I think Korean sounds more similar to Japanese than Chinese (it might also explain why I notice more Koreans being better at pronounciation). Some Koreans words seem to be shared with the Japanese, due to likeness of pronounciation, for example "washing machine" - 洗濯機(せんたくき)in Japanese and セータッキ in Korean.
