romanization

1. Is this the standard romanization for these consonants, or a personal version. If the latter, this should be reverted to Popo, no matter if bpo bpo is more acoustically accurate. For example japanese Ramen is actually pronounced closer to Lamen, but "Ramen" is the correct romanization.
2. ALSO: This article should be reverted to Popo if ABC's official transcripts list Popo.

• Was there discussion about this move, because I can't find it.

• • I've since found some unofficial URLs (televisionwithoutpity.com, filmfodder.com, lost-forum.com) that use "Bpo Bpo". Still, some clarification would be great, or better yet an official source from ABC. -- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T01:40, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

• I'm not a native Korean speaker, but I thought they used a similar romanization standard as Chinese Pinyin, to my knowledge, and I always understood that this consanent sound is simply spelt with a "P"... see wikipedia page... for example, in the Korean word for dumpling which has a similar sound (Panjeon). However, again, I'm not a native speaker and would feel better if we had one confirm that. --PandoraX 09:43, 25 December 2006 (PST)

• I don't know if this helps any, but in the closed captioning and in subtitles, it says "Bpo Bpo". --Aero*Zeppelin 16:42, 27 April 2007 (PDT)
