Question:

How do I spell this Korean surname?

How do I spell this Korean surname?

I met this guy who is Korean. He is first or second generation in america though, so he is fully "westernized". But he has a slight accent. Thus the problem. When he said his name I didn't quite understand him in all the noise, and because of the accent. I would like to look him up in the phone book. I can't figure out how I should spell his name. His friend said his name was "shipcho". At least that's what she thought he said. So I don't know. How would you spell a Korean surname that is pronounced or mispronounced (by an american), as "schipcho"?
