listlessThis is Souldoll's Kanguk. (Okay, okay, he's my Kanguk, since Souldoll has been well and truly paid for him.) Very, very nice, this Soul Double body, though evidently all double-jointed arms are prone to flipping up into what someone cleverer than me once called "velociraptor poses." Unlike the briefly-visiting and pinheaded Souldoll Jin Woo, Kanguk's head is pretty well-proportioned to the body. The eyebrows are either hilarious or appalling, but the rest of the faceup is perfectly adequate.
I really do want to give him a Korean name, and I even went through the campus directory to look at our Korean exchange students' names . . . but, sadly, I haven't mastered the nuances of which Korean names are masculine and which are feminine. Yes, I've trawled the baby-name sites, but they're almost all plagiarized from the same source, so there's not much to choose from.
Anybody have Korean friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers?
You could always call him by my brother's nickname... Mr. Tong! But that pretty much means mr. poop. XD;;;
I still think your mother's name is THE coolest. I know you're making a Nan Sook, but I don't say I won't take the name for one of my dolls someday.
What about you? Do you have a Korean name, or only an English one? I've always wondered, but I never got around to asking. (I have so much trouble trying to remember my students' Korean names AND the English names they want to use--one name per person, guys, please! ;-)
Love your trick-or-treaters!
I really like him, he looks so real

Tell Toshi to keep those kids under control. Dogs make the best supervisors ever.
Hugs to you and Toshi..
Re: Red haired Korean Boy
My supervisor is now sprawled on the couch, snoring. So much for doing his canine duty!
I've always liked Souldoll, and they do have a good thing going with the Double body. I wish I had one of the earlier Souldolls just for comparison's sake. In my fantasy life, I believe I'll be able to track down the unbelievably elusive one-off Souldoll Gunun, which came up for sale on DoA a couple of years ago at a time when I was trying to be restrained and frugal. Ptooey.
....no idea on name ??
I adored your pictures, BTW, even though I'm doing a monumentally bad job of keeping up with e-mail!
Names
Chul Moo = iron weapon
Hwan Ji = shining wisdom
Myung Wook = clear dawn
Sang Hoon = no idea :/
Yun Tae = also no idea
Re: Names
Come to think of it, I've had both male and female students named Seung Hee, so maybe names are more unisex than I was assuming?
And all of those are wonderful names--I'm especially fond of Hwan Ji (would work for a girl, hmmm?) . . .
