Yup... if Korean's have names that can be written in Hanja (Chinese characters), their names can be read in Chinese. Like I said before, Koreans call Jet Li, Yi Yeon Geol, instead of his Mandarin name Li Lian Jie (is this right?), because they read his name from the Hanja, and pronounce it in Korean.

Also the Korean last name Hwang can be translated to Huang in Mandarin or Wong in Cantonese just for FYI.

No, it's possible that TAIgrr's name is made from native Korean words. These words don't have hanja for every block of Korean like the sino-korean words.

For example haneul means sky and i'm sure sky read from hanmun would be one syllable instead of two.

Probably a native Korean name/word. That's why.

k, this is getting confusing.
