Edit: Fun fact, it's apparently a city in South Korea as well (Google maps link) And there it is romanized as DongNaeGu | ||

Also if you look up Mizu's hangul lessons, you would come to the same conclusion. Is there a certain rule when a circle is next to ㄹ it turns into an N sound? | ||

Is there a certain rule when a circle is next to ㄹ it turns into an N sound? As far as I'm aware, yes. There are other rules where sounds change, e.g. ㄴ + ㄹ = ㄹ + ㄹ. A super common one being ㅂ + ㄴ = ㅁ + ㄴ (think 입니다). Equally so, I'd imagine that there are exceptions or as Chill has said, maybe some Koreans just say it as is, without changing the consonants. | ||

If this is true, wouldn't this make his ID DongNaeGu, instead of DongRaeGu, or do you just disregard situational pronunciation when romanising and just treat each character as its own? I literally just read this and I was like "this rule exists?" and then I read DRG's name out loud and I realized I pronounced it DongNaeGu lol | ||

So the Hangeul uses 'ㄹ' but it's pronounced 'ㄴ' It's pretty common in Korean, a good example is 왕십리 (Wangsimni), which would directly be romanised as 'Wangsibri' (but it's not) | ||

I referenced the names they give each one in the book and she didn't know what I was talking about until she looked at the words. She just said,"I'm glad I just know how to pronounce these from growing up speaking the language. There are too many little rules to remember!" | ||
