Last year, Oxford added the words “Korean origin” to the English Dictionary!  This year you will be able to find more “K” words that include “K-pop,” K-drama, K-beauty, K-food and K style.

The new words include hallyu - the Korean original for the wave of pop culture that has made BTS one of the world’s most popular bands and Squid Game the Netflix sensation of 2021.
