#5  There are only about 250 Korean family names currently in use, and the three most common (Kim, Lee, and Park) account for nearly half of the population. - source

Had a Kim 1, Kim 2 and Kim 3 for KATUSAs in my unit. IIRC at one time S.Korea had a law at one time that prohibited marriage between individuals with the same family name to avoid 'genetic' issues, but it was eventually 'clarified' since nearly half the population was composed of those three cited names.

#2  Do you mean this article from yesterday, jvalentour? At midnight Rantburg rolls over to a new day and new articles, the previous day's article links and discussion threads being accessible in the archives. The articles themselves, with inline commentary, cannot be generally seen, a response to the whole R1ghth4ven fiasco, unless one contacts Mr. Pruitt directly for permission. I've had to do that several times over the years.

If you mean something else, please do explain.
