Bong Jung-keunJung Bong – Should be moved per WP:COMMONNAME. During Bong's career in North America, he was exclusively known as "Jung Bong." Yes, I understand how Korean naming conventions work but those conventions are very rarely applied to Korean sportspeople in the western world and were certainly not applied to Bong. Baseball-Reference, Fangraphs, The Baseball Cube, Baseball Almanac, SABR and Baseball America all call him "Jung Bong." A Google Images search shows that he was only called "Jung Bong" on his American baseball cards (excepting the one commemorating his time pitching for Team Korea in the World Baseball Classic).
