I'm torn between "They're dabbing on us, they're the hungry ghosts irl and they will not rest until the world is swallowed whole" and "the author whose only notable Asian character was named Cho Chang probably has no idea what the word means and someone pulled a funny prank"

Wait... What's wrong with "Cho Chang"???

Cho is a Korean surname and Chang is a Chinese one. It's kinda like calling your Irish character McGregor O'Connor
