Trivia
"얀샋ㄷ요무" is not an actual Korean word. It is a combination of Korean characters made by typing the English term "Distorted Yan" on a Korean QWERTY keyboard. The same approach is used in the original Korean text but flipped, where "enlxmfflsdis" is the result of typing the Korean term "뒤틀린얀" into an English keyboard. Currently, each language has a unique name for Distorted Yan.
