Enter a Korean name or road address below to get the standard romanized English spelling, based on South Korea's official Revised Romanization of Korean (국어의 로마자 표기법).
Enter a Korean name above to see the romanized spelling.
There is no official rule for romanizing surnames, so real-world usage (passports, etc.) varies widely. This is just one common example — always use whichever spelling you have officially registered.
Given-name syllables are romanized as written, without reflecting sound changes across syllables (e.g. 복 + 남 stays "Boknam", not "Bongnam"), per Article 4 of the Revised Romanization of Korean. Surnames and given names are capitalized and written with a space between them.

This applies the standard sound-change rules used for Korean place names (linking, nasalization, liquidization — e.g. 종로 → Jongno, 왕십리 → Wangsimni), then reorders the parts into English address order (building number, road, district, city, province). It's a rule-based approximation and may not exactly match the official English notation on Korea's road-name address system (juso.go.kr) — please double-check there for official documents.
