[@taehyungieswife2916]

You're not completely wrong though. Romanisation differ when it comes to Korean pronunciation. Like, take a word gwenchana (괜찮아), here the first letter in hungal 'ㄱ' sounds like 'G' or 'k' .. or in between 'g' and 'k' ..so you can say gwenchana/ kwenchana. Both can be correct.
