Re: Should I have an English name?

Chee-hee? I don't quite know how you'd pronounce it, but I don't think it's the type of name that would be that difficult if you were told once.
However, if you'd feel more comfortable using an English then go for it, but it's also perfectly valid to want to keep your name and I don't think you should HAVE to change your name just because you're in an industry where you're interacting with a lot of people, and also like you said guests will be from all over the world, so while your Korean name may not be completely intuitive to English guests, an English name might trip up Japanese guests, or Spanish guests, you can't please everyone.
