Seo Moon-tak → Seo Moon Tak – Seo Moon is a 2-word Korean surname. Timmyshin (talk) 04:39, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This looks like a BLP with no sources (the reference is dead, the purported official site in Japanese is dead). Given that this is a stage name and there are no sources, what are our grounds for talking about the composition of the "2-word surname"? And is this person notable?

 * (Just asking. I've located 서문탁 and I'm adding it to the article now. For the time being, support Seomoon Tak per the orthography here. Dekimasu よ! 05:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC))


 *  Weak oppose - That could make the naming more confusing to average readers who know nothing about name ordering of Korean people. What about names, like Park Geun-hye? Also, per WP:NC-KO, "If there is no personal preference, and no established English spelling, hyphenate the syllables, with only the first syllable capitalized." --George Ho (talk) 07:03, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The official website uses "Seomoon Tak", but independent sources use Seo Moon Tak. I don't have preference on which style because I'm not familiar with her or the way Koreans are named in English. I know that Korean surname goes first before two more characters. --George Ho (talk) 07:10, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Her name is established in English sources, but I'm neutral for now. --George Ho (talk) 07:12, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * IIRC, Hanja authorized to use on name (by Supreme Court of S. Korea) states Seomoon is also a surname. I'd support Seomoon Tak. (George Ho: Korean surnames generally has one caracters, but as always, there is exception, such as Jegal, Seomoon and so on.) &mdash; Revi 15:32, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Support Seomoon Tak. We don't need to di vide ev er y syl la ble of a name with spa ces. —  AjaxSmack   01:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Support Seomoon Tak. The two-syllable family name Seomoon has to be used like Hwangbo Kwan, Jaegal Sung-yeol, Namkoong Won, Sunwoo Hwi. Sawol (talk) 08:36, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
