First, various Korean media sources were scrutinized todetermine the percentage of promotions that exhibited English and how it was utilized. Second, a surveyregarding the acceptance and perception of English in these promotions by the Korean consumer was conducted.Third, a vocabulary test of the most common English descriptive words utilized in Korean magazineadvertisements was given to Korean business students. It was determined that 59.5% of the advertisementscontained English words. The survey revealed evidence that English in Korean promotions is well received withthe majority agreeing that the English language is novel or exoticness. The twenty most commonly foundEnglish words presented in Korean magazine advertisements were only understood 58.5 % of the time by thebusiness college students surveyed.
