Usage Note
Coreano is both the adjective (Korean culture) and the noun for a Korean person (un coreano, una coreana). It also names the language (hablar coreano). The distinction between North and South Korea is expressed by adding del Norte or del Sur: coreano del Sur (South Korean). Note that Spanish uses a lowercase initial letter for nationalities and languages.
Examples
"El cine coreano ganó reconocimiento mundial."
