It is much closer to G than to K. You are correct that it happens in the back of the throat but is very slightly voiced.

This lesson is fantastic! I am using this song with my 3rd graders next week. Just a heads up that the link you shared for the pronunciation and video takes us to the wrong place… I think this is the link you mean!

Love this! I am a flute teacher… in addition to these notes being very suitable for early players, I also have a number of Korean students. I can’t wait to incorporate this song in our repertoire. Many thanks!

Thank you for your comment.
Yes. The double consonant of the KK (ㄲ) is produced near the throat. Here’s the link to the video of the pronunciation of the lyrics. Hope this helps!

From what I know about Korean pronunciation, the double consonant of the KK is produced at the back of the mouth almost near the throat, whereas the Italian double consonant “cc” is produced with the middle/front of the tongue. Does that sound right? I am loving this song and so are my students! My husband is half Korean and he fondly remembers singing it as a child. Thanks for sharing!

Betty P here! I wondered the same thing as Becky H.
My google search lead me to; https://www.90daykorean.com/korean-double-consonants/
Double consonants are emphasized–maybe like they are in Italian?
