레드벨벳
레드벨벳 is the Korean way to say red velvet.
Did you know?
- The phrase 레드벨벳 is most commonly associated with the world-famous K-pop girl group Red Velvet rather than the cake.
- While 'red' is 레드, if you were describing the color of a fabric in pure Korean, you would use 빨강 instead.
- Because it uses the English loanword, writing 레드벨벳 in a menu signals a modern, Western-style cafe rather than a traditional Korean bakery.
Examples in context

- 레드벨벳 케이크가 정말 맛있어요.Redu-belbet ke-i-keu-ga jeong-mal ma-si-sseo-yo.The red velvet cake is really delicious.
