Character Name
Bo-ram
Bo-ram Bo-ram is unusual among Korean names in being a pure Korean-language name rather than Sino-Korean, and this linguistic distinctiveness suits a character who is herself distinctively, unambiguously Korean in cultural grounding — someone not performing a Confucian ideal but living out a native sense of what is worthwhile. A character named Bo-ram may be someone whose values are deeply practical and relational: not asking "what is virtuous?" but "what is worth doing?" The name suits protagonists who are warm, grounded, and clear-eyed about what matters.
