Question ID: 751705
I need two pieces of information.  First, how would a Korean named
"Young Hwa Kim" "sign" his name in Korean on an official document?

Second, I do not know if Koreans "initial" official documents like
Westerners do, but if they do, how would someone with the name "Young Hwa
Kim" initial his name on an official document?  If Koreans do not
"initial" official documents, then indicate this, and indicate whether
they would instead sign their names again or do something else in the
"initial" space on an official document, or just leave that space
blank.

An answer MUST include a picture or other visual representation of the
name and initial, in a big enough format to be easily copiable, and,
if necessary, instructions on brush strokes, direction of print, and
anything else someone with no knowledge of Korean would need to create
a realistic Korean signature.

I have never heard the name pronounced or represented in any format
other than Latin print.  If the name could have several different
possible spellings, include all of them and explain any differences.

I printed this question and took it to a Korean friend of mine, who
has explained how Koreans sign their name, and how they initial their
name --on legal documents. On the print out, she wrote the name Young
Hwa Kim in a signature, and in initials.

I can provide this as your official answer ONLY if you are fully
satisfied with this as your Answer.

Note, this does not address the third part of your question:

..."I have never heard the name pronounced or represented in any format
other than Latin print.  If the name could have several different
possible spellings, include all of them and explain any differences..."

My Answer would be a scan of this question's print out with her
signiture of Young Hwa Kim visible in ink on the page, and an
explanation of why it is the way it is.

Let me know if this would be a fully satisfactory Answer, and I will post it.
