"그들은 이름을 보르이게 했는 것": is this correct?
I want to say "the fact that they had their name called out". I mean it in a negative way. Is "이름을 보르이게 하다" the right way to say " have/make my name called by sb"? Does it sound natural and if not how could I say that to make sense in the sentence?

Question

Answer

They got mad at "the fact that they had their name called out"
