Talk:Hwoarang

message: Im not sure if this has been addressed before, but could we make mention that he has, by and large, adopted the real-world nickname Bob, amongst the tekken community. Although this is not official character information, the fact that a fan community, due to difficulty of spelling and pronunciation, has almost universally re-christned a character, is both note able and encyclopedic.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.130.104.135 (talk) 12:21, August 29, 2007 (UTC) 
:Unless you can find a magazine/website article that states this, no.  The definition of "notable" is that the information provided can be attributed to a credible source.  The fan community alone does not fit the bill.  King Zeal 12:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a long-time Tekken player, and I've never a) had trouble pronouncing Hwoarang's name (they say it out loud in the game, after all) and b) never heard anyone else call him "Bob."  That's... a very strange request.  Agreeing wholeheartedly with King Zeal here - it's not official and not widespread enough to actually be attributed.  Forget it. 70.234.1.188 16:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bob 

message: How is his name pronounced in the game? Besides the narrator saying it. When he was speaking to Baek, I didn't hear it. Is it pronounced differently in Korean, and if so how?
:His name IS Korean, so however it's spoken in Korean is the proper way to speak it.  However, the romanized wording of his name is actually a bit of a misnomer.  The actual spelling of his name should be something along the lines of "Hwa Long".  However, he announcer in Tekken 5 pronounces it in a manner similar to saying "Wha-Rung", so that's currently Namco's "official" pronounciation for the name. King Zeal 13:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually both are wrong, the best one that namco has come up with was the one in Tekken 3.  In Tekken Tag, the R was too strong.  The best estimation of how it would sound that I can describe in writing would be the same vowel as in "hot" for both hwa and rang. Then, not so strong on the h, and for the R something between L and R, but almost like D.Bethereds 14:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, his style, as seen in Teken Tag, is basic Tae Kwon Do, almost Americanized, possibly ITF. I studied the art for quite a while and is the whole reason I started playing the game. The moves were identical to what I had learned. The are has many different variations, but it is obvious that it is definitely Tae Kwon Do.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.207.153.165 (talk) 07:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Name Pronounciation

message: I removed the section where it said someone must be able to perform Hwa Rang to achieve first dan. That is no longer usually required. You must perform Poomsae Goryeo to achieve first dan in WTF, so I tried to fix it. Thanks.--Kim Kusanagi 19:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hwa rang correction... 

message: I added a reference to Jung Goo Lee as Hwoarang's VA for T4. However, IMDb says Lee's roles were "Additional Voices (voice)". Even though Jung Goo Lee appears to be the only Korean person in the cast, this still isn't reasonably watertight evidence. It would be better if someone could find a reputable source that says that Jung Goo Lee provided Hwoarang's voice in T4.
The article also lacks Hwoarang's T4 English VA and his T5 VA. IMDb's Tekken 5 cast list has at least three Koreans on it. --Darren Lee 18:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Hwoarangt5dr.jpg

message: The character Hwang from the Soul series of games shares many similarities with Hwoarang. He is Korean, often dresses the same, has the same self-righteous attitude and even shares many of the same moves. His story-line is remarkably similar to that of the Hwarang of which Hwoarang gets his name. The game has shared some characters and is made by the same company so I doubt that the relationship is coincidental as Namco is known for it's "Easter Eggs" and such. I am not a great researcher, but I am sure that this theory could be proven, and if so, would be interesting information on both the Hwoarang page and the Hwang page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.207.153.165 (talk) 08:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
