Yeah Modern Revised Romanisation transcribes ㅐ as “ae”, which works a lot better.
Though it introduces its own problems. For example, it transcribes ㅓ as “eo”, which causes English speakers to pronounce it as “ee-oh”. Take Jecheon (제천). Most English speakers would pronounce that as “jeh-chee-on”. A better pronunciation would be jae-chun (with “u” being the vowel in “gut”, or maybe jae-chon" (the vowel in “chop”).
I mean, based on the source, they’re still even on Twitter which is a lot more overtly fascist than WhatsApp. So…yeah…
