How do you pronounce IVE’s member’s names? I wanna start stanning them but idk how to say their names
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?
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!
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!
