Can you pronounce Korean name "Seong" ? I need your answer urgently!! Hi, I am a Korean student and I wish I wanna go America as a exchange student. I'm planning to make a passport and write my Korean name in English, and I'm curious about how you pronounce "Seong". 성 is translated into Seong or Sung by the rule of Korean romanization. Thus, I can choose one between Seong and Sung. Actually, 성 sounds like a Sung, which is the past participle of sing. ex) sing-sang-sung). But, I suppose some people will speak my name such as "Soong.'" Do you understand what I mean? When I choose "Seong", (same sounds "Sung" in Korean). Can you pronounce it correctly when you read my name in a document ? Can nobody stumble? I am not sure because I am not a native speaker, so I need your help. What do you think of them? and Which one is better for me? :)
