More than 20 words of Korean origin have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary in its September update.
Over the past two decades, South Korea has churned out entertainment coveted by millions of fans, from K-pop -- added to the OED in 2016 -- to "Squid Game," the South Korean fictional drama billed by Netflix as possibly its "biggest show ever."Koreans use the term"hallyu" to describe the phenomenon, which refers to the"Korean wave" of entertainment that has swept across Asia and now much of the world -- and now this word has been added to the OED.
But not all of the recently added words are"borrowings, reborrowings, or loan translations from Korean," the OED said, adding that several words are either new formations, or"new senses of existing English words."The interjection"fighting!" is used to convey encouragement, incitement, or support -- much like"go for it!," the OED said.
