Un is his name, so what if I didn't call him Kim.
I have a first middle and last name.
Un is the family name.
A bit pedantic considering that is petty considering the topic. Kim Jong "UN" deserves to be called a fucking dick.
The point of my post is to point out Trump's impetuous unpredictable bombastic behavior is hypocritical considering whom he is commenting on.
We call Trump by his last name too. Trump's first name is Donald.
Uh, no. Kim is his family name. His given name is Jong Un, often hyphenated as Jong-Un. It has become customary in English to render the names of East Asian peoples except Japanese living in their name lands in in their proper traditional order of family name first, followed by given name.
However, it remains customary to render East Asian names of people residing in the west in the traditional western order of given name first, followed by family name.
