Usage notes
editApplying this honorific directly to a surname is considered rude or a way of indicating that the addressee is a social inferior. As a mark of respect, it should follow either the full name or just the given name.
In an organization, using 씨 (ssi) means the referent has no job title, and it is not appropriate even when the title is minor.
