Wats with lezhin/official translators and the persistent fuckup with how Korean names are arranged??? It’s genuinely irritating to see coz they’re no reason y it can’t be translated as cha hyunho than some fuckass hyunho cha. Like tf is that fr. It legit IRKS
And I know it’s lowkey somn stupid to get pissed over but it just highlights for me this lackadaisical attitude to portraying the story as is that’s surprisingly prevalent in eng trans of manhwas these days coz I don’t remember shit being like this before. It’s the same with how hyung is translated to bro??? Like wtf are we on rn. No Korean introduces themselves as e.g. namjoon kim coz that’s bizzare. Kdramas alone are too popular for this flagrant nonsense to keep occurring in this media form. I honestly find it highly insulting as a reader.
I legit felt my lip curl up in irritation just seeing his name, all their names arranged that way ☹
Just irritating asf
