Sound-Element Name (발음오행)
Each syllable of a Korean name carries a Five-Element sound. Bokki reads whether your name's elements flow into one another.

발음오행 (sound-element name harmony) — how a Korean name's syllables flow through the Five Elements, syllable by syllable.
Each syllable's initial consonant (초성) is mapped to one of the Five Elements by the 訓民正音 해례본 (1446 original Hunminjeongeum) system, and each adjacent pair of elements is read as generative (상생) or destructive (상극). Where the 해례본 and the modern-majority mapping disagree, we follow the 해례본 — the original text — and say so plainly.
This is a symbolic reading of a name's inner sound-flow, not a score or a verdict on the name or the person carrying it. No medical, legal, or financial advice.
The modern-majority mapping swaps the labial and guttural consonants versus the 1446 해례본 original — likely because the 해례본 itself was lost until 1940. We follow the 해례본 as the primary source.
No — it's read as one thread in the name's flow, not a verdict. We don't score names or the people who carry them.
