lol typo in the title bro. it's 한글 not 한골 but i guess you might already knew that.

noodle is usually written as 짜장면. emphasis on jah and using the double lettering ㅉ makes it like really strong 'jah' sound.

Yep, usually written that way, but the formal and the actual correct was of writing and even pronouncing is 자장면. This 'typo' came about because first letter of a word is emphasised in korean phonology.
e.g. 가면 -> kamyun
hyuga 휴가
ㄱ has a sound close to k in English when it is the first letter of the word, and a sound close to g if it is not the first letter.
ㅈ has ch sound if it is the first letter of the word, j if it is not the first letter. The error came about when ㅈ was pronounced ㅉ because of that emphasis. The only phonetic difference ㅉ sound and 'ch' sound is tongue touching the top part of the gum of the top teeth and tongue touching the bottom part of the gum of the bottom teeth. It produces very similar sound as outcome. More you know :D

Still the correct way of saying, or writing 짜장면 is 자장면 and neither sounds are 'jah' in this situation (in terms of English).

이재동 ee Jae Dong (Jaedong)

Though you are correct 이재동 = Yee Jae Dong
The infamous progamer and our zerglord's name is 이제동, not 이재동.

It's obviously a typo when Jaedong made his id.
It should be Jedong, but we should let that slide as I think Korea officially made ae = e sound phonetically around a decade ago.

Correct, use -ssi for formality, and hyung for a little less formality.

I suppose...
But if you listen carefully when the commentators say names, it's Ee, and Im, rather than Lee and Lim. I guess this is a little dilemma. Anyone else have input on this?

Okay, take a deep breath with me, because the explanation for this is practically fast-forwarding to a more advanced part of Korean, but here it is as best as I can explain it:

In the Korean language, the "ㅇ" and "ㄹ" are semi-interchangable. You hardly see it in South Korea (only example I know of is in spoken form, but I know there are written examples used in South Korean dialects (just can't think of any written examples off the top of my head); when counting up using the Chinese-based numbering system, in written form, it's: 일 (il), 이 (ee), 삼 (sam), 사 (sa), 오 (oh), 육 (yook) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), but sometimes you will hear people pronounce the "육" as "륙" (ryook)). However, North Korean dialects retain this semi-interchangability a lot more (they, at times, spell the last names "이" (ee) and "임" (im) as "리" (lee) and "림" (lim)).

And, I hope, that explains why "이" is transliterated in English as "Lee".

Err. So does this mean I should change my example, or leave it?

Just leave it for now. I don't see how you can change your example without making your first Korean lesson way too complicated. Again, what I pointed out is something probably best left for a Korean lesson in the (distant) future.

이/리
They are both originate from the same chinese character 'Li'. However, phonetically in Korean, the pronounciation of 'Lee' is prounounced 'Yee' if it is the first character of the word.
In the past, it was correct to 'write' 리제동 (Lee Jedong) but it was still pronounced 이제동 (Yee Jedong). Obviously they changed it due to forseeable confusion (note: North Korea still uses this form where it is written as Lee Jedong, but pronounced Yee Jedong).

So using this rule what happens if the last name when it is no longer first character of the word?
Yep, it would become Lee

So both transcriptions:
Yee Je Dong
Je Dong Lee

would be acceptable

Did you just try to teach me my native language or did I read it wrong???

Also I'm 99% sure that the interchangeable Lee and Ee isn't because what you described roflmao. That's actually the first time I heard that explanation. I thought it was because how you naturally pronounce things with English, the North Korean explanation doesn't explain the Gim and Kim interchangeability.

Only on TLnet will someone try to explain how Korean works to a native Korean speaker with a 한글 <> English icon.

Seriously? Do people even try anymore?
