Sung-ki
Seong-gi or Sung-ki is a Korean masculine given name. The meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the name. There are 27 hanja with the reading "seong" and 68 hanja with the reading "ki" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be used in given names. It was the ninth-most-popular name for newborn boys in 1940, according to South Korean government data. The name is not commonly given to babies with the family name Nam, as the resulting name "Nam Sung-ki" (남성기) is a homograph and homophone of the Korean word for penis. The 2005 Seoul Broadcasting System television series '' Hello My Teacher'' was criticised for its inclusion of a character with the gag name Nam Sung-ki, for this reason; some commentators believed this penis joke was inappropriate for television. People with this name include: * Choi Buk (fl. 1755–1785), courtesy name Seong-gi, Joseon Dynasty painter * Ahn Sung-ki (born 1952), South Korean actor * Cho S ...

Gag Name
A gag name is a pseudonym intended to be humorous through its similarity to both a real name and a term or phrase that is funny, strange, or vulgar. The source of humor stems from the double meaning behind the phrase, although use of the name without prior knowledge of the joke could also be funny. Examples of the use of gag names occur in works of fiction in which there is a roll call, a listing of names, or a prank call. Some names that would be considered gag names have been adopted as stage names by performers, often in the adult entertainment industry. Examples People Occasionally, real people with a name that could be interpreted as a funny or vulgar phrase are subject to mockery or parody. For example, Hu Jintao, former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, whose surname is pronounced like "who", and former Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, whose surname is pronounced like "when", have occasionally been the topic of humor similar to the "Who's on First?" sketch.

Life His childhood remains unknown, as well as the social status of his family. The ''Grove'' says 'floruit c. 1755–85'.

He may have died in Seoul, but the year remains unrecorded. He was known as a skilled landscape painter, but also drew portraits, flowers and animals. Legend tells of a powerful aristocrat that forced him to draw, but Choe refused to do so and as a result had one eye pierced, leading to th ...
