A Korean name for Sage
The closest Korean sound match for Sage is 세인 (Se-In) — composed from syllables Koreans actually use in given names — different from simply spelling Sage in hangul (that transliteration is 세이지, covered below). Each option below pairs Korean syllables with hanja, the Sino-Korean characters that give a name its meaning.
How to write Sage in Korean
In hangul, Sage is written 세이지 (se-i-ji) — three syllables: 세 (se) · 이 (i) · 지 (ji).
That spells the sound of Sage in Korean letters — a transliteration, not a name. A Korean given name is composed from syllables Koreans actually use in names, anchored to hanja that carry meaning. The closest one for Sage is 세인, below.
세 is shared by 세이지 and 세인. The transliteration has three syllables and the Korean name has two, so the name match drops 이 and 지 and adds 인.

What 세인 feels like
The two syllables selected for Sage give 세인 a current, contemporary feel. Together they also carry a gender-neutral place in today's usage; 세이지 (se-i-ji) remains the direct spelling.
