Did you know?
- Because Korean lacks a direct 'f' sound, the letter ㅍ is used, which sounds more like a breathy 'p' to English ears.
- In pop culture, the global fame of BLACKPINK's Jennie has made the sound 제니 more recognizable to Koreans than the full name 제니퍼.
- In Korea, foreign names are often shortened to a two-syllable nickname, so a 제니퍼 might be called 제니 by friends.
