MapleStory 2, welcome.

This sort of pomegranate throws me off. If this is supposed to be the past, why is he there?



I am just now starting to learn Korean. It is my understanding that ㅂ can be read as B or P. Is this true?

ㅂ can be B, P, V and M depending on context.
If it is capitalized(ㅃ, it has a stronger B(almost P) sound, where it is more like a B sound when it isn't capitalized(ㅂ. Usually, when a word starts with ㅂ(발렌타인스=Valentines), it is a V, but it can also be B(불 = bul(fire)).
However, if the letter is on bottom of the sign(합 in 감사합니다, it is an M. 감사합니다 = Gam-sa-ham-ni-da. It means thank you.
Another situation where it is B or P, and it is on bottom of the sign(입력, is when the sign starts with a ㅇ(has no sound). 입럭 = Ib-lyuk.

I hope this makes sense.
