Can someone explain what does "Choi Kang-Gongu" means and why it is such an embarassing name?


I got you, fam.


So, the reason why "Choi Kang-Gongu" is an embarrassing writer name from pro writer Choi Eun-suk is because of what it means. Basically, it's a very chuuni author name.

Let's break down the name "Choi Kang-Gongju" and provide a more detailed translation:

  1. Choi (최): This is a Korean surname, pronounced as "Chwe" in North Korea and "Choi" in South Korea. The exact meaning can vary depending on the specific characters used to write it, but one common origin is the Chinese character 崔, which can mean "high" or "lofty" in terms of elevation or status.
  2. Kang (강): This part of the name can have different meanings depending on the context. It could refer to a river, as "강" means river in Korean. Alternatively, it could be interpreted as "strong" or "powerful."
  3. Gongju (공주): This translates directly to "princess" in English. In Korean culture, "공주" (gongju) refers to a female member of royalty, typically a daughter of a king or a queen.

So, when put together, "Choi Kang-Gongju" can be understood as "Princess Choi Kang" in English. The name suggests a female character of noble or high status with the surname Choi and possibly associated with strength or a river-related symbolism.


Or to put it in a different way, "Choi Kang-Gongu" basically translates to "Strong Princess Choi" or "Great Strong Princess" which is the literal translation.


To put it in an English language context, imagine if someone had the author name "Maximillian Hercules Rex" or "Maximillian Hercules Prince". It would be a pretty embarrassing author name. That's why "Choi Kang-Gongju" is considered to be a very embarrassing author name. Does this answer your question?
