It appears that no one outside of Korea can seem to agree on how to properly pronounce the name Hyundai.
It's supposed to be pronounced as Hyundai, which means modern times in Korean.
Koreans kind of find it funny when the car brand they're so familiar with constantly gets referred to as Hyundai overseas.
This linguistic mess is actually a testament to how old the Korean company really is.
Hyundai was founded by Juang Chun back in 1947.
To give you some perspective, Korea had just been liberated from Japanese occupation in 1945 and didn't even officially adopt standardized romanization policies for Korean businesses until 1948, one year after Hyundai's founding.
So when Chong chose the English spelling Hyundai, he was just making what he believed was a practical business decision, thinking that Hyundai would be easier to pronounce for Westerners in an era where linguistic standards didn't even exist yet.
