@wth:
Those are all shortened versions of traditional girl names in the West; Sam = Samantha, Alex = Alexis, Chris = Christina. You didn't know this?
Like a lot of Americans, I find Eugene to be an odd name for a girl, especially since a lot of TV, movies, and radio programs over here traditionally use it for the roles of weak, socially inept, nerdy men. I get that it's close to Yu-Jin in phonetic terms, but it's something of a shock to expect to see a male loser and then be faced with a stunningly beautiful woman. From my cultural standpoint, ethnocentric though it may be, the first thought that comes to my head is, "Who would hate her that much, to saddle her with THAT name?" I'm just saying this is how it strikes me. If it works for her in her homeland, more power to her. Just be aware that it could hamper expansion into certain Western markets. And yes, that is a relevant point, since Eugene is the woman's stage name, something chosen specifically to make her stand out in show biz.

She used "Eugene" because of S.E.S. She belonged to SES when she started as a singer in 1997. S (Sea or Bada), E (Eugene), S (Shoo). Also, she grew up in Guam, however, her English name at that time was Gloria. I knew girls with the name "Eugene", so what's the problem with that? Morever, she's getting married to her love interest in Seeking Love/Creating Destiny Ki Tae-Young in July. They really look good together & have been together for over a year. Best wishes & congratulations to them! :)

kok ada yg brantem ya! aduh2 ngocol perut bgt. but anyways eugene u`re older than I thought!
it surprised me since in bread, love and dreams u were matched with ma jun (don`t know exactly his name) that older than u (1987 Vs 1981) you are as old as my brother, even know my brother has got married and has two sons around..... your face is really identical with pain.... I think there`s no role match you much except for antagonist role..... ha...ha... just kidding..... keep up! it would be a honor to see your face again in another movie!!!!

WTH?? what's wrong with this Oscar guy? from where i lived, most of 'Eugene' ARE girls.. Thank god Oscar didn't criticize my U-know.. it's pretty common for Korean to use an ENGLISH name which sounds exactly like their real name..

Who names a girl "Sam"?
Who names a girl "Alex"?
Who names a girl "Chris"?
Who cares if her name is Eugene! Sounds better for a girl than a guy. Sounds tough. Her Korean name is Yoo-Jin so it must've been close to Eugene that's why she had it as Eugene in English?! Plus, she grew up in Australia!

Many folks have stage names. Her character and talent defines her better than a name. ROCK ON!!! Never mind the negativity.

The only reason she has Eugene as her name is because it sounds like yu-jin if you listen to it differently you'll understand. i think she is really pretty and that she plays quite alot of characters i like. I do want to see her act with Lee min ki again. they go so well together..

What kind of a name is Eugene for a girl? In her blind wanting for an English name, she will sacrifice her gender? What a crock. What's wrong with Kin Yu-Jin? Be proud of who you are and where you come from.
