Note: Romanized translations of Korean words would usually depend on how one would spell it. Most words differ on the occasion, on how they're being used in the sentence and who you're addressing it to.

P.S. I'm not an expert. I can't even speak fluent Korean. I just learned from watching dramas and some of my Korean friends. Please understand.
