I'd use both forms if they are common enough. Ditto for the two main romanization systems.

"When there is the possibility of confusion in pronunciation, a
hyphen ‘-’ may be used."

"As a rule, syllables in given names are not seperated[sic] by
hyphen, but it is admitted to use a hyphen between syllables."

Seems like an authoritative source to me:

  Comments:
How do we feel about hyphens? Always-on or case-by-case? It
sounds mentally taxing to decide whether or not each name has a
possibly confusing pronunciation.

It's "Gyeongdeuk" in Revised Romanization of Korean (the official romanization system in South Korea). I think that's what we should use here.

「金 敬得(김경득、キム ギョンドゥク …」

I don't know how to transliterate Korean and wasn't able to spot
a transliteration in my web search, so I used GT.

GT says "경득" is "Gyeongdeug"
A google search for "金敬得" also shows "Kyŏng-dŭk Kim"
