within korean, the names are split within three. so his name is lee mong ryong, with the korean r being pronounced between r and L. So you would try to say the letter "r" with your tongue in the place of how you would say the "L" letter. So you would say the r a little faster and it would flow into the y which is said like "yo". I hope this makes sense. This type of name is not like an everyday name for koreans and it sometimes weird for koreans to say as well. :)
Would I say it like "mong urr yong" although now I'm saying "mon gurre yong" oh dear. Well, it's better than mongynong.
the name "mong" is one name" and then the "ryong" is another name. so " mong urr yong" could be a great way to pronounce the name for someone that cant do the r/L sound. you can just call him "mong", which is a slang term for someone who is like stupidly spacing out/daydreaming(?). If you ever watch korean variety shows, when someone does something stupid, or spaces out, they have the caption "멍~~~~~~~~", which is mong. Just a fun stupid fact lol, but yeah seriously if you can even slightly pronounce his name, that's impressive enough :))). Also another fact about his name is that the name "lee" in korean is truthfully romanized as "i", but pronounced "eee", with your corner of mouth pulled back, so his name is eee mong (r/L)yeong.
Why didn't they just give him an easy name like chanwoo or dojun or taekyung or literally anything that isnt mongryeong haha. Thx for the help tho :)
lol yeah i feel you man, even koreans are like ?? why would you make me think so much when pronouncing his name?? llolll
I just call him mongynong cause idk how to say his name
