    Some strange things:

    > 대운상업고등학교 Daeyun Commercial High School

    It’s either “Daeun” or a stroke is missing in the hangeul (운/윤).

    > 서희 Sun-Hwi (short red hair)

    I see no ㄴ so where’s the “n” from?

    > 쓰메끼리파 Tsumekiri-Pa

    Why did you only use one “k” in the suffix -kkiri?

      Meh, I just realised that “쓰메끼리파” looks like Japanese 爪切り/つめきり (nail clipper) with mixed North/South Korean transcription. I’d have expected either standard South Korean transcription (쓰메키리) or standard North Korean transcription (쯔메끼리), not a mixture of both. Therefore I read 끼리 as the Korean suffix instead and assumed that the Japanese part ended after “nail.”

        Hey, thanks for your input!

        You are right about the school name. It should be “Daeun” so I will change that.

        And “서희” is actually “선희” Sun-Hwi (short red hair).

        And finally, “쓰메끼리파 Tsumekiri-Pa”. It is written like that in the manhwa. And I spelled it this way because they were probably trying to make it sound more Japanese (the head of the group is Japanese).

        Thanks! Let me know if you catch anything else!
        Criticism is welcomed.
