The '''Hyundai Group''' (meaning "modern" in [[Korean language|Korean]]) was founded by [[Chung Ju-yung]] in 1947 as a [[construction]] company and was once [[South Korea]]'s biggest [[Conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]] (''[[chaebol]]'').  The company was split into five business entities on [[April 1]], 2003 including [[Hyundai Motor Group]], [[Hyundai Group]], [[Hyundai Department Store Group]] and [[Hyundai Development Group]]. Hyundai is often pronounced incorrectly with 'hun-day' (US) and 'high-oon-die' (UK, Aus) classic examples which stem from advertising, the former of which was promoted as the caompaigns in the US and Australia and a phonetic reading of the English spellingny's official pronunciation (early U.S. advertising for the [[Hyundai Excel]] car told readers "It rhymes with Sunday"). The correct Korean pronunciation, {{IPA|[hjʌn.dɛ]}}, has 2 syllables and sounds like 'hyun-deh' where 'hyun' rhymes with 'shun'. The exact transliteration into English from Korean (under the current system, revisions take place from time to time) should be "Hyeondae" rather than "Hyundai".
