This rule falls under the rule: [[ㄱ, ㄲ, ㅋ + ㄴ, ㅁ]] where a /k/ sound [[받침]] collides with a nasal sound(ㄴ,ㅁ) and becomes a nasal sound also (ㅇ). Note that when ㄱ also appears in the double 받침 position, such as 읽다, that this rule applies as well. This rule also applies when the ㄱ is a 받침 and the next word's first letter is a nasal sound, i.e. (example needed!)
When a ㄴ, , or interacts with other consonants, sometimes it undergoes "nasalization."  Nasalization basically means it forces another consonant (and/or itself in the case of the ㄹ) to become a nasal sound (ㄴ, ㅇ, or ㅁ).
