About the name Zoey in Korean
Zoey becomes the English word 'joy' on its way into Korean. Korean has no 'z', so it turns into 'j', and 조이 (Jo-i) sounds just like 'joy'. 주희 (Ju-hui) uses that link best: 'a pearl of joy' is a bright, natural fit. 주아 (Ju-a) keeps the j- opening, and the open 아 lengthens it gently; 'complete elegance' makes it the more formal pick. 소이 (So-i) differs from 조이 only in its first consonant, so the rhythm and the final 이 are identical, and 'bright joy' is the lightest of the three. Hanja appear on official registration and formal documents, but everyday life uses hangul. In daily use, then, the 'joy' sound is what friends and teachers will notice first, and the characters matter most on paper.
