Seon (Korean name) → Sun (Korean name) – Proposing moving to "Sun (Korean name)" per the wording in the article itself stating that "Sun" is the more common romanization of the surname:
"In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, it was found that 60.7% of people with this surname spelled it in Latin letters as Sun in their passports, while another 39.2% spelled it as Seon.[1]"
For the syllable in a given name, Wikipedia has 10 name articles that romanize the syllable as "Sun" in their article titles, and 4 name articles that romanize it as "Seon".
