  Most unfortunate. His family must be terribly upset.

  I hope he had travel insurance. It's an expensive business, repatriating mortal remains....

  Oh dear, we do seem to be going round in circles now with this discussion. Shall we just save time and say the Korean posters here are never going to find the current name acceptable and just agree to disagree?

  It does remind me of the first e-mail joke I ever read, back in 1994:
