A soft g, similar to the way gymnasium or giraffe is pronounced.

Also, the acronym was created to be a play on the peanut butter. So I believe it should be pronounced like the peanut butter.

To those of you defending your pronunciation because in the acronym the G stands for graphics, a word with a hard g, how do you pronounce CERN? The C stands for Conseil, so I imagine to be logically consistent you would say KERN?

In any case, I don't care about your logical consistency. Pronounce it however you like as long as a sizeable portion of the population pronounces it that way.



Citation needed for the bolded.
Also I'm pretty sure more people pronounce it the "wrong" way.
