newbie question about 있는 - pronunciation?

[se80]

Ok, this might be a dumb question, but I'm still at the very beginning and I can't quite figure it out.

I assumed 있는 would be pronunced "issneun", but in the song I'm listening to it sounds more like "inneun". I went over the notes I took during the Pronunciation series, but I didn't find any mention of something about this (but I may very well missed it while taking notes in which case ).

I was wondering if the ㅅ is silent here and hence the pronunciation is "ineun" or if there's some kind of rule that, in this case, doubles the "n" sound?

Thanks in advance guys!

있 by itself is pronounced 잍 (eet). Naturally, if you add 는 to that, it becomes really difficult to say 잍 and then 는, so they kind of fuse to become 인는 (een-neun). Keep in mind that it's not silent, you have to pronounce the ㄴ type sound in both syllables i.e. not 이는 but 인는.

Thank you, Chris! That was very helpful!

Additional explanation.
Two pronunciation rules are there in your question.

Rule#1. 대표음 소리 법칙 (절음법칙) :
There's no other sound but 7(ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅇ) for ending consonant when the syllable stands alone.

악, 앆, 앍, 앇, 앜 are all pronounced as 악
안, 앉, 않 are all pronounced as 안
앋, 앗, 앚, 앛, 앝, 앟 are all pronounced as 앋
알, 앓 are all pronounced as 알
암, 앎 are all pronounced as 암
압, 앏, 앞 are all pronounced as 압
앙

Rule#2. 자음동화
Two consonants tend to be the same or similar sound.

읻 + 는 = 인는
일 + 는 = 일른
익 + 는 = 잉는
입 + 는 = 임는

Just because you want to know the rules.
Hope this helps,
