Kieuk (letter: ㅋ; name: 키읔) is a consonant of the Korean Hangul alphabet. It is pronounced aspirated, as [kʰ] at the beginning of a syllable and as [k] at the end of a syllable. For example: 코 ko ("nose") is pronounced [kho], while 부엌 bueok ("kitchen") is pronounced [puʌk].[1][2][3]
Slang usage
In South Korean internet slang, the use of ㅋ (short for 크; keu) indicates laughter. Similarly, ㅎ (short for 흐; heu) is a lighter laugh than ㅋ. Either ㅋ or ㅎ can be repeated a number of times to this effect.[4]
