No worries, doing it especially as you are new according to the lore

Great news. Nowadays the difference between "LLM found an issue through
static analysis, generated bugfix and sent it" versus "someone had a
real issue and fixed it with the LLM help" is hard to tell, and the
first approach is sadly more common.

Perfect. Make sure to fix your SoB: we require real names in the kernel
and kimwooseok looks more like a username.

Side tangent: I wouldn't be surprised if you were even allowed to use
Hanguls if you preferred. Though there isn't a large precedent, I hope
we can assume (1) systems have full unicode range support and (2) no
one expects a name to always be firstname + lastname.

My own "é" never caused much trouble.
