Korean Language in North and South Korea: The Differences

https://www.daytranslations.com/blog/2018/05/korean-language-in-north-and-south-korea-the-differences-11414/

This article says, "As early as 2002, about 24,000 were already added to the South Korean lexicon." That would be from the time of the Korean conflict. I think the influx of new words has expanded greatly since that time due to the acceleration of international commerce, media and technology, but I may have, as an outsider, "exaggerated" the nature of the problem.

Don't the French, have some institutional body that regulates that language?
