How to pronounce ㅓ vs ㅗ in Coréen

ㅓ is an open 'uh/aw' — like the 'u' in 'cut' said with the mouth a bit more open, lips NOT rounded. ㅗ is a rounded 'o' as in 'go' but pure, no glide at the end. English merges both toward 'oh'; Korean keeps them as two different words (어 vs 오). The lips are the whole difference.
