It's name's "Pink Been",not "Pink Bean"
#4
Don't trust what Koreans say the transliterated name is.

They thought "Night Load" was an appropriate title for a 4th job Thief.

The fact is that the name is Pink -something-, and this -something- is pronounced like this:

\ˈbēn\

The word "been" is not pronounced in this way. The word "bean" is. In addition, the word "being" is also not exactly correct due to the fact that it ends with a 'g' and that sound would be vocalized in his Korean transliterated name.

But folks, really. This is why transliterating a transliteration is a bad idea. Don't take a look at what the Korean thinks the English version of the word they borrowed from English is. Look at the original source.

Finally notice that his shape is not unlike that of a bean.

Seriously, why would you ever believe an incorrect spelling of an English word in a Korean game over logic?
