British English pronunciation.

What is correct way to say One Direction? It яПНs the name of the group my pre-teens love.

Is it /dɪˈrekʃ(ə)n/ or /daɪ яПНrekʃ(ə)n/ ?

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for your replies.

These guys are really helping my students learn English! I wanted to make sure I was pronouncing the name of the group correctly. I speak American English but, since the boys are British, the name of their band is definitely the second option: wuhn /daɪ яПНrekʃ(ə)n/

Thanks again!
