Sung-ki or Sseong-gi is a Korean given name. It was the ninth-most-popular name for newborn boys in 1940, according to South Korean government data.[1]
The name is not commonly given to babies with the family name Nam, as the resulting name "Nam Sung-ki" (남성기) is a homograph and homophone of the Korean word for penis. The 2005 Seoul Broadcasting System television series Hello My Teacher was criticised for its inclusion of a character with the gag name Nam Sung-ki, for this reason; some commentators believed this penis joke was inappropriate for television.[2]
People with this name include:
- Ahn Sung-ki (born 1952), South Korean actor
- Cho Sung-ki (born 1951), South Korean writer
- Jung Sung-ki (born 1971), South Korean baseball player
- Yoo Seong-gi (born 1991), South Korean football player
