Jae-sung is Korean in Origin.

Jae-sung (재성) is a Korean given name formed from Sino-Korean elements. Its meaning depends on the chosen hanja: Jae (재) may be written as 才 “talent,” 在 “to exist,” or 財 “wealth,” while Seong (성) commonly appears as 成 “accomplish,” 誠 “sincere,” 星 “star,” or 晟 “bright, rising.” Popular pairings convey ideas like “talented and accomplished” (才成) or “bright prosperity” (才晟/在晟). The name is traditionally masculine but can be unisex, and the hanja must be selected from the South Korean government’s approved list.

Spellings vary with romanization: Jae-seong is the Revised Romanization; Chae-sŏng is McCune–Reischauer; forms without a hyphen (Jaesung) or with a space (Jae Sung) also occur on passports and in diaspora contexts. Widely used through the late 20th century and still familiar today, Jae-sung appears across sports, academia, and entertainment, giving it a modern yet grounded Korean character.
