Classification: Query
Surnames: han
yes koreans are called 'han gook in'
and yes chinese are also called the 'hans'
but they are different if you look at the chinese
characters...(unfortunatly, i'm not sure if your computer
will recognize chinese :)
the korean han's did not originate from china,
it is pretty sure that the han's descend from the kings of the
ancient tribal kingdoms(?) of the penninsula, called
ma-han(thus the name 'han')
we are completely different from the chinese 'han's.
i'm korean-american(full name yuna christine han)
and the 34th descendent of the chung-ju moon-ik-kong
han's, so i think my information on my family history
is pretty accurate..
contact for more info :)
