r/kpop on Reddit: what kpop group/member/song names you've been pronouncing wrong?
November 28, 2018 -

I recently learned that group name 'NU'EST' is pronounced as "New East", I've been reading it in my head as Noo-est. The apostrophe on the U should have been a hint but I never really noticed it because I don't follow the group.

So what kpop related names/things you found out that you've been pronouncing it wrong?

14 K-Pop Names You’ve Been Saying Wrong The Whole Time - Koreaboo
November 30, 2018 - If you can read Hangul you’re probably someone that’s actually been calling them by the right name the whole time because NU’EST is 뉴이스트 which is pronounced “New East”! How you’ve probably been saying it: If you’ve been pronouncing EXID like “exit” with a “d” you certainly aren’t alone!

December 6, 2022 - Head over to r/kpop for official K-Pop content and news or r/kpophelp to ask questions. ... Archived post. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Share ... Ok so obviously this isn’t the main point but is IVE seriously pronounced like “Ivy”???? I swear I thought it was just pronounced as “I’ve” ... No it's definitely "I've", their intros say it a lot. ... Oh good, I’m glad I’m not crazy lol. Thanks for explaining :) More replies ... It's I've. Korean pronunciation difers a little because they can't end words in a consonant so they use a neutral vowel at the end (romanized as 'eu')

r/kpopthoughts on Reddit: What kpop groups do you always pronounce wrong?
February 10, 2025 -

I’m talking about groups where you either got the pronunciation wrong at first, or you know how it’s pronounced but can’t stop yourself from pronouncing it wrong and have to correct yourself. For example:

I can’t stop pronouncing kep1er as kep-ler

I pronounce riize as a rhyme of breeze

I pronounce Izone as I-Zone

I pronounce illit as ill (like sick)-it

Probably my worst and dumbest one I pronounced ASC2NT as as-c*nt and have been struggling to break the habit

Edit: apparently I was corrected wrong and I was pronouncing kep1er right!

Fans have been pronouncing fromis_9 as how you would say it in English, but in the Korean phonetic alphabet, they don't have the "f" sound! That's why fromis_9 is pronounced as "promise-nine." ...

r/kpop on Reddit: What group names are hard to pronounce or are confusing?
November 1, 2020 -

Everytime I see ENHYPEN, I read epi-pen and I still have no idea how to pronounce it because I don't follow them lmao. Even when I typed their name I was about to call them ENYHPEN which just sounds like I'm gasping for breath because hp isn't really sound in English.

In another vein BTS, they're great, but the amount of 'bts' on unrelated videos makes me confused. I see bts as a group name before I see 'behind the scenes'. And it's been how many years.. but it still gets me everytime lmao.

Edit: A lot of thse have made me crack up and many more I'm shocked by, honestly. TIL!
