Of course there are gender neutral names. My name 태희 is a example. I am a man, but famous korean actress 김태희 is a woman. Because she is famous, Some people mistake that I may be a woman. But actually 태희 was a gender neutral in the past. I met both men and women whose names are 태희.
And there are men who have female's name, and women who have male's name.
For example. The BTS's member, 박지민 is very common female's name. He may was named 지민 because 지 and 민 are both common gender neutral character(지훈, 민준), But 지민 is not.
