Korean-American, or Korean?[edit]

SHouldn't he be listed as a Korean immigrant, rather than Korean-American? Because that designation suggests either he was born to at least one American parent, or is a birthright citizen. He does not fit either category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5B0:47D0:C898:855B:2F70:47:32DB (talk) 17:36, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per this article at the Library of Congress, it's fairly difficult to gain dual SK-USA citizenship prior to 2010, so American would be the correct designation per WP:ETHNICITY. — BriefEdits (talk) 06:45, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per the sources in Yeun's article, he grew up in the United States (and Canada), and first gained notability in the United States. His career has mostly been in the United States, and that is where he resides (California).[1] Per WP:ETHNICITY, his lede should just say "American". Yeun's article already mentions his birthplace, family, etc. Also, the Library of Congress article states that prior to an amendment in laws, South Koreans were forced to choose one citizenship, or potentially have their Korean citizenship revoked. "Prior to the amendment, a person was forced to choose one citizenship; failure to make a timely choice resulted in deprivation of Korean citizenship without notice." So I'm not sure about his citizenship situation now, unless someone has sources. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 03:50, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Although I'm still not entirely sure about his citizenship situation, Yeun himself has once stated that he feels like a "man with no country".[2] In regards to feeling like an outsider, especially when visiting South Korea due to his upbringing. But beyond that interview, per WP:ETHNICITY, given how Yeun grew up in the United States, and the U.S. is the country where he first gained notability and where he resides, his lede should only say "American" or maybe even "South Korean/Korean-born American". Clear Looking Glass (talk) 04:19, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The country he was born in has had an influence on him and therefore it is notable to mention the country where he was born in the lead sentence per MOS:ETHNICITY. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 01:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be than an influence, it needs to be directly related to his notability to have birth country in the lead. And if it is part of why notable that needs to be explained. In this case it is irrelevant to why he is notable so shouldn't be in the lead. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

language error[edit]

Posting here because the hidden comment says to do so before editing - it should be South Korea-born not South Korean-born E0r9c1 (talk) 13:54, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Legal name[edit]

If Steven Yeun is his legal name, I'll edit the intro. ErceÇamurOfficial (talk) 10:39, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name of this man[edit]

Is there any evidence that it's Yeun Sang-yeop? That's just his Korean name. ErceÇamurOfficial (talk) 13:09, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't claim it his birth name, just that it is his name. I have restored it in the text and added a source. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
