If his name is "Yi Han-yong", how then is the surname "Ri"?!
Wiki needs to make up its mind which spelling to use. The Hwang Jang Yop page, for example, uses the Ri spelling.
I should note, btw, that the Hangul is different for the North and South Korean spellings. Southern version reflects "Yi" whereas Northern version more literally "Ri". Was this carried over into English, i.e., using "Ri" for his early years, and "Yi" for years post-defection?
