“…scientists have found that music stimulates more parts of the brain than any other human function. That’s why she sees so much potential in music’s power to change the brain and affect the way it works.”
The romanization is not based only on the literal translation of the hangul characters; it is based on how the characters actually sound when put together. For example, while many sites romanize “겁나” as “geobna,” the word should actually be pronounced as “geomna,” so I’ve romanized it this way to make it easier to understand.

The romanization is not based only on the literal translation of the hangul characters; it is based on how the characters actually sound when put together. For example, while many sites romanize “않기를” as “anhgireul,” the word should actually be pronounced as “ankireul,” so I’ve romanized it this way to make it easier to understand.
