I'm going to send something to south korea to my gf, but when I write the mailing adress, do I write it in korean characters, or do I write my best in english pronounciation?

does it matter actually?

you think your US postal worker can read korean? lol

Ive done this before. i wrote two addresses down, english and chinese for the postal workers in each country. Just remember to write SOUTH KOREA in big font in the english address so they dont send it to some other country.

my mom made me write "Republic of China" before she realized my packages to taiwan got diverted to China.

Write it in english.

EDIT : There is a standard rominazation from Hangul to English. If you don't know it - write the address twice, once in Korean and once in English.
