Q:

Japanese for "Dami Im"

How would I translate Dami Im's name into Japanese?
Im was born in South Korea (her name in Korean is 임다미), but moved to Australia when she was nine. "Dami" is her given name, and "Im" is her surname, based on her father's name being Dong Eal Im.
Is it ok to just use "ダミ･イム", like the Japanese edition of Wikipedia does? Or ought I try to work out the kanji equivalent of "Dami" and "Im", like how Ban Ki-moon is 潘基文 according to the Japanese edition of Wikipedia?
Does the fact that she's a singer (or any kind of celebrity) mean that she's more likely to have a katakana name than someone who isn't a celebrity (such as a politician or a scientist)?
I've also seen her nameCatherine Wright
