If you speak Korean, you're at a huge advantage. I can name maybe six, I'm bad at naming names in RL, so I'm going to be screwed in a foreign language.
|
The bonjwas and a few more so 6-10
|
Might be more interesting to write them in Chinese and see what their names mean :D

People really should learn how to read the letters and start learning their names; it's really simple and it's a lot like English. Too many people asking who is who on livestreams -_-.

I agree. It took me 3 days of spending like 30 minutes studying the alphabet just enough for korean names to make sense. Since then I've never needed to ask who's who. I especially hate it when it has the team name next to the player name and people still ask.
