I have some friends who are foreigners and live in Korea. 9 out of 10 those do not have Korean name as long as most Koreans can speak their name recognisable.

Ooh ok so if you have a name that'a difficult for Koreans to pronounce you should have a Korean name?

In that case, they are more likely to give another English name,which Koreans can say easier than original one like Sam, Tom, Jen etc, to their friends rather than new Korean name.
