Nice to meet you, too. Thanks to 세종대왕 (Sejong Dae Wang, King Sejong) for creating a Hangeul, a stronger phonetic system. I look forward to its use for a long time to come.

Is that a Chinese form of the English word. Cheese? Or is it Japanese?

IIRC, the food, therefore the word, was introduced to Korea. It is a transliteration. Like "tae-kwon-do" is a transliteration from the Korean 태권도 (taegwondo).

Note: Korean is not my first language. It is first non-English script I've managed to learn to read and write and makes me happy every time I interact with it.

My read/spoken Korean is atrocious and barely functions.
