💡 Why does Dad think he's being disrespected?
"너의 이름은" is the Korean title of the anime Your Name, but read plainly it's "your name is" using casual 너 ("you"). Dad never saw the film, so he heard his kid demanding his name like a stranger — and corrected him to the honorific 성함.Like answering "who's there?" with "Old Man."
