2023-2024 South Korean Figure Skating

[Ichatdelune]

This week the JGP circuit starts, which means that Ted will most likely be butchering our skaters' names. To make sure that at least GS members know how their names are actually pronounced, I'm doing my annual recording upload. This time I'm writing down how you're supposed to pronounce them as well (based on American English pronunciation). I'm going to upload everyone that I can remember, but if you have a skater you'd like to see added please tell me.

Women

Choi Dabin (chweh dah been)
Han Heesue (hahn hee soo)
Hwang Jeongyul (h-wahng jung yule)
Kim Minchae (gim meen cheh)
Kim Seoyoung (gim suh young)
Kim Yelim (gim yeh rim)
Kim Yeeun (gim yeh en)*
Kim Yujae (gim yoo jeh)
Kim Yuseong (gim yoo sung)
Ko Nayeon (go nah yawn)
Kwon Minsol (gwon min sole)
Lee Eun (ee en)*
Lee Haein (ee heh in)
Lee Hyorin (ee hyo rin)
Park Eunbi (bahk en bee)*
Park Yeonjeong (bahk yuhn jung)
Park Inkyong (bahk in k-young)
Shin Jia (shin gee ah)
Song Siwoo (sohng shi oo)
Wi Seoyeong (we suh young)
You Young (yoo young)
Youn Seojin (yoon suh jean)
Yun Ahsun (yoon ah sun)
Ji Seoyeon (gee suh yawn)

Men
Cha Junhwan (cha joon hwahn)
Lee Sihyeong (ee see h-young)
Cha Younghyun (cha young h-yawn)
Lim Juheon (eem joo hun)

Lee Jaekeun (ee jeh k-en)*
Kim Hyungyeom (gim h-yawn g-yaw-m(a bit like guillaume said really quickly))
Kim Hangil (gim hahn gil (like fish gills))

* 'eu' is 'ㅡ', a phoneme that doesn't exist in English. It's made by making the 'oo' sound with straight lips.

will Batman wear a blouse making Junhwan playing Bruce at a tea party?

Maybe? His costume designer is known for her blouse shirts, but maybe she'll come up with something different. I just hope it looks good on my darling

it would be nice seeing him in a different outfit for a change but he wore a blouse skating to Michale Jackson so i'm not confident

He wears what his designer gives him, if you want to see him wear something different you'll have to convince her
