I am curious why. Mongols, Manchus, and other Norther Chinese who lives at the same altitude as Koreans do not eat much rice. Instead various wheat products like noodles, manto, and baked cakes are thier main diet. So why Koreans have this rice eating culture like Southern Chinese?

No idea, sorry. Does anyone know what the name Soo Jin means??

Soo Jin means "wonderfully large buttocks"

Joon means "monkey who loves sex"

sorry, TA is not a korean last name. i don't think it's japanese either. it's most likely chinese if you say you're viet.

dont always trust the english translations. knowing the actual character is what matters.

i know someone, whos last name is "jair". sounds nothing like Chinese, but it is actually more "jeh" or something. i cant actually remember because i wasnt paying attention even though i asked lol. anyway, she is 100% Chinese from HK.

yes, jair. am i the only one who finds that odd? i mean common ones like Chan, Wong, Li...when have you heard Jair!?

Neither Da or Ta are Korean, so I don't know you're talking about. Dae or Tae are, but I doubt Ta or Da are pronounced like that.
