directly or separately 씨
I’ve seen in my textbook 씨 always written separately and that’s how I always use it but I’ve been wondering. Is it a mistake to attach 씨 directly to a name
eg. 민지씨 or should I separate it eg. 민지 씨?

Answer

씨 always needs a space

리치 씨
리오 씨
 
Ironically, Korean people scold others for misspelling  but not for spacing wrong.
So you may see many wrong sentences online.

Answer

민지 씨 (○)
'씨'는 '의존 명사'이므로 띄어 씁니다.
