it means  ‘single son’(獨dok子ja), or  ‘reader’(讀者dokja). Hence the fight between lee sookyung and kdj’s father selecting what hanja would comprise kdj’s name. Though both sound the same, they have different meanings. You can have two names spelled with the same hangul, but mean completely different things in hanja. This will impact character names!

ok now here’s the post for real

KIM DOKJA

name:

김독자(hanja: 金獨子) 'Single Son', as opposed to (讀者/독자) 'Reader'   

김/kim is the most common last name in all of korea. it means gold, but it was probably selected more because of how common it is rather than any meaning.

■■:

永遠(영원) "Eternity"

終章(마지막 챕터) "Final Chapter"

modifiers/also known as:

The Ugliest King - 가장 못생긴 왕

Demon King of Salvation - 구원의 마왕

Watcher of Light and Darkness - 빛과 어둠의 감시자

Prisoner of the Constrictive Headband  - 긴고아의 죄수

Oldest Dream - 가장 오래된 꿈

bonus:

‘idiot’ - 멍청이

‘fourth wall’ - 제4의 벽

‘nebula’ - 성운

kim dokja’s company - 김독자 컴퍼니

HAN SOOYOUNG

name:

한수영

we don’t know the hanja for hsy yet. anything i write here would be speculation, but the possible options are pretty funny. might make a post on that later

■■:

끝나지 않는 이야기 "Never Ending Story"

modifiers/also known as:

Black Flame Empress - 흑염여제(黑炎女帝)

Black Flame Demon Ruler - 흑염마황(黑炎魔皇)

Director of the False Last Act - (거짓 종막의 연출가)

Architect of the False Last Act - (거짓 종막의 설계자)

bonus:

i thinks this is somewhat common knowledge within the orv community now, but when you type in korean on an english keyboard, the placement of letters doesn’t correspond to the same sound you would make in english, but instead based on korean standard use.

so when you type out tls123, you wouldn’t get ㅌㄹㅅ123, but you get 신123(’god123’)

han sooyoung’s party - 한수영 파티

YOO JOONGHYUK

name

유중혁(hanja: 劉衆赫)

yoo/유/劉/‘kill’

joong/중/衆/‘crowd (of people)

thanks for re(de/ad/ed)ing! i’m interested in doing the rest of the characters too but i figured these three would be the heaviest hitters. please feel free to add on anything else, i’m also interested!
