Moved to Yoo Seong-min edit

I've copied below the discussion which led me to move the page from Yoo Seung-min to Yoo Seong-min:

Hey, just saw your edit here [1], thanks—do you have any idea why news sources keep referring to him as Yoo Seong-min? I had to check I wasn't transcribing it incorrectly, but it turns out the JoongAng Ilbo, Hankyoreh, and the Korea Times all do it. But obviously he's 유승민 and not 유성민, so I'm not sure why he keeps coming up as "Seong". I set up a redirect anyway. —Nizolan (talk) 04:45, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

@Nizolan: Hi, I also thank for your work on the South Korean legislative election, 2016. I've checked his official blog [2] and found out that his romanized name was actually "Yoo Seong-min". Koreans usually do not follow fixed rules when romanizing their name. So I think 'Yoo Seung-min' article should be renamed. If you are interested in romanization system of Korean and don't have problem with reading Korean, you can visit here. [3] 15:14, 17 April 2016 (KST)

"Yoo Seong-min" appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME, and his own preference, despite the oddness of the Romanization. Also pinging Ludditemind as article creator. —Nizolan (talk) 06:31, 17 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
