Personally I'd go with bigan because I don't like unassimilated loanwords, but it's up to you ... could be a mark of trendy, cosmopolitan people if they pronounce the [v]!

Given that almost everyone speaks English as well, it might just be copied ad verbatim. But probably "bigan" is the most likely outcome, with a partial spelling pronunciation.
