    Yeah “hun day” isn’t too bad. I’m not Korean myself, but I think I prefer that pronunciation to “hi-oon-day” which is what I usually hear.

    “Hun day” kind reminds me of “win” as a pronunciation of Vietnamese “Nguyen”. It’s obviously wrong, but it works pretty well as a pronunciation that uses phonemes and phonotactics common to English.
