I was living in Seoul many (many) moons ago. I remember all forms having three character spaces each for first and last names. Fun times squeezing in a standard western ten-twenty latin character names. Even transliterated to hangul my name wouldn't fit. It was always a small thrill if the person behind the counter would look terrified and accept it without question or get pissy and refuse it without mercy.
