from the article: This is likely to be en:Seok Joo-myung. I opened discussion there: en:Talk:Seok Joo-myung--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:39, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- On the title page of A Synonymic List of Butterflies of Korea (visible of gBooks), Joo-Myung is credited as "D.M. Seok", so I'm going to agree with this, especially givne the Esperanto connection! Circeus (talk) 12:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Circeus: nice detective work! Now we probably should rename the article as well to be in line with enwiki Seok Joo-myung?--Estopedist1 (talk) 15:33, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- Only if we want to put his family name first Asian-style. If we want to go given name first, that would be Joo-myung Seok. Circeus (talk) 16:04, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- This worldcat page I just found after a dive into google gives the full name of the author of A Synonymic List of Butterflies of Korea as "Do Myung Suk" which sounds pretty consistent with our findings so far, since "Suk" is another spelling of "Seok" at least.

- Just saw that the article that Accassidy added last month includes a PDF, in which a set of Japanese or Chinese characters can be seen after "D. M. Seok". To the best of my handwriting on Google Translate I think they're "石宙明"? Interestingly, googling those characters does actually give results relating to Seok Joo-myung, including a post by Google about him from 2014 (here). This might be the connection we're looking for.

- I have since found out that 石宙明 is just the Hanja form of 석주명 (Seok Joo-myung's name in Korean), so I'm pretty convinced now that D. M. Seok and Seok Joo-myung are the same person. Monster Iestyn (talk) 19:49, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
