How to pronounce 의?
It kinda confuse me that I heard different pronunciations of it.
sometimes 'ee' , but sometimes it sounds like 에
e.g. 김희철 that is 'ee' sound, but 최고의 that is '에'sound.
is there any rule that it will change its pronunciation?
thank you very much!

I quote because it s pretty accurate:
- when it's at the beginning of the word, it's pronounced 의 {ui}
- if it's used at the end of the word as a possessive marker, it's usually pronounced as 에 {ae}. However, some Koreans pronounce it 의 {ui} in this case too
- If it's the end syllable of a word, it's normally pronounced 이 {long e}
As an example, 민주주의의 의의 (democracy's meaning/significance) is pronounced {민주주이에 의이}.
The {wi} pronunciation seems to be the most difficult for westerners to pick up. I have found that it is closest to the the French u, but with a more drawn out "ee" at the end. Contrary to the Romanized spelling, there is no 'w' sound.

에 is a wrong pronunciation. Just, Koreans say 에 instead of 의 because 에 is easier to pronounce than 의 but you should know that is a wrong sound.
Finally, 희 differs from 의.
희 is nearer to hee than ee.
