There's a significant amount of Japanese loanwords in modern Korean due to Japanese annexation(1910-1945/1965), as well as in modern Chinese to much lesser extent.

These aren't an indication of a shared vocabulary or ancestry, just loanwords for concepts that were novel and scientific by victorian standards.
