Hmm... I have a question~

the "o" one... I know you use that before a silent consonant... so "yo" counts as a silent consonant?

yo as in "ㅛ"?

yes.... you have to put "o" so you pronounce it "요"

correct, you're a natural. vowels can't stand on their own so they need the silent cons.

now if it's put after a vowel, it makes an "ng" sound. so

용 = yo---ong

겅 = gung ("gung-ho")

but the "o" is silent, right?

oh I get it! because "yo" is considered a vowel!
