the original spelling is 스페스 , so koreans pronounce it as 'seu-pae-seu'.
but note that in the original manhwa, the term 스페스 is introduced with a bracket (spes). which i think means that they intended it to be pronounced as seu-pae-s.
a bit similar to how we say 'space'.
the reason for this is, korean alphabets do not end with the S sound. for example, they don't say 'bus', intead, they pronunce it as 'beo-seu'. or my fave group VIXX is pronounced as 'bik-seu' when talking in korean.

So I discovered that there are two initial chapters for this story tucked away inside Sebiro no Housekeeper. I wish I'd read those first, because this one makes more sense now...
Anyone know how we're supposed to pronounce spes? Speez? Spehz? Es-pee-ee-z? I don't speak Korean and I can't figure it out.
Now you confused me too lol

i hope this is understandable ^^
I pronounces it like Sp-ehz.
so the conclusion is, you can either pronounce it as 's-pae-s' (english way) or 'seu-pae-seu' (korean style).
*correct me if im wrong
yesssssss VIXX
So like the word "space".
Maybe like [spess]. You know when you pronounce specimen
That makes sense, thanks for the explanation!
