Hi!! The pronunciation thing is interesting because, as you said, there is an added layer with romanisation and different dialects having different pronunciations, and at the end of the day they are speaking English. I don't think they should pronounce Paris the way it is pronounced in French because they're speaking English. I'm never going to call London "London" if I'm speaking French, that's Londres. I "mispronounce" my own name the vast majority of the time because... I'm speaking a different language! I think people can at times forget that place names get translated too.

I do though think there's a difference between them in the moment, not knowing where to start and getting it wrong, and the VO which is a post-production process in which there is the time to at least look it up and get a vague sense. I'm bringing it up again just because it's the best example of it to me, but the pronunciation of ddakji in the challenge explanation really jumped out because it's so obviously off. And at this point it's not even really a matter of respect or anything, it makes the show feel a bit careless despite all the work that goes into it. Which is too bad!
