*puts on geek glasses* A-hem. First of all, his name has been romanized into Hwoarang, when it in fact should be romanized as Hwarang, like the Japanese katakana version suggests. It's pronounced h-wah-rah-ng, or that's as close as I can get with English. :/
And if there is someone who doesn't know, Hwoarang is not his birth name, he picked it himself as his street name. The name hwarang means "flowering youth" or "flower prince" which would make anyone rofl. XD However, in ancient Korean history, the hwarang were a group of elite soldiers in the kingdom of Shilla. Later the title was given to taekwondo pupils. Although recent research doubts whether these later hwarangs were pupils at all, or were they just sex slaves for their taekwondo masters...
...but anyhoo, because Hwoarang's name is so hard to pronounce, most American players just call him BOB (Boy On Bike).
