There\u2019s also a wide variety of new food listings, including the word for small side dishes, banchan; bulgogi, \u201ca dish of thin slices of beef or pork which are marinated then grilled or stir-fried\u201d; and the sushi-roll-like rice dish kimbap.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The oldest K-word in the OED, the blog post notes, is \u201cKorean,\u201d and was initially added in a 1933 supplement to the dictionary. It wasn\u2019t until 2016 that \u201cK-pop\u201d was added to the document, and it was in fact preceded in the OED by the addition of \u201ctrot,\u201d an older genre of Korean music originating in the early 1900s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the freshly added words are already well-known to many in the English-speaking world points to a significant shift in modern linguistics, the OED notes. That Korean words are being adopted into the English language demonstrates \u201chow lexical innovation is no longer confined to the traditional centers of English in the United Kingdom and the United States \u2014 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1143913980.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Blackpink\" class=\"wp-image-19704394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1143913980.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1143913980.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1143913980.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The K-pop group Blackpink performs at Coachella in 2019.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for Coachella<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
