The most mispronounced korean word in the world in my opinion would be
Hyundai. Back in New Zealand I remember the ad, the guy narrating would say ���̿����. Cracked up laughing. |

or why Korean last names (Kim, Park, Lee) have not been touched?
Or why the last name Chae is spelled like Choi which looks like it would rhyme with toy? |
I knew this girl whose lastname was Kim, but spelled her name "Guimm"
I thought, that's strage, asked why and she said she wanted to blend in with the French if she ever went there to study cello.
Well, it wasn't her idea, but her father's idea. Gim or Gimm instead of Kim, doesn't look right, I know I'm contradicting myself, but if you change these, some how, they don't sound Korean.
The foreigners will probably say Hi, Mr Gym. |
