Definition
People from Korea or those of Korean descent.
Etymology
From 'Korea,' the name of the East Asian country, with the suffix '-an' added to form the demonym (a word for people from a place). Korea's name has uncertain origins but may derive from the ancient kingdom of Goryeo.
Kelly Says
Korean culture has exploded globally in recent decades through K-pop, Korean dramas, and cuisine—it's remarkable how one nation's creative exports have made 'Korean' instantly recognizable worldwide. This represents a huge shift in global cultural influence from just 30 years ago.
