Jungkook → Jung Kook – Proposing moving from Jungkook to Jung Kook

After clicking through 30 pages of Google News articles and pulling together every source from the last 3 years or so that I recognized as being reliable, sources are definitely mixed on whether they want to present the subject's name as "Jungkook" or "Jung Kook".

Reliable English-language sources using "Jung Kook":

Reliable English-language sources using "Jungkook":

Given that reliable sources are the definition of mixed and there is no clear WP:COMMONNAME evidence from the last few years when it comes to whether the name is romanized as one word, or with the two syllables separated by a space, it is likely that we should give more weight to the subject's personal preference. This also falls in line with the naming conventions for Korean names at WP:NCKO-NAME, which, failing a clear WP:COMMONNAME that is widely used in English-language sources, states: Follow personal preference or official spelling. If the person's preferred or official English name or Latin spelling is known, use that.

In this case, it is clear that the subject's personal preference that his name be romanized as Jung Kook, with the space. Evidence of this is the subject's listing at his agency, as well as all of the subject's solo albums, singles, and films being credited to "Jung Kook" (see: Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). This is also how the name appears on all of the subject's album/single covers and in all official appearances. Note that the subject does not appear have any official social media and has not in several years, so this is not an avenue we are able to pursue.

Note this would also include updating articles such as Golden (Jungkook album) and other works that were officially credited to "Jung Kook" and covered in reliable sources as such. RachelTensions (talk) 03:56, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm leaning towards oppose, as "Jungkook" is still widely used. Additionally, he has an official TikTok account: [1], where he uses the spelling "JungKook" without spacing. The stylization is already mentioned in the lead section, making it easy to spot. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 06:43, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I think the evidenced marshaled here is pretty compelling, far more than a TikTok account (which uses a capitalization that isn't the current title of this article, anyway) Red Slash 16:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
