I'm now wondering how well known Arthuriana is in South Korea in general. My dad used to tell me some of the stories, but my dad is fluent in English and was interested in Western literature to an unusual degree (and also went to one of the top Korean universities). I'm not actually sure my mom knows anything about Arthuriana (and she's not fluent in anything but Korean, and her degree was in something that seems to translate as "educational technology").
I don't know if you've watched the anime Code Geass, but there's random Arthurian names in it too--the Britannian's superweapon mecha is called the Lancelot, and as a running joke, its pilot Suzaku is constantly attacked and bitten by the school cat, which is named Arthur; there's a floating aircraft carrier called the Avalon; some other mecha is called the Gawain; and there are probably more but I'd have to finish my rewatch to list 'em.
