I've noticed there are a lot of English sounding words in Korean. Could someone explain why this is?

When two languages come in contact with each other, of course they will swap words.
I guess the English words that have drifted into Korean are partly due to US military presence there, which is a bit odd because when I was there, I noticed the transliteration followed British pronunciations instead of American. (eg. using 어 instead of 을 for borrowed words ending in "-r")
