Yoon Park has clarified his stance on the confusion over his name in light of a recent controversy about singer John Park.

The incident began when the Ministry of Interior and Safety unveiled plans to get rid of several representations on Korean documents. It starts with a comment by well-known singer John Park for changing names following the guidelines, saying: "For example, my new name would be 'Park John.'"

This called for an online discussion as to how it may have affected other celebrities, specifically Yoon Park.

In response, Yoon Park explained the situation on his Instagram account and put it into perspective in a friendly manner.

"Park is my last name, and Yoon is my first," he wrote in the post above."I also want to visit the USA. Stay strong!," he added.

The actor also posted a picture of his proof-of-residency card showing that his name is "Yoon Park."

Korean netizens found it hilarious and the comments began flooding social media.

One commented, "Ah crazy he even brought out the official documents," while others were surprised "Park" is actually this man's first name.

The event highlights the comedic aspects of a better name-fixing process in Korea as celebrities and ordinary people wrestle with what phenotypical implications proper names could have on their respective lives.
