From the Pioneer Press last week:
Note to the copy editor (at AP? or at the PiPress?) who wrote this headline: Korean (and Chinese) names place the family name first, so Kim Jong Un's shortened name here should be Kim.
And his given name is Jong Un, so referring to him as Un is pretty wrong. It's akin to referring to someone named Mary Anne Smith as Anne on second reference.

Newspapers nowadays don't have the budget to pay for proofreaders. It's too bad. I'd love a job like that....
