Every time I do, it sounds like "Han-zuh" because my mind immediately heads to German pronunciation when I see his name Romanized. If I see it in Hangul, I know it rhymes with "manse" and don't flub.

Usually i just think s-n-s-d in my head instead of sonyeoshidae or sau-nee-shi-dai.

For me, its to do with the stan-dom name. Seeing it in writing while reasearching or b4 knowing how to say it in korean-i will forever think so-neh in my head, instead of so-won (they shd hv spelled it so-one in english). Tat is forever ingrained in my head since 2018 when i started to stan snsd n started learning more abt them. But my username here i think of tat part as 1-syllable Sawwwwn.

i mean okay but why

Imo, there is no pt asking this abt kpop names/reasons when it comes to english group/stage names. Just go with it. (Koreans just use hangul anyway, english is like just clickbait for outside korea.)

Also, i hv/had argument(s) very, very short ones, with my teenage niece (who is a bigger kpop fan than me), abt Shinee. I asked her why its not pronounced Shin-ee n she basically threw her hands up n said "i give up". Also when i asked her abt Seventeen having 13 members. Another time when i asked her abt NCT n their multiple sub-units. Shes v frustrated tat im interested in kpop but I DONT GET IT! (to her).

After my reply, i got curious n tried to learn the hangul n korean meanings of some group names.

BigBang, 2NE1, NCT, f(x) n idek how many others r/might be meaningless n hangul/korean-so its not just a recent clickbait thingie.

Idk how far bk it goes as rn im not gonna try to translate/learn g.o.d./H.O.T./S.E.S./fin.kl/other 1st gen hangul/korean names n whether they actually hv meanings in their own language (thats not borrowed from other languages/letters, like bigbang n the others,) [i know Firetruck's hangul/romaji is sobangcha, so presumably at the very beginning it may not been problematic as it l8r became].

 

[dark_tranquility]

All of them. Since Korean isn't my mother tongue and I only know English.

Those bad feels man.
