I'm not gonna be all "well let me tell you about your culture" because that would just be messy, but there really are issues with giving an Asian character a name from another culture, even if you belong to one or both of those groups. Like, you will inevitably give the impression that you see these cultures as interchangable, like you did to me, even if you don't (I apologize for assuming things, anyway, that was rude and inexcusable on my part). Especially if you don't have much a reasoning aside from "the person is open to new things" like, me naming myself Cammy doesn't leave me any more open to Italian culture than I already am.

Even though there's a lot of shared history and culture between Japan and Korea, there's still a lot of historical context that should tell you why it's considered offensive and problematic to pick and take things like names, or mythology, from those cultures and use them interchangably. However, like Ze said, all it needs is a context.
