Word-final nasal vowels of French loawords are pronounced "-Vŋ" in Swedish too. For example restaurang, kupong, balkong, ballong etc. And poäng! It's my favourite French word in Sweden along with pjäs😆(they are spelled 'point' and 'pièce' in French)

French nasal vowels are adapted as Vŋ in Korean as well
