You don't talk to your dad like that
아빠한테 그럼안되지
It's "Dad's honored name." That's how you say it
아빠성함은 그래야지

💡 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.vs. Like answering "who's there?" with "Old Man."Klore note
