> In addition to pure Korean words, there's a surfeit of Sino-Korean (Chinese-derived), or Hanja words. Both of these are beautiful, and then the English loanwords stick out like a sore thumb.

I can recognize many Sino-Korean words and zero Korean words, so I tend to think of the Sino-Korean words as sticking out.
