Character Name
Seon-woo
Seon-woo Seon-woo (善宇, goodness of the universe) names a character with a quality of moral spaciousness that is almost inhuman in its scope — someone whose goodness is not the constrained, rule-following goodness of propriety but the expansive, natural goodness that Mencius described as the original nature of humanity before it is distorted by circumstance. The immortal-universe reading (仙宇) gives the name a transcendent dimension: someone who seems to operate from a level above ordinary moral calculation, whose goodness is as natural and as vast as the sky itself.
