@kimminjaeismyboo
almost all Korean names follow this pattern:
monosyllabic family name then bisyllabic given name
and each syllable are given Hanja characters (Chinese characters) with meanings.
Also, I don't know in details but I've once heard before Indian given names are composed of usually two element words, so yes, Korean and Indian names are similar in that way.

@kimminjaeismyboo
a few members of BTS as an example,
진 Jin
김석진 (Kim Seokjin)
金碩珍
성 김 / 클 석 / 보배 진
(Surname Kim / "great" seok / "treasure" jin)
: "hoping that he'd become a great treasure" named by his grandfather
SUGA 슈가
민윤기 (Min Yunki)
閔玧其
가엾게 여길 민 / 귀막이 구슬 윤 / 터 기
("compassion" Min / "royal crown beads" yun / "foundation" gi)
('gi' is the generation character)
: "Live an abundant life that goes well" name by his dad
(side note: of the same 본관 with (=remotely related to) 민경훈 of Buzz; 여흥 민씨 Min Clan of Yeoheung)
V 뷔
김태형 (Kim Taehyung)
金泰亨
성 김 / 클 태 / 형통할 형
(Surname Kim / "big" tae / "to be fulfiled" hyeong)
: "everything goes well and will be greatly successful" named by his grandfather, who is a professional namist
(note: of the same 본관 with Jin; 광산 김씨 Kim Clan of Gwangsan)
(note: his given name happens to use the exact same Hanja with J.Seph of KARD)
Not all Korean celebrities have their name in Hanja available on their profile, and if that's the case, you don't know what their name means. (They might tell their fans, but it's all case-by-case)
