Beom-seok
Beom-seok is a Korean given name. The name may be spelled various ways in the Roman alphabet. One customary spelling, Bum-suk, became a source of mirth to Anglophones in the 1950s and again in the 1980s, when two South Korean politicians who spelled their name that way rose to prominence. As a result, other transcriptions such as Pom-sok came into wider use.

- Lee Beom-seok (prime minister), Korean independence activist and politician
- Lee Bum Suk (foreign minister), South Korean politician
- Oh Beom-seok, South Korean football player
