konglish is a thing. it is a word in the english lexicon. apparently.
basically in korean there are a lot of english loanwords that have been modified in some way
from what i understand konglish is used mainly to describe words that have been abbreviated or have had their meaning changed? one example of a loanword that's had its meaning completely changed is 원피스 (won pee su/one piece), which is "dress" in korean
im just sitting here like. who exactly decided that KONGLISH would be a good name for this??
konglish sounds like it'd be a conlang using exclusively sprites of donkey kong 64 collectibles for the writing system or something
now i have this burned into my head whenever i'm studying loanwords 😭

Thoughts on English names in Korean
I have been trying to Konglishify English-speaking-people’s names and it has come to my attention that most of the traditional spellings that are provided are not how the name owner would prefer it spelled.
I think the issue is that translators are prioritizing the spelling over the pronunciation.
Also people just have preferred variations to how someone would say their name if the normal lettering is unavailable.
Examples of preferred spellings, from ppl i have asked:
Diana: 다야나
Robby: ㄹ오비
Jessica: 제세카
David: 데옏
Keep in mind that not all ppl would necessarily prefer this, this is just individual preferences.

RELATIONSHIP WITH SEVENTEEN <> MAKNAE LINE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MINGHAO - guide in life
THEN: Minghao was excited to have another Chinese member join them, even if they were a girl and could cause controversy amongst media and fans. While the other members fussed over Cyana whenever she was upset, Minghao would be the one to treat her normally, opting to distract her from her brooding thoughts instead. Cyana learned a lot of life skills from Minghao. NOW: Minghao and Cyana still have that iconic zen friendship. Whenever life gets a bit too much, Minghao is the one Cyana runs to. He keeps her life in balance, as he nags encourages her to eat healthily, sleep early, to meditate and to join him for tea ceremonies. On the other hand, Minghao and Cyana love gossiping in Chinese, knowing it's annoying the others that they cannot understand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DK - sunshine duo
THEN: DK and Cyana bonded almost immediately despite the language barrier. All it took was one blazing smile from DK and a shy one from Cyana for them to become best friends. DK basically adopted the girl and people began to notice how bubbly and open Cyana would be around him. NOW: The childlike glow around their friendship hasn't faded despite both of them growing up. Cyana shines the brightest around DK and vice versa. When either of them is feeling down, the other never fails to do something extra goofy to cheer them up. Coined as the "sunshine duo," Cyana is often dragged into skits by DK to entertain fans.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MINGYU - visual double kill
THEN: Having a new member only excited Mingyu, despite it being a girl. Sure, he was a little nervous at first, but he got over it just as quickly. Cyana loved bantering with Mingyu, as they both spoke broken konglish in fit of giggles. They paired perfectly as a black cat / golden retriever duo. NOW: As they grew up, both of them never ceased to be the group's visual double kill. They often graced magazine covers together and went on weverse live to eat and interact with fans. Cyana's Mingyu's personal taster when it comes to his cooking, and in return he is often the first to taste her baking. Fans often liken the duo to a dog and its girl, as Mingyu is often photographed following behind Cyana with a big ol' grin on his face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SEUNGKWAN - gossip buddies
THEN: In the beginning, Cyana was a bit put off by how energetic and loud Seungkwan could be. It tired her out easily, but with more time, Seungkwan became her go-to person for easy comfort. He often knew exactly what she needed at the moment and would always invite her out on impromptu outings for fun. NOW: Seungkwan played a big part in breaking Cyana's shell, allowing her to become the confident person she is today. They are the best gossip buddies now that the language barrier does not restrict them, and love being fangirls/fanboys together. Seungkwan still invites Cyana everywhere with him when they have time, introducing her to his idol friends outside of seventeen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
VERNON - goofball twins
THEN: Similar to Joshua, Vernon was excited to have a new member from the US, even more excited when he heard it'd be someone close in age. Vernon was the one that Cyana could often let her guard down and just....exist. His goofy antics miffed her a bit in the beginning but she grew to love his quirks, even adopting some of them for herself. NOW: Vernon and Cyana are movie buddies and often roommates while on tour. They love trading movie reviews (running a secret and joint letterboxd account). Vernon's the one Cyana goes to in times of distress, knowing he won't scold or fuss over her like the others might do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DINO - twin maknaes
THEN: Dino was excited to have his wish - to have a friend his age in the group - finally granted. He was a little worried when the friend turned out to be a girl, but his outgoing nature befriended Cyana easily despite the language barrier. They were attached at the hip, babied by their members and company staff. NOW: Being the same age and growing up together, experiencing the same things close in time resulted in them being the closest duo within seventeen. They grew into natural sibling energy, with little fights, teases and a generally good time. Both known as the future of Kpop, they often push each other to do better and are each others biggest cheerleaders.

"Okay then if you're not mad then what are you?" Mu-yeol hissed, throwing up his hands. "It's like, why do I ever try talking to you?"
He sped up a couple steps ahead of Nemo.
"Just, I'm asking you to articulate your feelings and you won't, I don't understand!"

Translation Yunjin x 6th member
Scenario: Yunjin translating everything for y/n because they’re bad at Korean
Just a quick little scenario in this long drought
Even though you’ve lived in Korea for a year now, you still struggled with the language. Chaewon would spend about two hours daily teaching you Korean, and would only let the girls speak to you in Korean, which made Eunchae sad at times because of the language barrier when she saw your brows furrow in confusion when she would tell you about her day. Though you weren’t completely lost with the language, being able to understand it well just not speak it as well. So during interviews, live streams and filming, Yunjin had took it upon herself to translate whatever you said so that you could learn how to say certain words and so that everyone else could understand your broken konglish.
“Ah Yunjin unnie you didn’t have to translate for me” you pouted. You stood backstage with the girl as she playfully rolled her eyes. “Someone had to do it” she laughed at your attempt at speaking Korean once again.
“I’d never thought your Korean would be more bad than Kazuha trying to write in Korean” Yunjin sighed, earning a slap on the arm from Sakura who appeared behind her.
“yah! leave Kazuha alone. She’s getting better”
