In my country, China, people usually put their surname first. I believe it is part of Chinese culture. I also believe this style is very common in other countries. By the way, in addresses in China, people write the country first, which is the same as in South Korea.

I think we use both versions. It depends on how it fits. Besides we use patronymics (middle name) without fail.
