Spanish speakers often associate kimchi with the broader trend of comida coreana, which has seen a massive surge in popularity across Latin America due to the influence of K-pop and K-dramas.
Although kimchi is the Korean dish, Spanish speakers might confuse it with chucrut, the German sauerkraut, because both are fermented cabbage.
The word kimchi follows the pattern of many recent Korean loanwords in Spanish that bypass traditional Spanish phonology rules to preserve the original sound.
