It only sounds weird to us cuz we dunno the meaning yea loll TT i was gonna re read official but gave up cuz specter is just cooler indeed
Honestly it probably means something related to specter, or phantom, or shadow. Because of his shadow power, I assume.
Yes you are right! I saw somewhere within the manhwa that it means something along the lines of what you said. It was on translation notes :D
What I meant by we don't know is that if we look at that word, we just process it as is. Even though we know the meaning, it still feels weird... XD unless we're a native that knows the meaning by heart and feels totally normal by it. I wonder if that makes sense? It's hard to explain..
The fan translation used a cool name, Specter. And then there's the official translation version LoL. Though I guess it made sense to register a name with your native tongue. I would do that too.
What I'm surprised though is all those foreign (to Korea) people being able to pronounce it. Though I guess since he's world famous, his name must've been mentioned a lot, so people would know by now, unless you're living under a rock.
