Both are correct. They are easy to confuse because they have similar pronunciations, but there is a difference in their usage. "How" is a word that is used adverbally by combining "how" with "how" with "-ge," and "Oh My" is a word that reduces the phrase "how". Not only are the two different in meaning, but the former is a word, and the latter is a phrase, so the use of sentences is very different. 'How' is an adverbial use, so it modifies a variety of terms.
(1) a. What happened?
b. How do you handle this?
On the other hand, 'Oh My' is a complete phrase in itself, so it can be used as a predicate, but it cannot modify other terms.
(2) a. What should I do?
b. *How do I handle this?
"Oh My" is a word made up of "'" in "Ge" in "Oh My" and the remaining "ㄱ" attached to the support of the previous syllable. Since the sound is "how" and the word comes from "how to do," it can be said to write "how to do" by taking advantage of the original form.
