I'm not Korean, but I like their culture. :3

My family loves going to these Korean supermarkets where I live in the US (Zions, Freshia, H-Mart). The prices are so amazingly cheap!

Can someone clear something up for me? I read that ㄱcan be either "k" or "g", ㄷcan either be "d" or "t", ㅂcan be either "b" or "p", and ㄹcan be "r" or "l".....but how does one know which letter to use when romanizing? I sometimes see people romanize kimchi as "gimchi" and stuff like that.

Also, is there no set romanization for the hangul? Because when I watched this K-drama called You Are My Destiny on TV, the subtitles spelled the characters' names as "Saebyok", "Yunhui", "Subin", "Hosae" etc., whereas when I watched the early episodes that I missed online, the same names were spelled "Saebyuk", "Yoonhee", "Soobin", "Hose" etc.


Sorry, the hangul confuses me sometimes. xD;

I don't actually think it matters whether it's one letter or the other since it's just the pronounciation. You can use whatever makes you feel comfortable. And there usually isn't a set romanization for korean/hangul since in english, some of the letters can sound alike. (and yes, those letters that you put up do sound alike in english. if you ever notice, alot of korean people who are learning english have trouble pronouncing the words with d/t, b/p, and r/l XD)


[and wtf crying cheap H-Mart? Where? I live right next to one and I think the prices are becoming hideously expensive ;~;]

It's in the Diamond Jamboree Plaza in Irvine, CA. The parking in that plaza is pretty bad, though, and there's only one entrance in. But my mom said that the price is 3 cents higher than Zions and Freshia.

I haven't been to it, but I read on Yelp that the prices there are green onions 10 bunches for 99 cents, strawberries 99 cents per package, 5 garlic heads pack 50 cents, bananas 19cents/lb, spinach 3 bunches for 99 cents, etc.
