Why Do All Koreans Have the Same Last Names? (Featuring Harvard Ph.D.)
3 years ago
5
Korea seems to be dominated by 3 names, Kim, Lee, and Park. In fact, it’s estimated there were 10,689,967 individuals with the last name Kim, that's 20.6% of the population or approximately 1 in 5 Koreans.
So how did it get this way? Why do so many people in Korea have the same last name? Are they all just related somehow?
