can you tell me if 석류 is pronounced as seog nyu why it's translated to seokryu in english 🤔 I watched kdrama love next door and the female lead name is 배석류 and I realized that I've been pronouncing 석류 wrong all these time

i mean if u want to strictly following pronunciation for ur romanisation it will be like seongyu due to 받침 rules (the ㄱ being followed by ㄹ between the 2 characters changes the pronunciation) but if u are just reading the characters for what they actually are, its 석 seok and 류 ryu so seokryu? i think that looks better in english too + the wordplay of 석 seok from 석매튜 seok matthew would be lost if we romanised it strictly as seongyu to follow the pronunciation
