‘성 김대건 안드레아 사제 순교자’
should be written as
‘聖金大建 안드레아 司祭殉敎者’

Holy Father, I am a plain writer in South Korea. I was glad to hear the news that a Korean martyr's statue is built in Basilica Vaticana. But I need to appeal to Your Holiness in the name of Korean History and Bible's teaching.

Korea has been used Hanja(漢字, so called Chinese Letter) more than two thousand years just as China and Japan. All of Korean historical scripts are by this letter accumulated.
So called Hangul(한글) is made at 15th century to help pronunciations of Korean language. Even after Hanja has been Korea's official letter.
At 1910 Japan conquered Korea and Korean Peninsula became Japanese Empire.
At 1945 Japanese Empire yielded to United States. US claimed Japan cease to use Hanja. Japan appealed to US to cancel the claim. But South Korea(part of the defeated Japanese Empire) accepted that claim. So Hangul became the exclusive official letter at South Korea.
Hangul is very simple so they say very easy to learn. But hence it can express Korean language not precisely. Not to say that it cannot discriminate many homonyms by spellings, it cannot express pronunciations precisely.
So Hangul is said to be used by lowest intellected people who cannot learn Hanja. And made to represent oppressed people's liberation. Politicians who pose as progressive often utilized Hangul to show off their progressiveness by proclaiming to use only Hangul and not to use Hanja.
But today most people receive elementary school's education. That Hanja is not difficult to learn is proven at China and Japan.
However at South Korea, high class social power almost forces people to use only Hangul and not to use Hanja. By public writings and education curriculums.
To care for low intellected people's right and to let low intellected people increase is different.
Just like
To care for poor people's right and to let poor people increase is different.
To care for disabled people's right and to let disabled people increase is different.
To care for sexual minority's right and to let sexual minority increase is different.
That South Korea's high class power force people not use Hanja resulted as follows.
Since people don't know Hanja, they cannot communicate neighbor country Japan and China. So common people lose their opportunity to trade with neighbor country. To bound people helps high class power to maintain their privilege.
South Korea's common people do not know their language precisely. They are deprived of their opportunity to increase intellect during life. They cannot learn academical areas correctly without going abroad to study. So compared to high class people who can abroad freely, common people's children have much less opportunity for academical study. This helps class fixation.
If Catholic helps South Korea's annihilation of Hanja, helps South Korea's high class power's class fixation.
Is Catholic approve that all countries should throw out their native language and become English using countries? Just like before the Babel Tower happening? Or to let Catholic be in harmony with each country's native culture and flourish together?
God wants people to increase their intelligence during life or not?

'성' is very vague. It can mean not only 'saint' but also 'sex(性)', 'castle(城)', 'achieve(成'), 'voice(聲)', 'star(星)', 'ape(猩)', etc. Ought to be specified by 聖.
If Kin Dae Geon has come to live today, he would write his name as 金大建 not as 김대건.  金大建 has meaning in family of Gold(金) Great(大) Building(建) but 김대건 has no meaning. The abbreviated pronunciations by Hangul are too rough so each syllable cannot contain any meaning. Is European developed countries' people's names have meanings or not?
'안드레아' is OK. Since Hangul is for simple pronunciation, it can be used to script foreign names. Although Koreans cannot know soon the name '안드레아' would have meaning. It is translated without much loss. Because no less characters are used compared to original word. But to write Hanja only by Hangul is, by much decrease of strokes, vanish the meaning.
‘사제’ is also vague. It can mean ‘teacher and student(師弟)', 'privately made(私製)'. It should be specified by '司祭‘.
Although '순교자' can be supposed to 殉敎者, by 순교자 can communicate meanings little.  殉 is to submit death 敎 is religion 者 is person.
