This may have changed recently, but only a few years ago,
when you got a name card from a Korean, it was either almost
completely in Hanja (traditional ideographs), or almost
completely in Hangul. I would say the probability was about
50/50.
Soobok, it would be nice if you could do a count through the
stack of namecards that you probably have, and tell us what
the proportions are nowadays. (replies from others of course
also very welcome).
