Korean BBQ is cooked at the table by diners to their preference, so doneness terminology is primarily for steakhouse contexts. Phonetic English borrows are standard. For raw beef (Yukhoe, 육회), different terminology applies. Korean home cooking traditionally prefers Wel-deon for safety and texture.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
