It's so nice to see the appreciation for bob -- Dangerous-Boy 06:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Hey, if he's voiced by a Korean VA in T5, does he speak Korean there? 0_o Please answer, I'm extremely confused at this.
I think he is shallow and pedantic...
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)
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?
The pronunciation "Wha-Rung" is about right. Where he is getting his name is actually from the martial art Hwa Rang Do... not the same as Tae Kwon Do. The Hwarang Corps started as a formalized military in 570 A.D. in Korea with warriors being developed from childhood. Hwa means flowering which was a symbol of enlightenment. Rang means young man or noble. Do means disciples or followers. (They list Tae Kwon Do being Hwoarang's art, but when you play the character, he gets chastised when losing to some masters for NOT practicing Tae Kwon Do. His art seems to be Hwa Rang Do, but maybe there were some licensing issues there.)
His name is pronounced "Who wrong." Ya know, like "Who rung the doorbell?"
It's pronounced "H-wow-rang". Ryu-chan ( Talk | Contributions) 17:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm also confused by the many different pronunciations of Hwoarang's name in the Tekken games. Which is the more accurate translation? Why do they pronounce it differently? Hok0519 6:28 October 18, 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hok0519 ( talk • contribs) 22:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
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)
Look, many of you may take it as common sense that Hwoarang isn't a typical Korean name, but there are a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise know that. I think it's important to point it out somewhere. Bethereds 17:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Don't any of you find it slightly odd that he's one of the few characters who has no last name?
I think you're reading way too much into Hwoarang's name, from which I was in the understanding it was just his "gangster" name and not even his real name since he is a "gang leader." You can't use other wikipedia articles as a reference. ' oncamera (talk page) 17:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Before you changed it, it was, The word Hwoarang, properly romanized Hwarang, was the name of a group of young male warriors in the ancient Korean kingdom of Silla. In recent times, the Hwarang have become symbolic of the Korean martial spirit. It doesn't say Hwoarang's name was inspired by the Hwarang, only stating if his name was properly romanized using one of the two common methods, it should be Hwarang, who are well-known for doing their thing. By the way, I know what are Hangul and Hanja. oncamera (talk page) 19:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC) Maybe this has already been said (I haven't read the entire discussion) but being able to perform the form for red belt in ITF Taekwondo - the Hwoarang (I'm not sure about the spelling) is required to advance to the next rank. And I remember that in his video for Tekken 2 (I think) he performs it. Hell, I even used it for practice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.18.43.69 ( talk) 00:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
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)
Image:Hwoarangt5dr.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

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)
