*Case 3: 'ㅋ' [[받침]] + 'ㄴ' or 'ㅁ' →  ㅋ gets pronounced as ㅇ(/ŋ/)
 
*Case 3: 'ㅋ' [[받침]] + 'ㄴ' or 'ㅁ' →  ㅋ gets pronounced as ㅇ(/ŋ/)
  
In the [[받침]] position, ㄱ, ㄲ, and ㅋ all make the same sound, and when followed by a nasal sound ㅁ(/m/) or ㄴ(/n/), the ㄱ sound must also match the nasal sound and becomes an ㅇ (/ŋ/) nasal sound. 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. "부엌 문."
