Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 앙투안 reads as a foreign name at a glance. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 앙투안이 왔어 ("Antoine's here").
Why it's spelled 앙투안
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 안토인, but Korean media write 앙투안, because the name is written the way it sounds in French, not the way it's spelled.
- Korean writes French names the French way: nasal vowels like 'an/on' end in ㅇ or ㄴ and oi is a 'wa' sound.
