The price they charge for those burgers is ridic.

It'll never fly outside of Korea unless they slash the price in half... at least, plus provide fries with the burger.

Koreans pronounce it "Kra" (as in crap) "zey" (as in hey).


From my experience, this is only true for those who can actually pronounce a z, which most Koreans can't unless they've got a pretty solid English background. More like what you're saying but with a j in place of the z.

Or if you correctly address it as something that has nothing to do with music, musicians or non-hairstyle related issues.

You're both wrong! It's 크라제 burger. Like craw (as in -fish) and je (sounds like jay).

Haha OP is trying to scold people, yet he's pronounced it wrong for 8 years. Gotta love the irony.

They should call it Babo Burger for the alliteration.

Also, call it what you want, just don't call me late for dinner. chk chk chk

If anyone needs to examine how low the caliber of "I'm better than you" posters on Dave's... look no further than the first post of this thread.

It's condescending! It's factually wrong! It's written by someone who's been in Korea for 8 years and probably can't read a bit of 한글! And most importantly, it's written to boost the poster's failing self-image.

But hey, at least we all got a good chuckle out of this one.

Shinee? Man, do my students get mad when I spell his name "Shiny".


They must also get mad at you for referring to the group as one person. Very Happy


For the longest time I thought with a name like "Shinee" it was one person. I've since been educated, but suffer from occasional relapses of couldn't care less.

I used to think it was pronounced "sheen-ay".

Is it a Korean company? I saw a new Kraze Burger in the Venetian Casino in Macau last weekend! Shocked

I don't care how Koreans say it, I pronounce it "Craze Burger."
