Question

Okay so this is kind of a language question, too. So, if I'm writing a story {this is for a class btw and my teacher knows} in two different languages {korean/english} and i want to add a couple of korean words in the dialogue, would i write the pronunciation or the korean symbols?

~~ also the story I'm writing {if anyone cares} is a taekook fanfic and so I want it to be as good as it can be... My teacher is a fan of bts and also is a taekook shipper so she agreed to let me write a fanfic for my finals ~~

Answer 1

Well it really depends on how much Korean you know personally i have watched people who are Korean, This helped me with some of the words, as they speak the language and you pay closer attention to what they say how they say it etc. Though it takes longer to catch up on as I can not just make a whole on sentence with that alone, so I would say learn some words then use those into that for a sentence maybe.

Answer 2

I think it depends if your readers know Korean. If not, it may be smarter to use romanized characters rather than the symbols. That way they can at least have an idea of how to pronounce those Korean words. Or, you could use the symbols and right the rom version beside it? Usually though, when writing in Korean you’d almost always use the symbols. Do what you prefer!!
