DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Why is Ayu "ì•„ìœ " in Korean but the Korean singer IU is "ì•„ì´ìœ "? They're both pronounced the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Boy Like Troy 3,333 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Because Ayu is just "Ah-You". For IU you proonounce "I" like "Ah-EE" so it has to be "Ah-EE-You" Edit: They're not pronounced the same. It's a slight difference. IU's pronunciation is literally the letters "I" and "U" together. Ayu isn't like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Boy Like Troy 3,333 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I've never heard anyone say her name like that. Well "Ah-EE" is how you pronounce the letter "I". You don't pronounce "I" like "Ah" right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
