Whether it's watching a show like Squid Game or listening to BTS hits such as Butter or Dynamite, chances are you've had some kind of Korean influence in your life.

And now that South Korean influence has reached the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

The "accepted authority on the English language" has added 26 new words of Korean origin to its latest edition.

With these additions, "we are all riding the crest of the Korean wave" the OED says in a statement.

Korean food features heavily in the latest list, with some of the new additions including:

banchan, noun. - A small side dish of vegetables, served along with rice as part of a typical Korean meal.

bulgogi, n. - In Korean cooking: a dish of thin slices of beef or pork which are marinated then grilled or stir-fried.

kimbap, n. - A Korean dish consisting of cooked rice and other ingredients wrapped in a sheet of seaweed and cut into bite-sized slices.

With the international success of Squid Game, Parasite and BTS, it should come as no surprise South Korean pop culture is represented in the list as well.

hallyu, n. - The increase in international interest in South Korea and its popular culture, represented by the global success of South Korean music, film, TV, fashion and food.

K-drama, n. - A television series in the Korean language and produced in South Korea.

manhwa, n. - A Korean genre of cartoons and comic books, often influenced by Japanese manga.

mukbang, n. - A video, esp. one that is livestreamed, that features a person eating a large quantity of food and talking to the audience.

The OED said including so many Korean words was a recognition of the shift in language used by English speakers.

"They show how Asians in different parts of the continent invent and exchange words within their own local contexts, then introduce these words to the rest of the English-speaking world, thus allowing the Korean wave to continue to ripple on the sea of English words."

'A global mindset'

The success of Korean exports such as Squid Game or Parasite can be put down to greater global thought by cultural producers, according to Dr Hye-Kyung Lee from King's College London.

"It's been more than 10 years since the early success of K-pop, so Korean cultural producers have a global mindset," says Dr Lee, who researches culture and arts, looking at the rise of K-drama and K-pop.

She says characters in K-drama are ones people in the UK and internationally can relate to, despite the geography and language difference.

"The characters do not have a lot of hope, they don't have a future and just struggle to survive."

"These dramas or films are entertaining, and they have something unique which can strike a chord with people around the world."

"They present a critique of society and social economic conditions, which people can relate to through the characters."

She says the industry has caught up with Western countries in terms of cultural production and believe it will continue to grow.

"In terms of technology and talent, they are cutting edge and have a strong capacity to produce high quality products," she adds.

The rise of Korean culture

The success of South Korean exports in the UK has been happening for a while.

Back in 2012, you might remember Gangnam Style by rapper Psy, who became the first South Korean pop star to make it to the top of the UK singles chart.

Oscar-winning film Parasite is currently the highest-grossing non-English language film in the UK.

And pop group BTS became the first Korean act to score a chart-topping album in the UK - and appeared on Radio 1 this year, recording a special Live Lounge performance.

Squid Game is currently on track to be Netflix's most-watched series ever - it's in the UK top 10 list and 95% of the show's viewers are from outside Korea.

Loads of bug fixes
Some improvements to the app's performance

Good App - Technical Issues

I am really enjoying using this app! It has lots of good features, and I love playing the games. One thing that seems to be a persistent issue however, is when playing the games (when I get towards the end of the game) my screen goes white, the music continues but no game appears. Sometimes the timer continues and I just let it run out, but other times I have to close the app and reload it for it to work. It's a shame as it means I don't get the XP from that game, and it's even more annoying when I'm doing well, and then it goes wrong! But other than that it's been great!

Thank you for leaving a review. We have asked our development team to look into this problem. If you could email team@flashacademy.com with information about your device and screenshots of the issue we should have it fixed in a Flash! Thanks!

Its fine

I was really looking forward to learning new languages on the app, i had heard really good things about it! But then i saw there was premium, so i hoped it was not like other apps or games which force you to pay money because otherwise you cannot do anything. But after finishing the first lesson and i was eager to go onwards, until i tapped on the icon and it said i had to pay. As i mentioned before i was really excited and was thinking that this is the best free learning app but then you had to pay.

It is a good app if you are willing to pay between £3-£8 a month, and learning languages takes about one or two years so that is £72-£192 just to learn a language which you can do on other websites for free!

Hi there,
Thanks for your review! As our app doesn't have any ads, we offer our users the app on a subscription model! If you decide to buy the 12 months subscription, you are paying a little below 3£ per month! In comparison to our competitors we are on the lower price spectrum. I hope this helps :)

Interesting app

Very interesting resource, it has helped me to improve my German. I studied the language a few years ago and I wanted to pick it up again. FlashAcademy is perfect for brushing up! Now I can have basic conversations with my German friends and communicate with people when I go to Germany. Danke FlashAcademy!
