æspa and the æ pronunciation issues

i just call them A-E-S-P-A so i dont get confused

The same way ''OO''' in ''door'' sounds different from the OO in ''Loop''

Just wait.

SM should be finishing the Kwangya Dictionary rn.

I will explain

Except for the “ae-member”, all are pronounced like the ae in aespa (the first pronunciation you said, the “eh”).

Even naevis is pronounced “Na eh vis” if you listen closely. The æ symbol in phonetics is pronounced like that.

Now why the ae-members’ “ae” is a different pronunciation, it is because it’s not a regular word but it’s an acronym for “Alter Ego”.

It’s also play of words to sound like AI (artificial intelligence which what these ae characters can be classified as. Naevis is definitely an AI).

Okay wait, so in the first episode of SM culture universe, how they pronounce "ae" almost like "I" - that's the pronunciation that's the acronym for Alter Ego?

Yup

They say “aa yee” like saying AI or like saying the letters A-E fast (because it’s an acronym not the phonetic symbol “æ” which sounds like “eh”).
