He was an international free agent this winter, so he's brand new. He's not the only oddity in the player pool.

There is another Korean that doesn't sound Korean at all, Milwaukee's Dave Walk, but he's been in the league for a few years now (created under 16, though). There's also a Cuban free agent that was created this winter with an unusual first name, Dave Soto, and a Japanese one, Kanbu Butler.

There are also two German international scouting discoveries with English names, and those have been around for a few years (but also created under 16). Given the nature of U.S. bases in Germany, this doesn't strike me as odd (never mind that one of them was born in Potsdam in '87), but you are right that their names shouldn't be in the files.

That's all I could find in a hurry.
