Plss help me decide

[miwa]

Hey, I'm creating a story to make a webtoon, but I have a question. Should I put the names in Korean or English?
I know that many of you will say that it is better in english, and I think it is also better in english, however I want to know what people think. My webtoon is inspired by asia, and since I'm inspired by manwhas, I didn't know if people would like it more if the names are asian. Still, I prefer English as they are easier to remember.
I want to know your opinion, it would help me a lot. Thanks!

If your characters are of Korean (or fantasy land based on Korea) descent, or were born in Korea, then it would make sense for them to have Korean names.

What joanne said. Their names should match their origin/nationality.

Where does your comic take place? Korean Americans will sometimes have an Americanized nickname which they use when interacting with people in English.

Depends on where they live/are born, people from Asia (not just Korea) sometimes change their name to "fit in" (not always , and they don't need to do so), but if it's set in Korea with fully Korean people it would be weird to have someone named Margaret.
Also it depends on when does your story take place, now people all over the world give their children names from other countries
