I like these guys who take common American names.
Just about everyone in South Korea is surnamed Park (Pak) or Lee (Yi).
Okay, that's an exaggeration. But not by much.
But the "Jason" is a nice American touch.
Back in the Dark Ages, when we were in college, I worked with and went to college with a Korean guy who went by Jon Wong, IIRC. "Wong" was pretty close to the way he said it, but the "Jon" was an anglicized version of the way he pronounced it. Good guy, hard worker, and probably Chief Engineer somewhere by now.
He was a former ROK soldier too, but he'd served in one of the units that worked closely with the US forces, which he said was a lot less stressful than a regular ROK Army unit. Their NCOs rarely smacked them during inspections, for example.
