Question


Goddess of Fantasy

Why would they spell it as 'Ziyu' when that's not how it's pronounced?

I think thats how its pronounced in Chinese? Probably the most authentic way of pronouncing her name

That's her real name. But there's no way to pronounce it the same in korean (korean writing) so they use Tzuyu. I also thought that they could give her a korean version of her name like Joohee. But maybe they prefer Tzuyu, it's unique (:

i don't know how to explain this in english lol. i'll try tho

 

her name doesn't really sound like zoo-yoo like a lot of people seem to believe. it's more zÇ as in zuh (emphasis on the z) and yù as in yee. but the pronunciation of zÇ uses the third tone in mandarin so it's really hard for some people. so it's better to opt to call her zoo-yee tbh because that's the closest people can get without butchering her name lmao

 

and from what i know, isn't her name in korean more like joo-wi? which is why some people just call her chewy. bc i know wang joey is called wang johee in korea

 

edit: oh you wrote "joohee" and not "johee"
