Wei is a Chinese name and is pronounced "way" as far as I've heard. Wie is pronounced "wee."
Michelle's Korean name is "Sung Mi."
As far as Korean sports stars go, don't forget about Jeanette Lee too. Most people don't seem to know she's Korean:

Well, you can try to qualify as a scratch player so you can't apply the handicap. Only scratch scores in pro tournaments. I also can't enter the US Open or the Open Championships because you need to be scratch or a 1-handicap.

In the US, Jeanette made a guest appearance in the HBO comedy Arliss, where she played the cousin of a Chinese woman (the "they all look alike" idea still prevails in America.) A few years ago, I used to have an autographed poster of her hanging in my cubicle, but took it down after attending the company's sensitivity training course (aka sexual harassment/involking a hostile environment/etc.)

The way I broke 100 for the first time was by changing my course management strategy. Most people's problem with breaking 100 is that they have some good holes, but they're backed up by some lousy holes with 10-strokes. Most of those bad holes is caused by a person playing beyond his ability. My driving sucked, although I was still trying to get the ball to the green in regulation with just my irons. It occured to me that it didn't make any sense seeing my ability to accurately drive the ball didn't allow for me to play that strategy properly.
Instead of trying to go for the green in the least number of strokes, I figured as long as I purposely play bogey golf for each of the 18 holes, I'd score in the high 80's to low 90's. So I basically played the course thinking bogey, such as getting the ball to the green in three strokes on a par-4 instead of 2. And on the par-5's, I'd use them as my screw-up holes (there are usually only 3 or 4 par-5's on any given course, so wasting a few strokes on them will still get me under 100). If you think about it even more, double-bogey golf will actually get you a 108, so by eliminating a few of those double-bogeys, you should hit under 100.
With this strategy, I basically left my driver and 3-wood at home, and carried only a few of the irons and wedges I felt comfortable using. The first time I did this, I shot a 95. After a few rounds under 100, I started working the driver and woods back into the bag. At that point, if I was still hitting the woods and driver badly, I knew I could still break 100 by switching back to just the irons.
The whole idea to playing on a real golf course is to play to your ability and confidence level, rather than trying to actually learn how to swing the club correctly and heavily damaging the golf course in the process. Learning to swing a club is what the driving range is for. If you play the golf course using only the clubs you know how to hit with, and manage the course in a way that it matches your ability, then you should hit under 100 in no time.

I thought Jeanette was from Taiwan too  ... dangit, that's two in a row that I've mistaken a korean for a taiwanese. She's an awesome pool player. I saw her and another top female player in a 'tricks match' where each player comes up with a trick and the other tries to duplicate it. That was pretty cool.
Well, now you know who not to ask for info on budding femle sports stars (especially Koreans with chinese family names!  )
