I am not sure if it is appropriate to consider her name as Korean, with Korean word order

[edit]

Being born in Germany, the official name on her birth certificate and passport is (I am fairly certain) "Clara-Jumi Kang", in that order (and certainly not anything in Hangul script).

Asian word order is only relevant for people born in Asian countries, and in particular if they are not commonly known outside of their country by their name in Western word order; Clara-Jumi Kang is known everywhere as "Clara-Jumi Kang", never as "Kang Clara-Jumi".

Even in Korean, she is not called "강주미" ("Kang Ju-mi"), but rather "클라라 주미 강" ("Clara Jumi Kang"). Matthew Vaughan (talk) 04:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
