Lotte's 손아섭 appears to have been called 손광민 in 2008. Is this correct?

If so, is his name still transliterated as "Son Gwang-min" or do I need to work out a different English name?

His KBO page is here.

You're going to haveto change the name. Perhaps he was so new last year they just put the wrong name in there. Koreans are funny like that, they just don't care, especially with stats.

Not your mistake, theirs.

Son Asub Asub Son, the best treanslation I can find. Royster must like him cause he's got him in the meat of the lineup.

westbay....that's the same guy. he just changed his name because someone told him it would make him a better player.

So i guess in Konglish, his name is now: Son Ah-seop


I've been swamped at work...I really want to help you out with the database since it would be great to have stats and names romanized etc. I will see what I can do in the next few weeks.
