Se-woon is Korean in Origin.

Se-woon is a Korean given name, usually written 세운 in Hangul and built from the Sino-Korean elements Se (세) + Un/Woon (운). Its meaning depends on the selected hanja. Common options for Se include 世 "world," 歲 "year/age," 洗 "to cleanse," 細 "fine/delicate," or 勢 "vigor," while Un/Woon may be 運 "fortune/movement," 雲 "cloud," 韻 "rhythm/tone," or 耘 "to till." Combinations yield senses such as "worldly fortune," "pure luck," "delicate cloud," or "resonant charm." The name functions for any gender.

Two-syllable hanja names like Se-woon have been favored from the late Joseon period through modern times; 운-names saw mid-20th-century popularity and remain familiar today (notably borne by singer Jeong Sewoon). Romanization varies: Se-woon (hyphenated), Sewoon (solid), Se Woon (spaced), or Se-un in Revised Romanization. A near-homophone, Seo-un/Seo-woon (서운), uses different vowels and hanja, so meanings should be confirmed by the specific characters registered for the child.
