You mentioned linguistics, but remember, linguists do this without the bias. Once you said one way is “better” (and closer to the original ≠ better), you kind of threw the linguistics part out the window. It’s a very interesting video nonetheless to see how it works in the two countries.

I'm Korean and 찌스 would be pronounced like jji-seu (the 'seu' sound being similar to the s sound in 'house'), which sounds nothing like cheese

찌스 (jjiseu) ignores both the “ch” and /z/ sounds. 치즈 preserves the “ch” and better approximates the /z/, which is why it’s the standard.

The one that hung me up one of my first days in Korea was Fanta. I was trying to order a drink at a restaurant. I tried 판타, I tried just saying ‘Fanta,’ eventually I just gave up and said 오렌지 콜라 or something like that. Only later would I learn it’s called 환타. 환타???? Where are you getting the hw from??

Language changes so much over time it doesn’t make sense to police it that strictly.

So basically, you don't like [z] as ㅈ in (South) Korean. In the word 치즈, the ㅈ is realized as [dʑ] because it is between two vowels. I think ㅈ is the closest sound Korean could get to a [z] because they are both voiced and sibilants. It could be argued as a case of fortition, too, when a sound becomes stronger. 치스 is pronounced chi-sseu, and I think the ㅅ is not that accurate for the South Korean ear because the voiced quality of [z] is very salient for them and ㅈ more accurately could represent that.

i wonder if this is why the group SECRET has a song called Magic where it’s pronounced Mazik instead of Magic (even though they pronounce Magic correctly in the beginning of the song)

A lot of the words are also from Japanese pronunciations. I wonder if cheese was from that.

Leo :
치즈 sounds more like ‘cheese’ than 찌스. ㅊ is closer to ‘ch’ than ㅉ, and yes, ‘cheese’ has an ‘s’ in it, but we pronounce it like ‘z’ in english. (It’s pronounced like ‘cheeze’, not ‘cheese’). So the ㅈ serves that purpose better than ㅅ.
