One thing that mildly infuriates me is aespa’s official stylised name is just wrong according to the IPA chart.
aespa is pronounced like es-per correct? The ae sound in their name would match that of what you hear in the word “friend”. However their name is stylised as æspa.
The æ sound is used to transcribe the ah sound, like apple. /æpl/
How aespa is pronounced would be transcribed as /ɛspə/
Basically when you say æspa linguistically you’re calling them “asspa”
