===Name order=== [[File:Ban Ki-Moon Davos 2011.jpg|thumb|[[Ban Ki-moon]] in [[Davos]], [[Switzerland]] β the usual presentation of Korean names in English, as shown here, is to put the surname first (Ban is the surname)]] In English-language publications, including newspapers, Korean names are usually written in the original order, with the surname first and the given name last. However, Koreans living and working in Western countries usually adopt the Western order, with the given name first and the surname last. The usual presentation of Korean names in English is similar to those of [[Chinese name]]s and differs from those of [[Japanese name]]s, which, in English publications, are usually written in a reversed order with the surname last.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Power |first=John |date=June 2008 |title=Japanese names |url=http://www.theindexer.org/files/26-2/26-2-cp4_002.pdf |url-status=dead |journal=The Indexer |volume=26 |issue=2 |pages=2β8 |doi=10.3828/indexer.2008.29 |issn=0019-4131 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101130073413/http://theindexer.org/files/26-2/26-2-cp4_002.pdf |archive-date=2010-11-30}}</ref>
