"K" is a System` Symbol

I just learned that K is a System` Symbol:

Information[K]
Context[K]

I learned this due to an error message:

Block[{K = 1}, Sum[j, {j, i}]]

The same message can be generated by the following:

K := 1
Sum[j, {j, i}]

The message can be eliminated by Removing K:

Remove[K]
Block[{K = 1}, Sum[j, {j, i}]]
K := 1
Sum[j, {j, i}]

Surely, this is not intentional.
