message: According to Korean naming standards, shouldn't his name be spelled "Woo Bum-kon" (see for instance Ban Ki-moon and Cho Seung-hui)?

text: Ah, yes..right, as far as I know there is flexibility on that matter. It just should be consistent. Mumun 無文 02:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Not at all. I'll AGF; perhaps you meant that a category:Spree shooter of Korean descent would be a good idea. Well, set it up, and I'll nominate it for deletion. Hornplease 10:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a common name for the massacre? And shouldn't there be a more detailed account of it, in an article of its own? 132.205.44.134 00:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I created this article a under my previous incarnation, Marblefluss. I was drinking vodka at the time, and looking back about 25% of what I wrote is total bullshit. Someone fix this, Google is your friend.. I did not take Wikipedia seriously back then, and only due to recent events did I re-stumble upon this article. My sincere apologies go out to all I misinformed in my Smirnoff-induced haze. -- Floaterfluss  (talk) (contribs)   03:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: His girlfriends name is spelled both "Chun Mal-soon" and "Chun Mai-sun" in this article. Which one is correct?

replies: text: It's a phonetic translation, either is right. The article should be consistent though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.101.110 (talk) 19:29, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it is not possible for both to be correct. The Hangeul symbols for the Korean equivalents of "r"/"l" and "ae" are quite different.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.92.35 (talk) 08:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In this article her name is given as 전말순, so, as far as I can see, "Chun Mal-soon" should be correct. (Lord Gøn (talk) 13:20, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Death toll is stated as both 57 and 58 in different parts of the article. Which one is correct?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.69.210.124 (talk) 03:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: 58 (including Woo himself), 57 (excluding Woo). Though I'd like to know, why the Korean Wikipedia article states 62 people killed, and here it says 56. Does anyone know what's correct? (Lord Gøn (talk) 12:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: the article doesn't really discuss his motive? Did he just snap? --173.74.88.168 (talk) 17:58, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I'm aware, he never gave a reason for the rampage, either in writing or in statements to his victims.  His girlfriend's comments about his inferiority complex imply that he may just have been suicidal and angry at humanity in general. Dreadwyrm (talk) 00:21, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motive? 

message: All of the non-english sources I've read so far say that 63 died (57 died instantly, 6 others were mortally wounded, including his girlfriend). It seems disrespectful to the 6 who were mortally wounded and their families to suggest their deaths aren't valid by not including them in the death toll. 92.13.241.187 (talk) 05:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It should include both numbers, that 57 were killed in the initial attack and a further 6 would die in the aftermath from injures inflicted.  Wolfgang likes bugs (talk) 23:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shouldn't the death toll be 63 instead of 57? 

message: This article from 1982 states that the final death toll was 56, but some casualties were counted twice due to the seriously injured being dispersed to three hospitals and the scene of the incident being in four villages, giving way for discrepancies. The 2024 memorial lists 56 victims, so it seems like the most reliable death toll. I'm changing the death toll.  AgeOfPlastic (talk) 01:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
