Kim for the day

The New York Times has breaking news:

President Obama is nominating Jim Yong Kim, a physician who has been president of Dartmouth College for three years, to head the World Bank, the White House said. The nomination of Dr. Kim, who helped found Partners in Health and directed the World Health Organization’s department of HIV/AIDS, would recognize the importance of health issues in global development.

Rico says the guy's name should, properly, be rendered Kim Yong Jim; wonder if he's any relation to the Kim who's running North Korea? (About as much as Rico is related to any of his English relatives with his family name...)
