Min-jun (Korean pronunciation: [min.d͡ʑun]), also spelled Min-joon, is a Korean masculine given name. It became the most popular name for baby boys in South Korea in 2004, and has held that position in most years since then. In 2008, a total of 2,641 baby boys were given this name.[1] It was again most popular name for baby boys in South Korea in 2009,[2] 2011,[3] 2013,[4] and 2015. One report attributed its ongoing popularity to characters named Min-jun in South Korean television drama series, in particular the 2013–2014 series My Love from the Star, where Kim Soo-hyun played a character named Do Min-jun.[5] In addition, in 2010 it was also the most popular new name for adult men changing their names: there were 552 men who changed their names to Min-jun, especially from names which they felt were too old-fashioned.[6]
