Edit : YES, I know it’s Korean, I know you don’t know the word, I know it’s been clarified recently, but it’s been clarified recently so now we know

I mean, it sure sounds like it’s supposed to be spelled Kishin when they said it in the short, Chu only clarified it yesterday iirc

How is it actually pronounced thou cuz it sounds like a hard K right?

5

It’s a common mistake just because of how Korean pronounces the “w” in 귀신. Can’t blame em too much, but yeah it’s not right

6

Some Korean consonants are a bit of a quandary for English use. Like for Busan, I have always considered it a P, but its a muted p/b sound.

The g/k sound in Gwishin is the same way.

I say Kalbi, you can also say Galbi, but the actual pronunciation is neither a hard K or the softer G sound.

Yeah, sort of a mix of the two, same with taehyun/daehyun.

Too bad, I’m sticking with Kishin

Isn’t there a Korean romaji equivalent to prevent these mistakes?

The romaji/romanization equivalent is kuishin or gwishin.
