I was fooling around with the search tool to see how biased our discussions are toward certain people or countries. Below is a quick list of players that I, personally, chose to search on and the number of appearances as reported by the tool. There are some issues with alternative spellings of Korean names. As always, YMMV. Enjoy!
Note that the tool will not search on a name like Gu Li, which only contains 2-letter words.
