I was talking to my good friend Dodo regarding a Korean person, so I made up a name (KIM SU SLOW), and then she gave me his name and of course as with many Koreans, his name starts (or rather ends) with Kim. So that made me think, what kind of a man was this Kim dude that he has millions and millions of off springs?
From Wiki.
"Kim is the most common family name in Korea. In 1985, out of a population of between roughly 40 and 45 million in South Korea, there were approximately 8.8 million Kims — roughly 20% of the population (Storey, 35). The name is common in both modern-day North Korea and South Korea. The Chinese character used for the name (金) means "gold," and although the character is usually pronounced "geum" (금) in Korea, it is pronounced "gim" (김) when used for the family name and names of some cities, e.g., Gimhae (金海) and Gimpo (金浦).
In ancient historical records, a Xiongnu prince named Kim Iljae was mentioned. This was a man who had gone from royalty, to a slave, and then to an official in the Han court. Kim Iljae's presence within the Han court was vast and very high in rank by the time of Han Wudi's death. Kim Iljae's descendants later fled Han China and escaped into the Korean Peninsula to the Silla Kingdom, and some went even further down to establish the Gaya Confederacy."
And then the article goes into short discussion about the different Kim Clans. It is amazing how one guy with so many million sperms, have made two Kim nations.
