No, I thought at Hobi is Jang Hoseok not Chiong/Ciong Huseok, and at Jk ,Jean Jeongkuk not Cheon/ceon chiongguk/ceongguk, at Jimin i thought is Park Jimin not Pak cimin(chimin) and at Jin i thought is Kim Seokjin not Kim Seokchin/Seokcin 🤦 and i am a army for 2 years
Just a little fun fact, “maknae” is actually how it is written in Korean (character by character) but in Korea they use something called consonant assimilation which changes it to “mangnae” to make it easier to pronounce as the sound ng is easier than k :) (btw im learning Korean so that is how I know lol 💜💜)
My situation was even worse I thought his name was Park and his last name was Jimin and he just decided to use his last name as his stage name I am such a crackhead
Kim Namjoon Kim Seokjin Min yoongi Jung hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook Bangtan Sonyeondan I know how to pronounce their names by fan chants lol
@@shirnell1 oh, thanks, also i don't know how we should pronounce Hobi name, Jk name, also "kim" we should pronounce "Gim" "Ghim" "Kghim" or what? Jin and Jimin it's Gin, Gimin, or Cin and Cimin?
@@Marina-mg8ry I think most ppl says Jimin's name right "ji-min" just like Kim, Jin etc. And concerning, Hobi, JK & Jin, I think most ppl say their names right already seeing how the letters are pronounced the same in english translation. Its just for Jimin's name tht most ppl might pronounce it as "pak" instead of "bak" bc of the "p" pronunciation in english. But I think the vid is pretty accurate with how to say their name properly :)
Clicked so fast. Saw Korean unnie and BTS! Both are awesome and inspired me to start my own RUclips channel. Still new. Already knew the names but thanks for the video! :))
This all makes a lot more sense when you are familiar with the Korean alphabet. I struggled with learning their names when I first became an ARMY because I wanted to pronounce their Korean names correctly, but then I started learning Korean which helped it make more sensr
I am not a fan of BTS but was curious about how to pronounce some Korean names, and this video was super cool. It finally clicked for me why there felt like such a discrepancy between how romanized Korean is written versus how it's pronounced. Also, I am very glad to finally learn how to pronounce "Park" correctly.
I also noticed they call themselves by nicknames: ..."Jimin-aah" "Hoba" "JoenGugaa" "Tae-hyung-shi" ... can you please also make a video how do they exactly pronounce their nicknames in Korean? Many thanks for this one, its great to know 💜
They most of the times add "-ah" or "-ie" at the end of the names so their words slides off smoothly in a sentence. Especially if it ends on a consonant. And the "-ssi" is used for honorifics. They add it so they can still sound formal no matter what's the age of the person you're talking to.
@@listentoday6 Yes it really sounds so cute with "ah" or "ie" at the end, I like it very much when I hear it sometimes, but they say it so quickly, it would be great to hear it a bit slower like in this video. Thank you very much for the explanation when they use it 😉👍
씨 (SSI) is basically like Mrs/Miss it's what you use at the end of someones name when your not close to them so when JK calls Jimin Jimin-ssi he's just trying to be funny and when they say Jiminah its how you way of call out someones name from a distance you don't just yell their be like you would speaking English
Korea Now, excellent idea!! And you've given the assignment to the best person for the job, Korean Unnie, Moon So-hyun, who is a great and real teacher! Unnie could make this kind of video about a wide scope of names. Is it important to use a hyphen? What is better, So-hyun or Sohyun? Do people think much about the meaning of their names? Does every name mean something?
If you can read the Korean name correctly, the hyphen is not necessary. It helps to distinguish each single Korean letter. Most Korean people has one letter for last name(김,Kim) and two letters for first name(남준,nam jun or nam joon). Each letter has a different meaning. We write 김남준 in Korean. So hyphen is only used in English. We don't have middle name. But if we write Nam Joon Kim, Than foreigners may think Joon is the middle name. So we put it together like Namjoon Kim. How Kind 😆😋. (I'm not good at English. So please excuse my writing)
@@camelliadandelion Thank you a lot for explaining and for clearing up the doubt! 👍👍 Your English seems great! A question regarding the order, if it's OK - So, in Korean it must be written only as 김남준, not 남준김. But in English we can use both Nam(-)joon Kim and Kim Nam(-)joon, right?
@@danijeld8669 yes, only 김남준 in Korean. But most people use 'Namjoon Kim' in a foreign country 'cos most foreigners don't know that Koreans put the family name first. 'Kim namjoon' also can be used under certain circumstances🙂💜
I'm not Korean myself but I found and watched a video on youtube where they explained the meaning of the names of the BTS' members (ye, I'm an army lol what a surprise). There they said that Koreans really value the meaning of their names and take it really seriously when they have to choose the name of their soon-to-be-born child, since they believe that the meaning of your name will determine the kind of person you will become in the future. You can discover the meaning of a korean name by using hanja (chinese characters). Some names though come directly from the korean language like idk Sarang (사랑= love), Haneul (하늘= sky), Bom (봄= Spring) so Hanja is not needed, some names are western ones but koreanized like 수지 (Suzy). Idk why I got too excited about this lol. There are even people who do "name creators" for a living!! I found it really fascinating. Let's take a look at Jungkook's name (the only name I can remember the meaning of. The others were too difficult for my poor korean skills) means "to be a pillar/tree of the nation". Apparently 정 (Jung) meaning something like pillar/tree and 국 (kook) meaning country. I'll put the link here if I find it. It's really fascinating!!!! My aunt is Korean and during a family gathering we had fun choosing our korean names while trying to keep the roots of our original name. Mine is Kim Se Rin (김세린) lol. "Se" because my name is Sheena so we kept the S. "Rin" comes from my second name "MauReen". "Se" means "generation, age, world" and "Rin" means "female unicorn". Soo I guess it means "the female unicorn of the generation/of the world" (????) LMAO. I've always had a certain obsession with unicorns since my childhood and now that I think about it it's quite fitted lol.
My one year anniversary of being an ARMY is coming up soon, and this was one of the first videos I watched when I started stanning BTS! Now I know how to pronounce our kings names perfectly!!! Big thanks to Korean Unnie for helping me!!! Borahae!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks a lot. I loved it. I'll see this video a hundred times because for me is like impossible to learn they names. This is perfect. I really appreciate your job.
I needed this because I was writing an essay about Bts for school and had to read it out loud but I didn't know how to pronouce their names but thankfully now I do!
I'm new ARMY and I watched this video soooo many times until I could say all their names correctly! Thank you so much, this was by far the most helpful way to learn their names, and I also loved the other little facts about Korea (such as "maknae"!).
3:58 omg I just realized this is the whole bts chant in order right there lolllll thanks so much for the Pronounciations so us non- Korean armies won't botch it up lol
Awesome, I knew it that I have been pronouncing it their name all wrong 😔, thanks I need to now practice 1000 times more than probably I will be ready for the fan chant 😆
I love this!!! I'd been wondering about "Park" for a while now, even before I started listening to BTS. I figured it couldn't possibly be a real Korean name, just something made for TV or whatever. But the way you explained it makes sense! Thank you so much for making this video!
Bless you!! 🤗❤ RM's name is the only one I could really pronounce correctly. Kookie's name smh I couldn't even pronounce it. 😔💔 Now, I can say the chant too. ❤

I CAN RELATEEEEE
Then u should really watch this 😋😋
Oh my god same😂
Love how she taught us in fan-chant order 😂

It's just because it's leader first, and then by decreasing age. That appears to be standard respectful listing order :)

It's actually Armys not armies if you are referring to bts fans

Thank you so much! I was struggling to learn them and you went slow enough for me to follow. You're helping me be the best ARMY I can be! :D
Thank you! I always wondered why do they right V’s name as Bwi in korean letters.
Hey!
THANKS girl.
NOW will my pronunciation of these names be on point.
Love.
I'm indian 🇮🇳 I can pronounce all their names correctly. I'm so happy 😭😭😭
Anybody else notice the names were in the order of the chant. 😂awesome
oh no!!!! I used to pronounce Kim Seokjin as "Kim Sea-ok Jin" and Jimin as "Park Jimin"
tnx for this video
So many people mispronounce their names, even did I! This was really helpful
1:20 My name is Moon So-Hyun by the way
*points at shirt that says "Calvin Klein Jeans"*
It’s so easy to pronounce their names, and I’m American. Been pronouncing it correctly right from the start.
Moon So Hyun 😍 thank you for this
Oh may gawd I never knew I was that good at pronouncing their name's! I'm really so good at listening!
thx for the video ily
I love this!!! I'd been wondering about "Park" for a while now, even before I started listening to BTS. I figured it couldn't possibly be a real Korean name, just something made for TV or whatever. But the way you explained it makes sense! Thank you so much for making this video!
💜💜
I listen to this video everyday to make sure im always pronouncing their names right 😂
Thank u unnie now we know to pronounce
It just sounds so much better when you say it!
"It's never pronounced as 'Park'"
Me: (Is from Boston and can't pronounce "park" even if I wanted to lol)
I’ve been an army for a year and someone said I should watch this and now I know why
Bless you!! 🤗❤ RM's name is the only one I could really pronounce correctly. Kookie's name smh I couldn't even pronounce it. 😔💔 Now, I can say the chant too. ❤
Your last name is so beautiful I love it !
Kamsahamnida! Now i know, how to pronounce those members name correctly!

Some say Kim TaehyAng, Kim TaehyUng, Kim TaehyOUng. Just decide already 😭
I too used to pronounce as Taehyang but according to unnie it seems like it is pronounced as Taehyong
Thanku so much ...this is what I have been searching for a long...
I purple u💜from Kerala,India
Moon So-hyun? You have a nice name
I really appreciate that you did it in fanchant order 😂 although I was waiting for you to say “BTS” after you recapped their names at the end.
