IIRC, the food, therefore the word, was introduced to Korea. It is a transliteration. Like "tae-kwon-do" is a transliteration from the Korean 태권도 (taegwondo).
Note: Korean is not my first language. It is first non-English script I've managed to learn to read and write and makes me happy every time I interact with it.
My read/spoken Korean is atrocious and barely functions.

I've read Dante's Inferno. Two things are true:
Though, the ninth circle — betrayal — is where many politicians, pundits, and the president of Israel belong. Frozen in the ice at the center of Hell.
Jewish communities are not monolithic. This, like the genocide itself, is a wedge issue. People are being forced to confront the reality and scope of these past 20 months, and the occupation writ large.
Let justice be swift and certain.
If more people realized this, life would be a lot more simple. I never grew up. I just got older.

Well, I guess we're not at full genetic mix yet.
Climate connection was also in my feed this AM.
Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries
Exclusive: Climate cost of war is more than than the combined 2023 emissions of Costa Rica and Estonia, study finds

I agree with funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works. Running cover for despotic regimes seems to be a pattern that 20th and 21st century American history is shot full of.
Please keep in mind that America backed Pol Pot as the head of state through that 1975 to 1979 genocide and for over a decade after.
Nice to meet you, too. Thanks to 세종대왕 (Sejong Dae Wang, King Sejong) for creating a Hangeul, a stronger phonetic system. I look forward to its use for a long time to come.
