Well, one girl write the letter to me and end up with
From 白犬

Koreans use Chinese characters for their names.
Her name is Kyeon Baek (Baek is her family name).
If Baek is not her family name, then her name is translated as 'White silk'. Then add her family name.
So: Baek Kyeon (insert family name here).
Kyeon means silk. Specifically silk used for writing, or painting.
Read without knowing it as a name, it would read as 'White dog'
In future, try to get your hands on a 국어사전, specifically for Hanja (korean pronounciation for chinese characters) translated into true Korean. Just going from Hanja to Korean will give you 'White dog.'
Hope this helps.

Yes, they are Chinese characters, but many Koreans use Chinese characters for a fancy style of writing. For example, in Korea, the name of a newspaper written at the top of the page is often written in Chinese characters, and many types of formal certificates in Korea have a lot of Chinese characters as well.
A lot of Koreans also sign their names using Chinese characters, so it's no surprise that this Korean girl used them to sign her nickname. These two Chinese characters may be pronounced differently depending on which Asian language you are speaking, but in Korean the pronunciation is "baek gae" which means, as you know, white dog. Or maybe her name is "Becky"?

I'm afraid that is NOT Korean - in Korean it looks like this,
"백색 개"
백색 - white
개 - dog:
Yours was the Japanese kanji for white dog. Chinese is also different.
However, if she wants to use Japanese kanji for her signature that's up to her ...

The one on the left looks like a glass of juice. The other one looks like a person with no torso. So maybe its juice squezed from the torso of a plum.
