c815 Hangul syllable JEONG

His first name is Seung-jun:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seung-jun
- it seems that the meaning depends on how it's written in hanja.

That would be a misinterpretation of how ideographic writing systems are used to render names. Certainly the basic meaning of the hanja influences those chosen, but there are far more words and names in most languages than can be represented by unique ideographs. Words whose meaning is known may be represented by compound ideographs based on the meaning (even if a simple ideograph exists a compound may be used for "srtistic" reasons), a euphemism or something more like a crossword clue, but often it is easier to use homophones unrelated to the meaning. When it comes to a name which does not have a commonly known meaning (and sometimes even it it does), that provides a plethora of ways to express it. Few will actually have any real bearing on the meaning of a name.

Korean names are in their own language, and since they do not use western names they do not have translations for Western names, like the Name Elizabeth to Isabel in Spanish.
How ever, some Korean Vocabulary Words used as Nmaes, can be translated in to their English Definition (Yong, in Korean means courage, so the English Equivilent of Yong is Courage)

The former is not what he was asking. Isabel for one thing is not the Spanish language translation of English Elizabeth, they're just the most common forms in different regions and different times of the Hebrew name Elisheba, rendered in the Septuagint as Eleisabeth and in the NT as Elisabet (though recorded in Greek script these latter two probably represent Hebrew folk etymology by Jews who no longer spoke Hebrew as a first language and were more familiar with the Shabath, later Shabat "Sabbath/rest", than with Sheba, or Sheva "oath"). An English "translation" would have been Godwǽr, but proper names are not usually "translated", merely rendered in a more familiar form if there is one. Thus the OT Hebrew Elisheba was not translated into Greek in the Septuagint, but simply rendered into the contemporary form more familiar to the Greek-speaking Jews who were to read it. The common form in England as well as Spain was Isabel, until new English translations of the bible (Alfred the Great had sponsored the first centuries earlier and translated some books himself) popularized the Elizabeth form considered the best Roman alphabet representation of the form in the Septuagint (Z for s representing the standard English pronunciation of medial s — compare the difference between house and housed).
Just as many "English" names have no "translation" as they are not originally English, so many Korean names may not have been originally Korean, and resist attempts at "translation".
