anything with 'f' in it. there is no 'f' sound in korea. also, lots of 'r' and 'l' letters in a word will confuse your best students. so, find a word with f's r's and l's in it and you are all the way there. so, like the op said, frivously woud be damn tough.

Actually, haven't met a Korean yet that can correctly pronounce my name, Ryan.

All my students call me "Lion King"

At my first job here we also had a Ryan = Lion teacher working there. There also was Black teacher who's name was Blake.

"SORRY
I
WAS
WRONG."

Pretty hard for a Korean co-worker or boss to say, in fact I've never heard it yet, because they're always in the right.
