Un, Putin and now Iran

[AFTT47]

Uh, btw, Kim Jung Un's family name is "Kim", not "Un".

I know that, how is that different than saying Vlad when talking about Putin?

For starters, it makes you look like a dumb-ass but of course if you don't care about that...

Secondly, "Un" by itself isn't even a name at all, not even in the sense that "Vlad" is a shortened version of Vladimir. Korean given names are two-part and are never shortened.

Maybe it looks particularly stupid to me because I've lived in South Korea and know that a Korean would never refer to someone by part of their given name.
