Anyone know how we're supposed to pronounce spes? Speez? Spehz? Es-pee-ee-z? I don't speak Korean and I can't figure it out.

    the original spelling is 스페스 , so koreans pronounce it as 'seu-pae-seu'.

    but note that in the original manhwa, the term 스페스 is introduced with a bracket (spes). which i think means that they intended it to be pronounced as seu-pae-s.

    a bit similar to how we say 'space'.

    the reason for this is, korean alphabets do not end with the S sound. for example, they don't say 'bus', intead, they pronunce it as 'beo-seu'. or my fave group VIXX is pronounced as 'bik-seu' when talking in korean.

    i hope this is understandable ^^

    so the conclusion is, you can either pronounce it as 's-pae-s' (english way) or 'seu-pae-seu' (korean style).
