Korean
Kimchi's cultural origin
Korean refers to the people, language, and culture of Korea—the peninsula divided since 1945 into North and South Korea.
As a noun, a Korean is a person from either nation or of Korean descent.
The Korean language is unrelated to Chinese or Japanese, though it borrows vocabulary from both.
Korean cuisine features kimchi and barbecued meats.
