EX> Brazil, Singapore, Turkey etc...

EX> Sony...
3. Foods originated not in Korea are called in the original.
EX> Pizza, Cola ....
- Conclusion
Anything invented, created or made not in Korea is being used with its original sound using all over the world.
At this point, you may have a question how you guess where words from. I would like to give an answer understanding Korean cultural things is the best way to improve your Korean. I think any other language is NEVER understood without understanding its own culture
