Could someone write that out phonetically or like in IPA or something, because I'm at a loss for how to pronounce the name

This'll be easy to remember, you'll all get used to it.

The transition from Hanbit Stars to Woongjin Stars took a day to remember.

SEUNG sort of like "sung" but its like sih-ung but together quickly, so seung.

HAHAHA That's pretty good.

I was gonna say its like Tsung (the mortal kombat character) but replace the "u" w/ an "o"

In either case, will you guys be pronoucing this aloud often??

God why would Lecaf change there name to that? It is such a bad name. Lecaf at least was pronounceable. Hwaseung just seems like gibberish to me...

I doubt anyone not fluent in korean would be able to pronounce the new name correctly.

They'll probably pronounce it Hway-sung, just like how they butcher Hwasin's ID.

damnit. Lecaf was one of the easier names to say, now, like Woonjing, we will have no idea how to pronounce/spell/shorten down, a teams name. hurrah...

Improve advertisement by changing a pretty good name to one that nobody can spell or pronounce?

Lecaf definately sounded better, I think changing the name to a longer Korean name limits the global potential of advertisement (English names in Korea usually easier to remember and seems to alienate less people surprisingly, and Korean companies with English names can attract more international customers since its easier for them to say&remember)

just keep calling it Oz

Yeah it makes sense on the language change from a Korean perspective, but isn't Lecaf a french word?
