Don't ask me why. FYI the closest hangul character to 'L' is ㄹ. | ||

lolololol @OP it's not like TLPD is "wrong" now because you're still supposed to write Lee, not sth silly like Ee. That would just look stupid ^^ | ||

For korean, yep, the 이 is known as Lee, but the with the "L", it fits the chinese surname of Lee.. Partially since korean are once from China.. | ||

"Lee" LOL but in korean is "Ee" . koreans and chniese share many same last names but the language is different. maybe the romanization of korean names came from how chniese names were romanized? lol o_O i actually have no idea about this topic just bullshitting. | ||

There are romanization rules but for names people often make up their own romanizations for aesthaetic reasons. Lee is the most common romanization of the name '이', but sometimes you'll see Yi, I, Ri, Rhee (like 이승만/리승만 Seungman Rhee, first president of South Korea), etc... If you'd go by the rules, the romanization should be Ee, but that looks kinda stupid. | ||

Did you people find it interesting that the name of the president who killed himself recently was romanised as "Roh" when it should have been "No"? Why did they do it like that? | ||

임 = 林 As far as the hanja for Korean names are concerned. The characters, separately, are pronounced 리 and 림 respectively, but they are not pronounced in South Korea. However, in the North, 리 and 림 are both pronounced and spelled that way. | ||

They always say "pesseli" instead of science vessel, "depiloh" for defiler, "ribo" for reaver etc. Yes, for F/V. There is a W sound in Korean. ㅍ, the Korean equivalent of the letter "p", is used for v's and f's. | ||
