In the brief r-slurred coup attempt in South Korea, the elite troops of the local airborne brigade were woken up at night and told to rush to the National Assembly building as martial law was being declared. It was insinuated that this was because of a North Korean terrorist attack. That is a really serious issue as this has been done before killing huge numbers of people and almost working. So they show up and then get orders to arrest the opposition legislators because they're corrupt. Reminds me of that old joke about how "arresting a Pakistani prime minister for being corrupt is like arresting him for being Pakistani".
This is when everyone (including senior officers who had no warning about this) checks out and goes to get ramyun.
I hope if any illegal orders were issued by a president in my country we could do at least this well. That we don't have a bunch of f-slurs calling up Black Rifle Coffee asking what to do.

You have no idea how bad it is. With crimes they have those German "privacy rules".
Mr. Kim beat up Mr. Kim (not related) for looking at Mrs. Kim (not related) the wrong way...
Literally half the county is named Kim, Lee, or Park.

Mathematically, the number of surnames goes down over time. Mayo monkeys only adopted surnames recently, so they still have a wide variety, but the !asians SYC bvlls have had them for millenia.

In Korea (this is fricking according to my friend Mr. Kim from a fricking long time ago) they have different branches of Kims. So he was fricking really proud that he was the fricking same kind of Kim as the fricking dictators of North Korea. I never could tell when he was fricking pulling my leg but he was fricking serious enough of the fricking time that I have to consider it all as a fricking possibility. Goddammit I miss him.
Yeah I don't know off the fricking top of my head when they came in in England for commoners but it was fricking only a fricking few centuries ago. The fricking less civilized parts of Europe even later.
The fricking most civilized human being you will find is the fricking whiteoid who doesn't force his kid into excessive hagwon courses but is fricking trying to get his name into a fricking prestigious Korean family book. I'll trade my sister for that.

Iberia adopted surnames pretty early on by European standards so that's why there are so many people with the same name help that names lien Gonzalez or Martinez are patronyms, and others like the most popular/common surname, Garcia (which translates to spear), and others like Morelos (something about Moors), are that way because it was carried by soldiers and their families southwards as they migrated and populated new areas newly conquered from Reconquista and the process would keep repeating until the entire peninsula was under Christian rule and even afterwards into the Americas as the ranks of the conquistadors were disproportionately from the southern provinces and kingdoms like Andalusia and Extremedura (where Cortez was from) which also had disproportionately the same surnames.

Yeah, I don't know about the details in Europe but it's very uneven around the world. Like in the Philippines they got last names centuries ago, before half of Europe. Half of them are Spanish, half are some weird name unique to their village.
I hadn't considered that but it's probably the same there. There's a lot of saints still venerated in rural areas of the Philippines who are from Reconquista-era Spain but completely forgotten in their home country today.
Meanwhile Indonesia is right next door and there's still people there going by just one name.

Definitely see historical bongs have surnames much earlier than most continental euroids, though they were originally more common among the nobility despite later becoming to be seen as a more commoner trait.

An actual Korean can explain it better, but I think it's basically that they had a couple kings who started handing out the names Kim and Lee c. 1200s and it was really prestigious so everyone wanted to be one. Very different from nordic mayomonkey shitholes where they had no last names until a couple centuries ago, and then they started assigning them to people because they heard that's what civilized human beings do and they were trying to copy our behavior. So you get all the "Johansens", etc. Literally just "your dad was named Johan so we're going to copy sentient species by calling you Johansen".
