"Kim" is the most common family name in Korea.  If one wanted to pick an
iconic Korean name, it would be "Kim," with "Park" as the probable
runner-up.  It also means "gold," or rather is homonymous with the Korean
word for "gold."
Now, "Kim" is also a Chinese name, but the Chinese name is sometimes
Anglicized "Jin."  I'm not sure how many Korean names there are that have no
Chinese equivalent or cognate.
