You should respect a name like it is, not like you want to.

If he would adopt a western first name, then it would right to say First name - surename, like Johnny Choi, Mike Choi or whatshowever, but he hasnīt.

Choi Hong-man is right, Hong-man Choi is wrong.

Bruce Lee is right, Lee Bruce is bullshit.
otherwise: Lee Siu Loong is right, Siu Loong Lee is bullshit.
Miyamoto Musashi is right, Musashi Miyamoto is crap.
Mike Tyson is right, Tyson Mike is wrong.

In many asian (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam) and african cultures itīs surename first name, so you should respect it.
