Aliza 985 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Am I the only one who hates it when authors post the 3-4 Korean words they know every chance they get in a fanfiction? Certain words can be excused because it's kinda weird to translate "hyung" because it means more to them than "brother" does to an English speaker, but I find it so annoying to read when someone posts "Waaaaaeeeee!?!", "Ne!", "Arraseo", etc. Is it just me that finds this really annoying?

Alicent 343 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I agree so much cringeworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliza 985 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's like an author thinks it's special that they know a few Korean words. Chances are if someone is reading a Kpop fanfiction they know the words too and they're not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamaber 3,052 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I used to hate it (long time ago lol), but it got me looking into those Korean words I didn't know the meaning of, so I got to learn some new words. Most of the Korean words used in fanfics are now words I know, but at least now I find it cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93_L 75 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 You're not alone, I totally dislike it too. Like chincha, waegurae and all other basic words they can think of. For me, only terms like oppa, unnie, noona and hyung should be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
