ORV: How to Pronounce Characters' Names in Korean

Hello. I am a huge fan of webtoons and web novels, and I just thought that I could help with pronouncing some of the characters' names.
I am not perfect in pronunciation as I am not an announcer or something, but still am a native Korean speaker.
The romanization of Korean names for webtoons/manhwa and web novel just doesn't work for me sometimes. I hope it helped you.
If you have any other Korean names you are struggling with, please let me know so that I can help you out.

For ‘Lee’, you can stick to ‘Lee’ rather than trying to read it as ‘Yi’ if you find it awkward. The correct way of reading Lee in KOREAN is “Yi” BUT Lee is still correct, considering the fact that native Koreans would spell and read Lee/Yi as ‘Lee’ in ENGLISH. Lee is the official romanization, as well!

Locally in singapore we use Lee as well :D

This is so helpful, thank you!!!
I am always worried about saying the names wrong. I feel like I will still say them wrong despite watching this because I suck lol, but at least there is now a quick guide in reviewing it, hehe.
Once again, thank you ❤️

[@derukoreannamesguide8555]

Sorry for the late reply. I'm really glad that I could help you!❤️❤️
