| Instead of using the original Korean name, why are they listed using the English version? I thought MAL has a policy about using original names vs localized names? It's so weird seeing english names instead of Sieun, Juntae, Humin, Baekjin, etc. It's like seeing Kudou Shinichi listed as Kudou Jimmy. |

| Seems like MAL's staff doesn't care. Or mb not enough hands to correct DB, idk. I've tried to submit original names once, but it's been a month (if not more) and nothing's changed. Not even sure if they've seen those requests, since I didn't even get a "no thanks" message. |

MegamiRem said: Those are not from manwhas thou. What's the difference? Besides the country of origin that is. add: BTW, there is Lookism. A web-manhwa from the same Naver Webtoon. It's official english version on Webtoon also has localized names. But somehow in MAL's db all characters have their original Korean names. Why is that? Weak Hero is also a Korean manhwa from Webtoon. So what's the difference? |
