How do you pronounce it?

Chelsi

While 첼시 refers to the London district, if you are talking to a Korean football fan, they will immediately assume you are talking about the Premier League club Chelsea.
In the context of Korean fashion magazines, 첼시 is sometimes used to describe the 'Chelsea boot' style, even though the word is primarily recognized as a geographic name.
The character 첼 is a combination of the consonant ㅊ and the vowel ㅔ with a bottom consonant ㄹ, a specific combination that almost never appears in indigenous Korean vocabulary.
