I thought Haeyun was the name of the doll, not the girl?

Erm... Haehyun is the girl's name. The doll/mech/"Gouken" is the "Jonryoku Kum" (or however you spell it).

I believe it was Jeonryeok.

[This Man]

Yes Jeon Ryeok Geum would be  전력 금, which sounds like a Korean name. Jonryoku Kum adds an extra syllable, and Korean names rarely have 4 syllables (though some do).

As an aside, I'm sure I read somewhere that the Korean family name was 금 which is romanised as Geum (which also means' gold') and pronounced as /geum/.

Kum would equal 굼 (pronounced like koom).

I also read somewhere that when written in Chinese, Haehyun's name means "stringed instrument".

Now that I did not know :D

Now, I'd like someone to confirm that. If true, the instrument choice would make a lot of sense.

Too add something to this latest news:

-Revelator demo confirmed for Europe, plus preorder bonuses for the digital version.

I don't think I like any of the preorder bonuses, the one from Sumeragi is OK but is a shame she didn't draw something normal or not SD.

Whats actually more find funny is that Japan effectively paid for dizzy to win and now has to pay for her again when shes out XD

[youcanwonder]

I definitely don't see it has the paid for her. I mean regardless they are paying to play the game in the arcade. They are just earning in game money (don't know what else it's used for) but they playin the game anyways..mught was well gwt some kinda perks from it.

Kum Haehyun's status as Korean has been basically confirmed thanks to this.

(source)

...And also the fact that it says "Korea" on her character profile. lol

You have to keep in mind that Korean doesn't work 1 to 1 with Japanese syllables. "Jonryoku" is as good as "Jeonryeok" is going to get in Japanese syllables (which is what's printed on the site). At any rate the "name" of the robot just means "Full-power Kum". But the name is switching the family name and given name around compared to Kum Haehyun. So, I dunno what's going on.

And, yeah, it does look like her family name should've be romanized as "Geum". Kind of pronounced "Goom" and not "Koom" but that's also likely a product of weird Japanese syllable and romanization choice on their part. It's definitely a softer "g" sound and not a "k". I'm gonna go with they screwed it up. lol

For those wondering (probably no-one), the musical instrument HaeHyun plays looks like a famous Korean instrument called a 'Gayageum' (pronounced kai-yag-um), but I've never seen it played standing up like she does.

I actually was curious about that, thank you! My first thought was that it looked like one of those Japanese zithers but that didn't seem to fit her theme.

It's basically the same instrument. A Japanese one usually has 13 strings, while the Korean one has 12. The last part "Geum" is indeed the same kanji as the Japanese koto (as well as being Kum's family name).

[Fenris]

Her character profile, eh? Oh, well, I never looked at it. Didn't even know it existed. Perhaps I should've looked at it.

[werewolfgold]

It was just posted right before your post AND it's in Japanese. So, I wouldn't worry about it.

[This Man]

Also heard that the family names 'Geum' and 'Kim' are actually the same Chinese character (Kim being a famous Korean name of course).

I can't verify it, but that's what I've been told.

It can be. Different characters can have the same pronunciation. In this case, it's not. "Kim" means "Gold" (金). But, Kum's name means "Zither" (琴).

Also, after a little digging, I found out that "Kum" is like an older way that they used to romanize 琴 or 金 from Korean, like Mount Kumgang (which does use 金). But, "Geum" is more accurate. So, it's not super wrong. It's just a little wrong. lol

[Suzaku]

Yes, and the instrument she plays to activate the puppet is a Korean zither.

Sol's DLC color looks awesome, it seems as if he jumped right out of MadWorld or Sin City.

Any particular reason as to why slayer is in the bottom right scan next to the newcomers?
