Korea's dating show for the terminally ill sparks debate ahead of premiere
기사 요약: 연애 프로그램 “내 남은 연애”는 오는 8월 첫 방송을 앞두고 시한부 소재로 시청자들의 갑론을박을 불러일으키고 있다. 해당 프로그램은 시한부 선고를 받았거나 죽음의 문턱까지 갔던 투병 경험이 있는 2030 청춘들이 다시 삶과 사랑을 마주하는 연애 리얼리티다.
[1] SBS' new reality dating show "Love Against Time," featuring contestants in their 20s and 30s who have received terminal diagnoses in the past or experienced life-threatening illnesses, is drawing scrutiny over the ethics of turning such deeply personal experiences into entertainment ahead of its August premiere.
-
reality show: 일반인들의 실화 중심으로 연출되는 TV쇼
-
terminal diagnosis: 말기 진단
-
life-threatening: 생명을 위협하는
-
draw scrutiny: 조사·검토·비판의 대상이 되다
[2] The show's official teasers feature cast members opening up about their experiences, with some saying they have had limited opportunities to date because potential partners were reluctant to be with someone who had been seriously ill. Others describe romance as something they once considered a luxury they could not afford.
-
open up” 마음을 터놓다
-
opportunity: 기회
-
reluctant: 꺼리는
-
romance: 사랑의 기운, 연애 감정
[3] Public reaction to the series has been divided. Supporters have praised the concept for creating an opportunity for people with shared experiences to meet potential partners, something they may have found difficult to do in their everyday lives. Others have emphasized that the participants should be respected for choosing to share their stories publicly.
-
divided: 분열된
-
praise: 칭찬
-
difficult: 어려운
-
emphasize: 강조하다
[4] The debate centers on whether the series risks turning their vulnerable circumstances into a form of entertainment and ultimately commodifying their personal struggles for the sake of a compelling TV premise.
-
debate: 논쟁, 논란
-
vulnerable: (~에) 취약한, 연약한(신체적·정서적으로 상처받기 쉬움을 나타냄)
-
commodify: 상업화하다
-
compelling: (너무나 흥미로워서) 주목하지 않을 수 없는

You came for an old song. Then stayed for someone’s life story
기사 요약: 유튜브 명곡 영상 댓글창에 자신의 추억과 이별, 가족 이야기 등 개인적인 사연을 남기는 문화가 온라인 공감 공간으로 자리 잡고 있다.
[1] Music lovers often arrive on YouTube looking for a tune. Then they find themselves reading about someone’s first love, an ode to a mother or father or about a parent’s unconditional love for their child.
-
lover: ~을 좋아하는 사람
-
tune: 곡; (악기의) 음을 맞추다; (기계를) 조정하다
-
ode: (특정한 사람·사물·사건에 부치는) 시
-
unconditional love: 조건 없는 사랑
[2] The comment sections under a YouTube video from an old Korean ballad, a 1990s or 2000s pop hit or a nostalgic drama soundtrack often feel less like a place for reveling in the music itself and more like a shared diary where strangers leave their memories of love, grief and moments that certain songs refuse to let fade.
-
nostalgic: 향수를 불러일으키는
-
revel in: (어떤 감정이나 상황을) 만끽하다
-
grief: 큰 슬픔
-
fade: 점차 희미해져 사라지다
[3] For one user, Park Ji-yoon’s “Illusion,” released in 2000, helped her through school violence, just like how the song explores the lingering pain of heartbreak and unfulfilled love.
-
illusion: 환상
-
explore: 탐험하다
-
lingering: (쉬 끝나거나 사라지지 않고) 오래 끄는
-
unfulfilled: 실현되지 않은
[4] Unlike social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where identity is often central to the experience, experts say YouTube’s anonymity may be what makes the space feel safe. Anyone can read the comments, meaning users often write to strangers rather than people they know, making it easier to share memories, grief and regrets with strangers in ways they might not with friends or family.
-
experience: (어떤 일을 실제로 겪거나 당한) 경험
-
anonymity: 익명성
-
memory: 기억; 추억
-
regret: 후회

[1] International visitors to Korea are moving beyond wearing hanbok for photos and are now making their own traditional accessories to take home.
to move beyond A: A를 넘어서다, A에서 한 단계 더 나아가다
[2] Hands-on workshops where tourists craft "norigae," ornamental pendants hung from hanbok, and "daenggi," traditional ribbons used to tie braided hair, are gaining popularity as travelers seek participatory cultural experiences over sightseeing.
hands-on: 직접 해보는, 체험형의
participatory: 참여형의, 참여하는
[3] According to Creatrip, an inbound travel platform, reservations for traditional accessory-making experiences rose about 23 percent from January to May compared to the same period last year. Bookings for workshops in Hongdae more than doubled over the same period.
compared to the same period last year: 전년 동기 대비
[4] By nationality, Japanese travelers accounted for the largest share of bookings at 30 percent, followed by Americans at 17 percent. European countries, including Germany, Italy, France, Poland and Spain, accounted for a combined 17 percent.
account for: (전체에서 일정 비율을) 차지하다
[5] The trend coincides with the global popularity of K-content that reinterprets traditional Korean elements in modern settings, such as the Netflix animated film "KPop Demon Hunters." Traditional accessories are increasingly seen not just as souvenirs but as items reflecting personal taste and style.
reinterpret: 재해석하다
not just A but B: A일 뿐만 아니라 B이기도 하다

in connection with: ~와 관련하여
[3] Jang’s court-appointed lawyer told the court that Jang accepted the prosecution’s account of the crime. Asked by the judge whether he agreed, Jang answered, “Yes.”
court-appointed lawyer: 국선 변호인

[4] It was the first time Jang had admitted a sexual motive since his arrest on May 5.
motive: (범행) 동기
[5] He had previously said he planned to take his own life and had tried to bring someone with him, saying that the killing had not been planned as a sexual offense.
take one's own life: 스스로 목숨을 끊다

Cooler late June, delayed monsoon: Is Korea’s summer just warming up?
기사 요약: 예년보다 늦어진 장마의 영향으로 한국은 평년의 6월과 달리 비교적 선선한 날씨를 보이고 있다. 기온은 점차 오르고 있지만 아직 장마전선이 본격적으로 형성되지 않아, 당분간은 산발적인 소나기가 이어질 것으로 전망된다.
[1] Summer is in full swing in South Korea, but it doesn't feel like the late June most Koreans have come to expect.
in full swing: 한창 진행 중인, 절정에 접어든
[2] While temperatures are forecast to climb to 33 degrees Celsius in Seoul on Monday and exceed 30 degrees across much of the country's inland areas, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the muggy air that usually blankets the country this time of year has yet to take hold due to the delayed monsoon.
be forecast: 예보되다. (forecast: 예보하다)
exceed: 초과하다, 넘다
muggy: 후텁지근한
blanket: (담요로) 감싸다. 뒤덮다

[3] Last year, the monsoon began on Jeju Island on June 12, reached the country's central and southern regions on June 19, and lasted until mid-July. This year, however, the seasonal rain front has yet to form, with only scattered showers falling in place of prolonged monsoon rainfall
scattered: 산발적인, 산재한

Outgoing coach, players return home to boos after World Cup exit
기사 요약: 32강 진출에 실패한 월드컵 국가대표팀 홍명보 감독과 일부 선수들이 30일 새벽 인천국제공항을 통해 귀국했다. 탈락의 책임을 지고 사퇴한 홍 감독은 축구 팬들의 야유 속에 공항을 빠져나갔다.
[1] Former head coach Hong Myung-bo and a few of his players for the South Korean men's national football team were met with boos from angry people as they returned home Tuesday from a short stay at the FIFA World Cup.
be met with boos: 야유를 받다
[2] Hong and nine of his 26 players landed at Incheon International Airport, just west of Seoul, in the wee hours of Tuesday, a little over 24 hours after Hong announced his resignation from the post to take responsibility for South Korea's exit from the World Cup after the group stage.
land: 착륙하다
post: 직책
exit: 탈락
[3] South Korea finished third in Group A with three points from a win and two losses. The Taegeuk Warriors began the competition by defeating the Czech Republic 2-1, but suffered successive 1-0 defeats against Mexico and then lower-ranked South Africa.
finish third: 3위로 마치다
defeat: 꺾다, 이기다
[4] With the eight best third-place teams out of 12 also getting a chance to play in the knockout round, along with the top two nations from each of the 12 groups, South Korea ended up 10th among the dozen teams that finished third in their groups.
knockout round: 승자 진출식의 (우승자만 다음 단계로 올라가는) 라운드

Why pay more? Young Koreans are opting for DIY wedding shoots
기사 요약: 비싼 '스드메' 패키지 대신 직접 결혼을 준비하고, AI와 초저가 온라인 쇼핑을 적극 활용하는 젊은 세대가 늘면서 한국의 웨딩 문화도 비용 중심에서 실용 중심으로 빠르게 재편되고 있습니다.
[1] Wedding planning in South Korea comes with its own notorious ritual: A bundled package of studio photography, dress rentals and professional makeup known as “sudeume” in Korean.
notorious: 악명 높은
bundled: 묶음의
[2] It means dealing with a sprawling network of planners, venues and vendors while paying hefty upfront costs. Yet today, a growing number of young Koreans are taking a DIY approach, cutting costs on what many deem an overpriced tradition.
sprawling: 산개하는
hefty: 크고 무거운, 두둑한
upfront: 선불의, 솔직한
deem: 여기다
[3] A 2025 survey by Embrain found that nearly 70 percent of unmarried adults aged 19 to 49 in the Seoul metropolitan area considered spending heavily on weddings — including luxury venues and "sudeume" packages — to be wasteful.
wasteful: 낭비하는
[4] As more couples take a hands-on approach to wedding planning, many are turning to budget-friendly marketplaces, including Temu, a Chinese shopping platform known for bargain-priced products.
budget-friendly: 저렴한
bargain-priced: 헐값

Early World Cup exit reopens old wounds on Hong, KFA leadership
기사 요약: 한국 축구대표팀이 2026 월드컵에서 조기 탈락하면서 홍명보 감독의 전술과 리더십은 물론, 대한축구협회의 구조적 문제를 둘러싼 비판도 거세지고 있다.
[1] South Korea's early exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup confirmed for many fans widespread concerns that have followed throughout head coach Hong Myung-bo’s second run leading the national team: questions over what appears to be a lack of tactics, his dubious appointment process that bypassed interview and presentations and the unwarranted trust in him by the national soccer association that was already facing accusations of poor governance and weak accountability.
tactic: 작전
dubious: 수상쩍은
bypass: 우회하다
unwarranted: 부당한
[2] These doubts began to brew long before the team officially failed to qualify for the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a fate that was only decided Sunday.’
brew: 양조하다, (커피·차를) 끓이다.
knockout stage: 지면 탈락하는 단계. *knockout:일격에 쓰러뜨림. KO
fate: 운명
[3] It was ultimately determined not by the three matches the team played, but by the results of games played by third-place teams in other groups.
determine: 결정하다
[4] The expanded 48-team World Cup had given third-place teams a second chance to avoid elimination from the knockout round, but in the end it only prolonged uncertainty and aggravated disappointment for South Korean fans.
avoid: 피하다
elimination: 탈락
prolonged: 장기적인
aggravated: 악화된

Heo Nam-jun's breakout moment: How 'My Royal Nemesis' changed everything
기사 요약: 최근 인기리에 종영한 SBS 드라마 「멋진 신세계」에서 차세계 역을 맡아 스타로 급부상한 허남준이 데뷔 이후 최고의 전성기를 맞고 있다.
[1] For years, Heo Nam-jun was a familiar face in supporting roles. Now, he finds himself at the center of one of Korea's streaming hits. The actor recently wrapped "My Royal Nemesis," a fantasy romantic comedy that climbed to No. 2 on Netflix's weekly non-English TV chart during the June 8-14 tracking period.
familiar: 익숙한
supporting role: 조연
at the center of: (어떤 대상의) 중심에 있는
wrap: 마무리하다
[2] Heo stars as Cha Se-gye, a chaebol heir whose cool exterior begins to crack after he meets a Joseon-era woman, played by Lim Ji-yeon, who has inexplicably time-slipped into modern-day Seoul.
heir: 후계자
exterior: 표면
crack: 갈라지다
inexplicably: 설명할 수 없게
[3] Heo said he frequently sought reassurance from the show's director and writer as he worked to embody Cha's matter-of-fact way of speaking — a trait he feared might clash with the conventions of a romantic leading man.
reassurance: 확신
embody: (가치·정신·특징 등을) 구현하다
matter-of-fact: 사무적인, 사실만을 있는 그대로 말하는
trait: (성격상의) 특성

visibilty: 노출, 인지도
gratitude: 고마움
traction: 끌기, 당김 --> 지지·인기·호응 *gain traction: 인기를 끌다. 주목을 받다
forward-looking: 미래지향적인, 앞을 내다보려하는

Why Korea keeps returning to soccer every four years
기사 요약: 한국인들에게 월드컵은 단순한 스포츠 이벤트를 넘어, 2002년 4강 신화의 기억을 되새기며 온 국민이 함께 응원하는 축제다.
[1] Every four years, something shifts — almost overnight. People who rarely follow soccer start checking kickoff times. Office chatter turns from deadlines to defensive lines. Group chats fill with lineup predictions, referee complaints and late-night watch plans.
shift: 바뀌다
rarely: 드물게
chatter: 수다
late-night: 심야의
[2] Streets grow louder, emotions run higher and a shared sense of national pride takes over. The feeling may be temporary, but few events — not even the Olympics or the World Baseball Classic — stir the same level of collective passion.
take over: 장악하다
temporary: 일시적인
stir: (감정·행동을) 불러일으키다
passion: 열정
[3] Experts point to Korea’s strong sense of collective identity, rooted in shared history and a culture that values social unity, as one reason the World Cup resonates so deeply with the public, even among people who pay little attention to the sport outside the tournament.
collective identity: 집단 정체성
rooted in: ~에 뿌리를 두고 있다
social unity: 사회적 통합
resonate: ~을 상기시키다[떠올리게 하다]
[4] Even before South Korea established itself as a regional soccer powerhouse, the sport had already become a major source of public passion. In the 1960s and 1970s, matches against regional rivals often sparked nationwide emotional reactions, while stars such as Cha Bum-kun — one of the greatest soccer players South Korea has ever produced — became symbols of national pride.
powerhouse: 특정 분야에서 압도적인 영향력과 경쟁력을 가진 강자(강국, 선도 기업, 실력자)
regional: 지역의
nationwide: 전국적으로
symbol: 상징

Mexican guild chief apologizes for racist 'slant-eye' gesture at World Cup
기사요약: 월드컵 경기 도중 한국인 유튜버 뒤에서 동양인을 비하하는 ‘찢어진 눈’ 제스처를 한 멕시코 엔지니어링 협회장이 거센 비판 끝에 공개 사과했으며, 소속 단체는 그의 해임 절차를 검토 중이다.
[1] Ulises Fernando Bernal Miramontes, the president of a Mexican engineering guild, issued a public apology over the weekend for his controversial slant-eye gesture during a World Cup match days earlier.
guild: 협회
slant: 기울기, 경사, 비스듬한 방향 / slant eyes, slant-eyed: 동양인의 눈을 비하하거나 고정관념적으로 묘사하는 표현
[2] “Over the past few days, a video has circulated online and generated a wide range of reactions,” read Bernal’s post, written in both English and Spanish, on his social media account. “For that reason, I believe it is important to offer a public apology.”
generate: 불러일으키다
[3] Bernal drew backlash after a Korean YouTuber posted a video on Instagram in which he could be seen in a seat behind her making a slant-eye gesture from the bleachers during Thursday night’s World Cup match between South Korea and the Czech Republic in Guadalajara, Mexico.
draw backlash: 거센 비판을 받다
bleacher: [보통 pl.] 지붕 없는 관람석, 외야석 관중석
[4] Bernal is the president of the College of Geomatics and Topographic Surveying Engineers of the State of Jalisco (CITGEJ). The engineering guild issued a statement on Saturday saying it would internally review the matter.
internally: 내부적으로
[5] Seo Kyoung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, had earlier on Sunday urged Bernal to publicly apologize and called on world soccer-governing body FIFA to take measures to prevent a recurrence.
call on A to B: A에게 B할 것을 촉구하다
recurrence: 재발

Enzyme baths heat up as latest wellness trend
기사요약: 중장년층의 건강 요법으로 인식되던 효소찜질이 최근 붓기 완화와 피로 회복, 정신적 휴식을 찾는 20~30대 사이에서 인기를 얻으며 새로운 웰니스 트렌드로 자리 잡고 있다.
[1] Buried up to the neck in warm, fermented rice bran, a new generation of Koreans is sweating out the stress of daily life.
fermented: 발효된
[2] Enzyme baths, a heat therapy long associated with middle-aged and older Koreans, are drawing customers in their 20s and 30s, who see the treatment as a way to reduce puffiness, flush out fatigue and recover from busy routines without breaking a sweat at the gym.
enzyme: 효소
puffiness: 붓기
flush out: 배출시키다
break a sweat: 땀을 흘리다
[3] The treatment involves lying in a bed of hinoki cypress sawdust, rice bran and medicinal herbs mixed with microorganisms. As the microbes ferment, they generate natural heat of 40 to 70 degrees Celsius. Unlike a conventional sauna, which delivers intense heat through electric devices, an enzyme bath raises the core body temperature gradually, stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic flow. Many visitors book sessions before photo shoots or important events to reduce facial and body swelling.
conventional: 일반적인
gradually: 점진적으로
stimulate: 촉진하다
lymphatic: 림프의
[4] Clips of K-pop idols, including Lee Chae-yeon and Lee Hyeri, receiving enzyme baths have also circulated on YouTube, where the treatments are presented as part of an anti-inflammatory and detox routine.
circulate: 널리 공유되다
inflammatory: 염증의
[5] The appeal goes beyond celebrity endorsements. Enzyme bathhouses tend to feature neat interiors and a calm atmosphere, setting them apart from the scrub-focused bathhouses of previous generations.
endorsement: (공개적인) 지지 / celebrity endorsement: 유명인의 제품·서비스에 대한 공개적 지지·추천·홍보

Getting married soon? Some Koreans say skip the funeral
기사 요약: 최근 한 직장인 익명 커뮤니티에서는 결혼을 앞두고 장례식장에 가는 것이 적절한지를 두고 갑론을박이 벌어지며 “미신일 뿐”이라는 반응과 “큰일을 앞둔 만큼 조심해야 한다”는 의견이 맞서고 있다.
[1] Every wedding season, online communities for newlyweds in Korea buzz with a familiar question: Is it a bad idea to attend a funeral before my wedding?
newlyweds: 신혼부부
[2] Rooted in a traditional belief that attending a funeral before major life events can bring bad luck, the superstition remains surprisingly resilient among young Koreans even in 2026.
rooted in: ~에서 뿌리를 두고 있는, ~에서 유래하는
superstition: 미신
resilient: 쉽게 사라지지 않는, 끈질긴
[3] In a recent post on Blind, an anonymous online community for office workers, a man set to marry later this month said he had an argument with his fiancee after attending the funeral of his close friend.
set to: ~할 예정인
fiancee: 약혼녀
[4] The long-standing association between death and misfortune can be traced to Korean shamanistic beliefs, which regarded funeral sites as spaces occupied by impure energy or wandering spirits.
long-standing: 오랜 기간 이어져 온, 오래된
be traced to: ~로 거슬러 올라가다
impure: 부정한, 불순한

Lee calls for fundamental fixes after ballot fiasco, reflects on 'sensitivity to sovereignty'
기사 요약: 6·3 지방선거 당시 발생한 투표용지 부족 사태와 관련해 이재명 대통령은 “구조적 문제를 인식하고 개선해야 한다”고 말하며, 이 문제를 지적하는 청년들의 모습을 두고 “귀하고 존경스럽다”고 평가했다.
[1] President Lee Jae Myung on Monday called for “fundamental measures” to prevent a repeat of the ballot shortages that marred the June 3 local elections, saying the controversy had led him to question whether he had lacked “sensitivity to sovereignty.”
fiasco: 대참사
mar: 훼손하다, 망치다
sovereignty: 주권
[2] Speaking at a news conference marking his first year in office at Cheong Wa Dae, Lee said the unprecedented disruption was “not about the number of votes or the outcome,” but rather “a matter of principle.”
unprecedented: 전례 없는
principle: 원칙
[3] “I have also reflected deeply on the argument that this is a fundamental issue concerning the exercise of sovereignty in the democratic Republic of Korea,” Lee said, referring to South Korea by its official name.
reflect on: ~에 대해 성찰하다, ~을 되돌아보다
exercise: (권리, 권한 등을) 행사하다
[4] “That is why I have come to think that we must devise fundamental measures. We were far too complacent.” Lee praised young people who criticized the ballot shortages, saying the protests “may be somewhat mixed up with election fraud claims,” but that he “sees it as entirely different.”
devise: 고안하다, 마련하다
complacent: 안일한, 현실에 안주하는

For these young Korean conscripts, military service is no longer lost time
기사 요약: 과거에는 군 복무가 청년기의 공백으로 여겨졌지만, 최근 한국의 젊은 남성들은 향상된 처우와 자율적인 병영 환경을 활용해 수능 준비와 자기계발, 심지어 외모 관리까지 병행하며 군 생활을 미래를 위한 투자와 성장의 시간으로 활용하고 있다.
[1] Many Korean men used to describe mandatory military service as a suffocating period spent confined to barracks, bound by rigid routines and largely disconnected from the outside world.
suffocate: 숨이 막히다
confine: 국한시키다
rigid: 엄격한
[2] Conscription was widely seen as an involuntary pause in youth, rather than a continuation of the lives they had been building.
conscription: 징병제
pause: 멈춤
[3] But for Woo Tae-hyun, his 18 months in the military were the exact opposite. It was a strategically planned step toward his future goals.
opposite: 반대
strategically: 전략적으로
[4] Discharged last December, the 22-year-old, currently enrolled at a university in Gyeonggi Province, is preparing to retake this year’s national college entrance exam, known as the Suneung, which he began studying for during military service.
discharge: (군대, 병원 등에서) 떠나는 것을 허락하다, 퇴원하다, 제대하다
enroll: 등록하다, 입학하다, 입대하다

From niche hobby to public courts — pickleball gains ground in Korea
기사 요약: 중장년층의 틈새 스포츠로 여겨졌던 피클볼이 낮은 진입장벽과 강한 사교성, 유명인의 관심 등에 힘입어 최근 젊은 층과 외국인 커뮤니티를 중심으로 빠르게 확산되며 새로운 생활체육 종목으로 자리 잡고 있다.
[1] The sharp “pop” of plastic balls bouncing off paddles echoed across a Seoul park, where courts once mostly used for jokgu, Korean foot volleyball, are increasingly being taken over by players of the fast-growing racket sport pickleball.
paddle: 주걱, 라켓, 노
echo: 울리다
[2] Once seen largely as a niche sport favored by older players, pickleball is now attracting younger office workers, foreign residents and former tennis players, pushing the sport further into Korea’s mainstream recreational culture.
niche: 틈새
recreational: 오락의
[3] The trend has grown visible enough that Seoul opened a 14-court pickleball complex at Gwangnaru Hangang Park on April 16, one of the city’s largest dedicated facilities for the sport to date.
visible: 보이는
dedicated: 전용의

'All responsibility is mine,' Shinsegae chief bows in apology
기사 요약: 정용진 신세계그룹 회장은 스타벅스의 “탱크 데이” 이벤트 논란과 관련해 “머리 숙여 사죄드리며 여러분들의 용서를 구한다"며 사과했다.
[1] Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin bowed his head before victims' families Tuesday, taking personal responsibility for a Starbucks Korea promotion that touched off nationwide anger over one of South Korea's most painful political tragedies.
bow one’s head: (존경·사과·수치심·겸손의 뜻으로) 고개를 숙이다
victim: 피해자
responsibility: 책임
touch off: 어떤 사건이나 반응이 시작되게 만들다
[2] "To the bereaved families of the May 18 Democratic Uprising, the family of activist Park Jong-chul, the citizens of Gwangju and the Korean public who suffered deep pain and disappointment because of this incident," Chung said at a press conference.
bereaved: 상실한 상태의 (*bereaved family 유가족)
uprising: 봉기, 항쟁
activist: (정치, 사회) 운동가, 활동가
disappointment: 실망
[3] The new apology came after days of criticism over a May 18 Starbucks Korea promotion for its "Tank" tumbler collection, which used phrases evoking both the military tanks deployed to suppress the Gwangju Democratic Uprising on May 18, 1980, and the authoritarian government's cover-up of the death of democracy activist Park Jong-chul.
apology: 사과
criticism: 비판
suppress: 억압하다
cover-up: 은폐
[4] Chung asked the public not to direct anger toward frontline Starbucks workers, saying the responsibility lay with management. He pledged a broad overhaul of the company's internal systems and standards for social responsibility.

Inside 'Perfect Crown' controversy: Why its portrayal of Joseon royal rituals sparks outrage in Korea
기사 요약: 최근 종영한 아이유, 변우석 주연 드라마 “21세기 대군부인”은 즉위식과 다도 장면 등에 중국식 예법을 연상시키는 설정이 등장하면서 역사 왜곡 논란에 휩싸였다.
[1] “Perfect Crown,” one of the biggest K-dramas of the first half of 2026 starring IU and Byeon Woo-seok, is facing mounting backlash over its depiction of royal traditions, with potential repercussions including the repayment of government production funding.
mounting: 점점 커지는
backlash: 강한 반발
depiction: 묘사
repercussion: 후폭풍
[2] The series performed strongly during its broadcast run. According to Nielsen Korea, the final episode, which aired on May 16, recorded a nationwide rating of 13.8 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from episode 11’s 13.5 percent, marking a series high. However, despite its ratings success, the drama has been embroiled in controversy over its use of Joseon-era (1392–1910) court rituals, which critics say evoke the tributary customs of imperial China.
strongly: 강하게
embroiled in: 곤란한 상황에 깊이 휘말리다
controversy: 논란
evoke: 소환하다
[3] Critics argue that although the story is set in a fictional 21st-century Korea where a constitutional monarchy still exists, the production overlooked how modern audiences might interpret its depiction of Joseon court traditions linked to the East Asian tributary system.
fictional: 허구적인
constitutional monarchy: 입헌군주제
overlook: 간과하다
interpret: 의미를 해석하다
[4] Viewers also took issue with a coronation scene in which court officials proclaimed “Cheonse” (“Long live for a thousand years”), a phrase historically linked to vassal states, rather than “Manse” (“Long live for ten thousand years”), which has traditionally been used to signify an independent sovereign ruler.
coronation: 대관식
proclaim: 공식적으로 선언하다
vassal state: 속국

Why is surveillance expanding inside Korean homes?
기사요약: 1인 가구와 맞벌이 가구 증가 및 아이·노인·반려동물 돌봄 수요 확대로 한국 가정 내 감시카메라 사용이 빠르게 늘면서 범죄 증거 확보 등 순기능과 함께 해킹·사생활 침해, 영상의 무단 유통 등 법적 위험도 커지고 있다.
[1] Voices layered over a faint electronic hum, a wide-angle view, and a real-time timestamp — footage previously associated with security feeds — are turning up in a plethora of social media clips featuring everything from babies’ cute moments to newlyweds at the dinner table.
faint: 희미한, 어렴풋한
hum: (낮게) 윙윙거리는 소리, 웅웅거림
plethora: 과다, 과잉
[2] A search for “home cam” on Instagram returns roughly 50,000 results. Most are short-form videos featuring actual home-camera footage reworked into vlogs or punchy clips, or content staged to mimic them.
staged: 연출된, 의도적으로 꾸며진
mimic: 모방하다, 흉내 내다
[3] What drives this comfort with raw security footage, despite its undeniably voyeuristic feel? The shift was gradual, as surveillance cameras increasingly became ordinary fixtures in Korean homes.
voyeuristic: 관음증적인, 훔쳐보는 듯한
fixture: 붙박이, 고정 설비, 일상적으로 자리 잡은 것
[4] Home security cameras with real-time internet monitoring have become popular among parents of young children and those caring for elderly or ill relatives, often serving as a last resort for tracking unexpected events while they are away from home.

Samsung says Dua Lipa TV box image was authorized
기사요약: 삼성전자가 미국에서 판매된 TV 포장에 영국 팝스타 두아 리파의 사진을 무단 사용했다며 제기된 1,500만달러 규모 소송과 관련해, 콘텐츠 제공 파트너를 통해 사용 권한을 확인한 뒤 해당 이미지를 사용한 것이라 반박했다.
[1] Samsung Electronics on Tuesday denied claims that it used a photo of British pop star Dua Lipa without permission, saying the image had been cleared for use through a content partner before it appeared on TV packaging in the US.
be cleared for: ~에 대한 승인(허가)을 받다, 사용이 허가되다
[2] The statement came after Lipa’s representatives filed a lawsuit against Samsung on Friday in the US District Court for the Central District of California, accusing the company of copyright, trademark and publicity rights infringement. The suit seeks $15 million in damages.
infringement: 침해, (권리·법 등의) 위반
[3] The case centers on a photo of Lipa that appeared on the exterior of Samsung TV packaging. According to the complaint, the image was taken backstage at the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival, and Lipa’s side claims she owns the copyright to the photograph.
to center on: ~을 중심으로 하다, ~에 초점이 맞춰지다
[4] The complaint alleges that Samsung used the image as part of a commercial marketing campaign without her approval.
allege: 주장하다, 혐의를 제기하다
approval: 승인, 허가, 동의
[5] “Ms. Lipa’s face was prominently used for a mass marketing campaign for a consumer product without her knowledge, without consideration, and as to which she had no say, control, or input whatsoever,” the complaint stated. “Ms. Lipa did not allow and would not have allowed this use.”
prominently: 눈에 띄게, 두드러지게

Living with a pet in Korea
기사 요약: 한국에서 반려동물을 키우려면 검역, 등록, 맹견 규제, 아파트 규정 등 여러 법적 규정을 따라야 한다.
[1] Pets are becoming an increasingly common part of life in Korea, but living with an animal here comes with rules that foreign residents should know before bringing one into the country, adopting one locally or moving into an apartment.
common: 흔한
adopt: 입양하다
[2] Government data showed that a record 29.2 percent of the population had a pet in 2025, reflecting the growing place of companion animals in Korean households.
reflect: 반영하다
companion: 동반자
[3] But pet ownership also involves requirements on quarantine, animal registration, safety measures, housing rules and designated “fierce dog” breeds.
quarantine: 검역
fierce: 맹렬한, 사나운
[4] Bringing a pet to Korea requires several government-mandated steps in addition to the basic arrangements for air travel, such as securing an approved carrier and checking airline rules on the number and type of animals allowed on board.

Koreans' meat-heavy diet carries bigger carbon cost than 10 return flights to Jeju
기사 요약: 한국인 한 명이 1년 동안 먹는 육류에서 나오는 온실가스가 김포-제주 구간 편도 항공편을 약 21회 이용하는 것과 비슷한 수준이라는 분석 결과가 나왔다.
[1] A South Korean’s annual meat consumption produces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to about 10 flights across the country and back, a report showed Wednesday, highlighting the heavy climate footprint of Korea’s meat-heavy diet.
equivalent to: ~와 같은, ~와 맞먹는 수준의
footprint: 발자국, 흔적
[2] Meat consumed in South Korea generated an estimated 56.94 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in 2024, according to Solution for Our Climate. The estimate was based on 3.08 million tons of beef, pork and chicken consumed in the country.
generate: 배출하다, 발생시키다
carbon dioxide: 이산화탄소
[3] On a per capita basis, meat consumption generated 1,115 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year. That is roughly equal to 21 one-way flights, or 10.5 round-trip flights, between Seoul and Jeju Island.
per capita: 1인당
[4] Beef is by far the most emissions-intensive of the three major meats. The report said beef generates about four times more emissions than pork and more than 10 times more than chicken per kilogram, largely because cattle take longer to raise and produce methane during digestion.
by far: 단연
intensive: 집약적인
methane: 메탄

Korea to remove ‘out-of-wedlock child’ from welfare forms
기사 요약: 부모의 혼인 여부에 따라 아동에게 부정적인 낙인이 찍힌다는 비판이 제기되면서, 정부가 아동복지법 관련 서류에서 ‘혼외자’라는 용어를 없애기로 했다.
[1] South Korea will remove the term “out-of-wedlock child” from government forms used in child welfare administration, as authorities move to update official language in line with changing views on family and childbirth.
out-of-wedlock: 혼외의
form: 서식, 양식
[2] The Ministry of Health and Welfare said Thursday it had issued an advance notice of revisions to the enforcement decree and rules of the Child Welfare Act. The proposed changes also include measures to strengthen responses to child abuse and suspected abuse-related deaths.
issue: 발표하다
enforcement decree: 시행령
[3] The ministry said it plans to remove the expression from all child welfare-related administrative forms, reflecting concerns that children should not be classified by their parents’ marital status.
remove: 제거하다
reflect: 반영하다
[4] Marriage has long been viewed in South Korea as a prerequisite for childbirth, but public attitudes have gradually shifted, with more people seeing nonmarital births as a personal choice.
prerequisite: 무엇이 있기 위해 꼭 필요한 전제 조건, 필수조건
nonmarital: 결혼하지 않은

Stress-relief items become everyday essentials for Gen Z
기사요약: 스트레스 해소용 소품들이 Z세대 사이에서 일상 필수품으로 자리 잡고 있다.
[1] “I’m having a hard day.” For a growing number of young consumers, that sentiment is no longer kept private. It is managed, quite literally, in hand.
sentiment: 감정, 정서
literally: 문자 그대로
[2] Across South Korea, small, portable items designed to ease tension are becoming part of daily routines. From tactile keycap keyrings clipped onto bags to soft squishy toys and pocket-sized worry stones, these objects are emerging as everyday tools for managing stress.
tactile: 촉각의
squishy: 말랑말랑한
[3] According to SomeTrend, Instagram mentions of “keycap keyrings” rose 137 percent in February compared with December, while blog mentions increased 56 percent over the same period. The appeal is straightforward. Many of these fidget toy-like products deliver immediate tactile feedback and a brief mental reset through a clicking sound or soft resistance. Consumers also treat them as accessories, customizing keycaps or choosing character-themed designs that reflect personal taste.
straightforward: 명확한
fidget: 손장난용 소품
[4] Popular culture has taken notice. A recent skit on SNL Korea satirized Gen Z office life, featuring a young employee anxiously tapping a keycap after being scolded by a supervisor. The exaggerated scene — rapid, almost compulsive clicking to regain composure — mirrors how such items are increasingly framed as quick coping tools for workplace stress.
satirize: 풍자하다
be scolded by: ~에게 꾸중을 듣다

Less editing, more living: Real-time vlogs catch on
기사요약: 일상을 실시간으로 공유하는 ‘비편집 브이로그’가 젊은 세대를 중심으로 인기를 끌고 있다.
[1] A new social media app is reshaping how young users share their day — not through polished posts, but in fleeting, real-time fragments.
polished: 세련된, 정교하게 다듬어진
fragment: (전체의 일부인) 조각, 단편
[2] Setlog is a platform built around a simple premise: record two seconds of life, every hour. From the first moments after waking up to the last scroll before bed, these snippets are automatically stitched into a single daily vlog.
premise: 기본 전제, 핵심 개념
snippet: 짧은 부분, 짧은 발췌/영상 조각
[3] There is little room or need for curation. No extended filming, no editing timeline, no retakes. When a notification appears, users capture whatever is in front of them. The result is less about storytelling and more about presence, a shift that is resonating with a generation accustomed to documenting daily life.
presence: (그 순간의) 존재감, 현존, 현재에 있음
resonate: 공감을 불러일으키다, 마음에 와닿다
accustomed to: ~에 익숙한
[4] The appeal lies partly in how little effort it demands. On platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, short-form video often involves planning and editing. Setlog reduces the process to a reflex: tap, record, move on.
appeal: 매력, 끌림
reflex: 반사적인 행동

SK hynix workers got hefty bonuses. Now Samsung, Hyundai workers demand their share
[1] Windfall bonuses at SK hynix, driven by strong earnings amid a global AI chip boom, are resetting pay benchmarks, as unions at Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor step up pressure for larger payouts, news reports said Monday.
windfall: 뜻밖의 횡재
benchmark: 비교·평가의 기준(표준)
step up: ~을 증가시키다
payout: (많은 액수의) 지불금
[2] With a forecast operating profit of around 250 trillion won ($169 billion) this year, SK hynix is expected to pay average bonuses of about 700 million won per employee early next year, allocating 10 percent of its earnings to roughly 35,000 employees under a labor management agreement reached in September.
forecast: 예측하다
be expected to: ~할 것으로 예상되다
employee: 고용인
[3] Bonuses at SK hynix have become a focal point in labor disputes at its chipmaking rival, Samsung Electronics. Samsung has long been the more preferred employer among job seekers between the two chip firms, offering slightly higher starting salaries and a stronger reputation as part of the country's most prominent conglomerate, Samsung Group.
focal point: 관심·주의가 모이는 중심
preferred: 더 선호되는
job seeker: 구직자
prominent: 중요한
[4] Market analysts estimate that Samsung Electronics’s operating profit will average around 298 trillion won this year. Based on that estimate, the company would need to pay about 44.7 trillion won in bonuses alone. For the semiconductor division, which employs about 77,000 workers, the payout would average roughly 580 million won per employee.
estimate: 추정하다
operating profit: 영업이익
division: (조직의) 분과[부/국]

Will Korea lower age of criminal responsibility after 70 years?
[1] South Korea is once again debating whether or not to change the disputed minimum age of criminal responsibility, which has been left unchanged at 14 for over 70 years.
once again: 다시 한번
whether or not: ~인지 아닌지
disputed: 논란이 된, 논쟁 중인
[2] Calls for reform have resurfaced in recent years, fueled by public concern over increasing youth crime. The number of criminal minors caught breaking the law nearly doubled from 11,677 in 2021 to 21,095 last year, according to the National Police Agency.
call: n. 요구, 요청 (call for something: ~을 요구하다, 요청하다)
resurface: 재등장하다
fueled by: ~로부터 힘을 얻다, ~로 동력을 받다
double: 2배가 되다
[3] President Lee Jae Myung in February ordered the government to gather public opinion and reach a conclusion within two months. In response, the ministry formed a consultative body involving government agencies, experts and residents. A total of about 200 participants, including adults and youth both in and outside formal education systems, were selected to take part in the deliberations.
reach a conclusion: (증거·사실을 바탕으로) 결론을 내리다
in response: 이에 대응하여
consultative body: 협의체
deliberation: 숙고
[4] Public opinion remains divided. Supporters of lowering the age argue that 13-year-olds are sufficiently mature to bear criminal responsibility, especially compared to the early 1950s when the law was first established.
divided: 나뉘어진
argue: 이유를 들어 주장하다
sufficiently: 충분히
bear: 견디다, 감당하다

Koreans turn away from heavy drinking
기사 요약: 팬데믹 이후 한국의 음주 문화가 변화하고, 2030 세대를 중심으로 건강을 중시하는 분위기가 자리 잡으면서 폭음하는 사람들의 비중이 매년 줄어들고 있다.
[1] South Korea’s after-work drinking culture is losing steam, as younger generations turn away from late-night company gatherings and heavy alcohol consumption.
lose steam: 열기가 식다
turn away: 외면하다
[2] According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, the median monthly binge drinking rate across South Korea’s 17 provinces and major cities stood at 33.8 percent last year. The rate had risen from 31.7 percent in 2021 to 35.8 percent in 2023, but has since declined for two consecutive years.
binge drinking: 폭음 (binge watching: 몰아보기)
[3] The shift is particularly pronounced among people in their 20s. Except for North Chungcheong Province and Jeju Island, monthly drinking rates among this age group declined nationwide. In Sejong, the rate fell sharply from 68.3 percent to 50.5 percent, a decrease of nearly 20 percentage points.
pronounced: 확연한
[4] Professor Lee Eun-hee, a consumer studies expert, said these movements reflect a fundamental change in how people approach drinking. “Healthy pleasure refers to seeking enjoyment without compromising one’s health, while there is a growing interest in reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption,” she said.
“Rather than completely abstaining, many young people are choosing to regulate their drinking based on their physical condition and daily routines.”
fundamental: 근본적인

'Protecting' children at cost of school trips and sports
기사 요약: 아이들을 ‘보호’한다는 명목으로 운동회와 현장체험학습이 학교에서 점차 사라지고 있다.
[1] When 45-year-old Bang Kyeong-hwan's son clinched first place among fourth graders at a national swimming competition last year representing his school, he found the accomplishment deserving of recognition.
clinch: 성사시키다, 이뤄 내다
recognition: 인정, 표창
[2] What his son was rewarded with at school, however, was a private, low-key ceremony between himself and his teacher. There was no classroom applause or cheers for the champion, although Bang thought he deserved it.
low-key: 많은 이목을 끌지 않도록 절제하는, 요란하지 않은
[3] "For kids growing up, there should be a culture of cheering for a classmate's success, but now these are things of bygone days," Bang told The Korea Herald, saying that a "new culture" has taken root.
bygone: 지난, 옛날의
take root: 뿌리를 내리다
[4] Bang's case is just one example of how schools have come to avoid elements that could lead to complaints such as competitive sports, field trips and minor injuries in the schoolyard. A December survey on 2,746 teachers by the Korean Federation of Teachers Unions showed that 51.9 percent suffered from mailcious complaints from parents in the second half of last year.

[1] The protracted conflict in the Middle East, disrupting global petroleum supplies, has reignited controversy over the long-debated policy of providing free subway rides for senior citizens.
protracted: 오래 계속된
petroleum: 석유

[2] The controversy resurfaced after President Lee Jae Myung suggested temporarily restricting free subway rides for seniors during peak commuting hours at a Cabinet meeting on March 24.
temporarily: 일시적으로
peak: 정점
commute: 통근하다
[3] This was part of South Korea’s emergency measures prompted by soaring oil prices and concerns over unstable energy supply, along with rotation-based restrictions on private vehicle use.
prompt: 촉발하다
soar: 급등하다

[4] Such moves are expected to divert more commuters onto buses and subways, meaning major metropolitan transit systems could face heightened congestion in the weeks ahead.

Why does spring make you feel tired?
기사 요약: 춘곤증은 계절 변화에 따른 일시적인 피로로 여겨질 수 있지만, 몇 주 이상 지속될 경우 빈혈이나 갑상선 질환 등 건강 이상 신호일 수 있다.
[1] If you have found yourself fighting off yawns despite getting a full night’s sleep, you are not alone. As the weather warms and sunlight stretches into the early evenings, many begin to feel unusually drowsy or sluggish.
yawn: 하품하다
drowsy: 졸리는
sluggish: 활력이 없는, 느린
[2] In Korea, this familiar seasonal fatigue is commonly called "chun-gon-jeung," which literally translates to "spring tiredness."
fatigue: 피로
[3] Doctors stress that this isn’t a disease but a physiological adjustment period. As winter transitions into spring, the body is suddenly asked to recalibrate its internal rhythms.
physiological: 생리학의
recalibrate: 재조정하다
[4] Still, the fact that spring fatigue isn’t an official medical condition doesn’t mean the tiredness is imagined. Headaches, mild dizziness, digestive discomfort and a waning appetite can accompany the mental slowdown, and when these symptoms persist, it becomes harder to push through the workday as usual.
dizziness: 현기증
wane: 약해지다, 줄어들다, 시들다
appetite: 식욕

Stick, don't swallow: Skin patches emerge as the next big thing in wellness
기사 요약: 이제는 영양제를 먹는 대신 피부에 직접 붙여 흡수시키는 패치형 영양제가 새로운 뷰티, 헬스 트렌드로 떠오르고 있다.
[1] Supplements you wear, not swallow, are quickly gaining traction as the latest crossover between beauty and wellness, fueled by celebrity routines, social media buzz and advances in transdermal delivery technology.
supplements: 보충제
swallow: (음식 등을) 삼키다
gain traction: 성장세를 타다
crossover: 활동이나 스타일이 두 가지 이상의 분야에 걸친 것
[2] The trend recently drew attention after singer and actor Nana revealed her morning routine on the MBC variety show “Point of Omniscient Interfere,” where she showcased not only her skin care regimen but also a glutathione patch attached to the skin. Known for trying trending beauty products she spots online, Nana’s choice, a glutathione patch from Ring Tap, quickly sparked interest among viewers.
draw attention to~: 관심을 끌다
routine: 규칙적으로 하는 일의 통상적인 순서
regimen: 운동 및 식이 요법
spark interest: 관심을 불러 일으키다
[3] Patches are expanding beyond skin care. Brands such as Hautuki have introduced growth-support patches for children, while Foggone targets office workers and students dealing with so-called “brain fog,” using magnesium microneedle technology applied to pressure points like the temples. Other variants include energy-boosting, melatonin and slimming patches, reflecting a broader shift toward functional, lifestyle-driven products.
expanding: 확장하다
growth-support: 키 성장에 도움되는
target: (목표로 하는) 대상
functional: 실용적인
[4] Among various nutrients, vitamin D has emerged as particularly well-suited to patch delivery due to its small molecular size and fat-soluble properties. Combined with its global demand for bone health and immune support, it has become a leading ingredient in the category.
nutrient: 영양소
emerge: 떠오르다
well-suited: 매우 적합하다

Looking for the one? Please submit your resume
기사 요약: 예전과 달리 결정사는 마지막 선택이 아니라, 안전한 만남 선호와 시간 효율 중시, 조건 기반 결혼 증가 등 사회적 변화가 맞물리며 결혼을 위한 하나의 전략적 선택지로 자리 잡았다.
[1] In South Korea, some people go on dates arranged by friends. Others swipe through apps to find the one they want. And then there are those who hand over their resumes — quite literally — to a matchmaking consultant.
arranged date: 소개팅
swipe: (앱에서) 좌우로 넘기다
hand over: 제출하다
resume: 이력서, 프로필
[2] Curious about how the process works at the highest end of the market, The Korea Herald visited a marriage agency founded in 2001 in Cheongdam, an upscale neighborhood in Seoul’s Gangnam district, known for pairing clients based on professional pedigree and inherited affluence.
curious: 궁금한
highest end: 최고급
marriage agency: 결혼정보회사 (결정사)
pedigree: 가문
[3] “Have you heard of the term ‘birds of a feather flock together’? Here, we help you meet the love of your life who is on the same wavelength as you — in background, goals and outlook on life,” she said, handing over a pamphlet highlighting the agency’s track record.
birds of a feather flock together: 끼리끼리
wavelength: 결이 맞는
background: 배경
outlook: (앞날에 대한) 전망
[4] Today, marriage consulting services are no longer seen as a last resort for bachelors and bachelorettes who have struggled to find a partner. They are now viewed as an efficient way to find the right partner with less uncertainty, reflecting a shift in how Koreans meet, date and marry.
last resort: 마지막 수단

Humanoid race with China may be won by the hand, not on foot
기사요약: 중국이 휴머노이드 로봇의 양산과 이동 기술에서는 앞서가고 있지만, 정밀한 ‘손’ 조작 기술에서는 여전히 한계가 있어, 한국이 센서·촉각 데이터 기반 경쟁력으로 핵심 주도권을 노리고 있다는 분석이다.
[1] Earlier this month, Seoul's COEX hosted an event whose name said it all: the China Humanoid Conference, "First Journey to Korea." Unitree, Fourier, Leju and Huawei presented humanoids already working in Chinese factories and retail stores.
host: 주회하다, 열다
retail store: 소매 상점
[2] It felt less like an introduction than a declaration. The Korean engineers in the audience knew the scoreboard: China ships the vast majority of the world's humanoids, with over 140 companies in the race. On volume and speed, the contest was over.
declaration: 선언
vast: 어마어마한
[3] Not everyone on stage was triumphant, though. Yan Weixin, a senior researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University's AI institute, acknowledged from the stage that his team had defined 33 fundamental hand motions and succeeded with 32. The exception: chopsticks, a task that demands "very precise force control and tactile perception." Even China's humanoids, Yan conceded, cannot yet perform the kind of delicate manipulation that most 5-year-olds master at the dinner table.
exception: 예외
precise: 정확한, 정밀한
tactile: 촉감의
concede: 인정하다, 수긍하다
[4] The distinction matters because it maps onto two very different competitions. Walking is an engineering problem China solved with speed and scale. Dexterous manipulation is a data problem no country has solved yet, and South Korean companies believe they hold some of the missing pieces.
distinction: 차이
dexterous: 손재주가 비상한

Are butter rice cakes the new ‘Dubai chewy cookie’?
기사요약: '두바이 쫀득 쿠키' 열풍 이후, 겉은 바삭하고 속은 쫀득한 식감의 ‘버터떡’이 새로운 디저트로 한국에서 인기를 끌고있다.
[1] After the frenzy surrounding the “Dubai chewy cookie,” a new dessert trend is quickly gaining traction in Korea: butter rice cakes, a treat defined by its “crispy outside, chewy inside” texture.
frenzy: 광란
gain traction: 탄력을 받다, 인기를 끌다
[2] Across social media and video platforms, recipe clips and cafe reviews featuring butter rice cakes are spreading rapidly, drawing attention to the dessert’s unusual texture and flavor combination. Made with glutinous rice dough enriched with butter, the pastry develops a crisp golden crust during baking while preserving the rice cake’s signature chewiness inside.
glutinous: 차진, 끈기가 많은
enriched: 풍부한
preserve: 보존하다
[3] The result is a dessert that balances buttery notes with syrup or powdered toppings, offering an alternative to the aggressive sweetness of many recent dessert trends. Instead, consumers appear to gravitate toward playful textures and familiar flavors presented in new ways.
alternative: 대안, 선택 가능한 것
aggressive: 공격적인
gravitate: 자연히 끌리다
[4] In South Korea, content labeling butter rice cakes as “the dessert that will succeed the Dubai chewy cookie” has begun circulating widely on social media. Posts featuring tasting reviews or home cooking demonstrations attract tens of thousands of views.
circulate: 유포되다

How far are Koreans willing to go for the perfect 'aegyosal'?
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 지방이식·필러·메이크업을 넘어, 최근에는 반영구 타투까지 등장하며 한국인의 애굣살 연출 방식이 다양해지고 있다.
[1] In South Korea’s ever-evolving beauty landscape, few features have proven as enduring or as obsessively refined as aegyosal, the subtle puff of fat just below the lower lash line.
enduring: 오래가는, 오랫동안 중요하게 여겨지는
refined: 다듬어진
puff: 부풀어 오른 상태 (a subtle puff of fat 살짝 도톰하게 올라온 지방)
[2] The naturally occurring feature, associated with youth and expression, has transformed into a carefully constructed aesthetic shaped over decades by surgery, injectables, makeup and, in the latest trend, semipermanent tattooing.
injectable: n. 주입 가능 의약품
semipermanent: 반영구적인
[3] Aegyosal tattoos are gaining traction among young people, who are turning to the low-cost, easily accessible procedure to make their eyes appear larger without the need for daily makeup or invasive surgery.
gain traction: 주목 받기 시작하다
invasive: 몸에 칼을 대는, 외과적인
[4] The term aegyosal loosely translates to “cute fat,” and its appeal lies in illusion. Aegyosal is not the same as under-eye bags caused by fatigue or aging. Rather, it is the slight volume that appears below the lower lid when smiling, creating a crescent-shaped fullness that makes the eyes look brighter, larger and more expressive. In a society where youthful softness is highly prized, this small feature carries outsized influence.
fatigue: 피로
crescent: 초승달 모양

[1] As K-pop supergroup BTS prepares for its long-awaited comeback, Seoul is turning purple as hotels, landmarks and shops gear up for the group’s return.
long-awaited: 오래 기다리던, 고대했던
gear up: 채비하다
[2] Across the capital, businesses are rolling out themed experiences tied to “BTS The City Arirang Seoul,” a citywide initiative developed with the group's entertainment company Hybe that invites fans to experience the comeback beyond the concert venue.
roll out: 출시하다, 내놓다
initiative: (특정한 문제 해결·목적 달성을 위한 새로운) 계획
[3] Public institutions and city landmarks are also joining the celebration, turning large parts of Seoul into a temporary cultural playground, from Friday through April 12.
turn A into B: A를 B로 바꾸다
temporary: 일시적인, 임시의
[4] Several landmark events are scheduled for the album’s release day, Friday. Media facade displays will illuminate historic sites such as N Seoul Tower and Sungnyemun, one of Seoul's historic Four Great Gates, starting at 7 p.m. Later in the evening, a 15-minute drone light show will light up the skies above Ttukseom Hangang Park beginning at 8:30 p.m.
facade: (파사드) 건물의 정면, 표면

The women behind Korea’s fight for equality
기사 요약: 한국 사회에서 성평등을 위해 활동해 온 여성 활동가·변호사·운동가들의 역할과 노력
[1] Alongside South Korea’s rapid modernization, women's lives have been profoundly transformed.
rapid: 빠른
modernization: 현대화
profoundly: 깊이, 완전히
[2] Korean women continue to face structural barriers, including one of the widest gender pay gaps among members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and persistent gender-based violence.
structural: 구조적인
persistent: 끈질긴
[3] The push for equality has also fueled intense debates over feminism and gender relations in Korean society.
fuel: 부채질하다
intense: 치열한, 극심한
[4] Yet there have been major gains in education, employment and political participation. Across literature, law, politics and social movements, generations of women have challenged entrenched norms and risked their livelihoods to expand the boundaries of opportunity.
gain: 개선, 증가
entrenched: 견고한, 확립된
norms: 규범
boundary: 경계

기사 요약: 텔레그램을 통해 돈을 받고 타인의 집을 훼손하는 등 ‘보복 대행’ 범죄가 잇따라 발생하자 경찰이 관련 수사를 확대하고 있다.
[1] Concerns are growing over a recent string of so-called “revenge for hire” crimes, most of which involve the vandalism of apartment doors.
string: 끈, 일련
vandalism: 기물 파손 행위
[2] A man in his 20s was recently taken into custody on suspicion of property damage after smearing waste and paint on a stranger’s apartment door for money, news reports said Monday.
custody: 유치, 양육권
suspicion: 혐의, 의심
smear: 마구 바르다
[3] The incident occurred at around 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 22 at an apartment building in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, where the suspect allegedly spread food waste and sprayed red lacquer paint on the front door of a unit on the 15th floor, according to the Hwaseong Dongtan Police Station.
allegedly: 추정되는
lacquer: 광택제, 래커
[4] He also scattered dozens of leaflets defaming the resident and even left human excrement at the scene. He was apprehended on Feb. 26, with the court issuing a formal arrest warrant that day.
scatter: 뿌리다
defame: 헐뜯다
excrement: 배설물

'Woman as 1st customer is bad luck': Jeju restaurant sparks sexism complaints
기사 요약: 제주도의 한 식당이 “첫 손님이 여성이면 재수 없다”는 이유로 여성 고객에게 차별적으로 응대했다는 주장이 제기돼 공분을 사고 있다.
[1] A controversy has been brewing over an alleged sexual discrimination of a popular beef soup joint on Jeju Island, where the owner was accused of making disparaging comments about female customers.
controversy: 논란
brew: (차·맥주 등을) 끓이다, 우려내다. (논란 등이) 점점 커지다.
discrimination: 차별
disparage: 폄하하다, 깔보다, 헐뜯다
[2] Those who visited the restaurant, which specializes in gomtang, a Korean-style soup made by boiling beef bones and intestines, said the elderly woman who owned the place discriminated against women. One person said she was forced to wait outside for an hour because the owner insisted it was bad luck for the first customer to be a woman.
specialize in: (~을) 전공하다; 전문적으로 다루다
elderly: 연세가 드신
be forced to: ~를 하도록 강요받다.

meal: 식사; 한 끼
claim: (~이 사실이라고) 주장하다
ingredient: 재료; (~을 이루는 데 중요한) 구성 요소

in question: 문제의; 논의가 되고 있는
consumer: 소비자
occasionally: 가끔; 때때로
make an appearance: 얼굴을 비추다

How 'The Art of Sarah' recalls real-life luxury fraud even 'Squid Game' Lee Jung-jae fell for
기사 요약: 넷플릭스 시리즈 “레이디 두아”의 흥행을 계기로 2006년 한국 사회를 뒤흔들었던 이른바 ‘빈센트앤코’ 가짜 명품 사건이 재조명되고 있다.
[1] As the show's buzz builds, it has reignited interest in an infamous, real-life fraud case from Korea a decade ago that bears striking similarities to its central premise: counterfeit luxury goods falsely marketed as elite, European-made products, which reaped astronomical profits.
buzz: 화제성; 입소문
fraud: 사기; 가짜
counterfeit: 위조의, 모조의
astronomical: 천문학적인; 어마어마한
[2] "The Art of Sarah" centers on Sarah Kim (Shin Hye-sun), a master con artist who operates under a series of aliases while building her handbag label, Boudoir, into what appears to be the pinnacle of the luxury world.
center on: ~에 초점을 맞추다
con artist: 사기꾼
alias: 가명
pinnacle: 정점
[3] Although the series states that its characters and events are fictional, its storyline inevitably recalls the notorious real-life scandal from mid-2000s Korea, pushing it back into the public discourse alongside the show’s rising success.
fictional: 허구적인
inevitably: 필연적으로, 불가피하게
notorious: 악명 높은
public discourse: 공개 담론
[4] Known as the "Vincent & Co." case, the 2006 incident involved a watch brand that seemingly emerged overnight, claiming a century-long Swiss heritage and an elite clientele that allegedly included members of the British royal family.
heritage: 유산
elite: 엘리트; 사회 각 분야에서 결정적 영향력을 가진 소수 집단
clientele: (어떤 기관·상점 등의) 모든 의뢰인들; 고객들

BTS' big comeback show puts some wedding plans on edge
기사요약: 3월 광화문광장에서 열릴 BTS 무료 컴백 공연에 최대 26만 명이 몰릴 것으로 예상되면서, 당일 인근에서 결혼식을 앞둔 예비부부들의 볼멘소리가 커지고 있다.
[1] Fans around the world are counting down to March 21, when K-pop supergroup BTS is set to take over Gwanghwamun Square for its long-awaited comeback show.
For some couples planning to marry in central Seoul that same day, however, the global event is a source of anxiety. With little over a month left, some said they even considered significant changes to their wedding plans, including moving the date or venue.
anxiety: 불안, 걱정, 근심
significant: 중대한, 상당한, 중요한
[2] Song, who is scheduled to hold her ceremony at a wedding hall near Seodaemun Station — just one subway stop from Gwanghwamun Square — said Wednesday that she recently considered doing exactly that.
“Traffic around Gwanghwamun is always chaotic on weekends due to rallies. I already felt bad about that. And now there’s a BTS concert? I honestly don’t know why this has to happen on my wedding day,” she told The Korea Herald.
chaotic: 혼란스러운, 무질서한
due to: ~ 때문에, ~로 인하여
[3] Since wedding venues are typically booked six months to a year in advance, news of the concert, first reported in mid-January, has left couples like Song caught off guard.
typically: 일반적으로, 보통
catch (someone) off guard: ~의 허를 찌르다. (기대하지 않았던 일로) 깜짝 놀라게 하다
[4] Some anxious couples are even discussing the possibility of seeking compensation for disruptions they say the BTS concert could cause, arguing that the scale of the event goes beyond what consumers could reasonably foresee or prepare for.
compensation: 보상, 배상
disruption: 방해, 차질, 혼란을 초래하는 상황

Grades dominate parent talks with elementary students
기사요약: 초등학생과 부모 간 대화가 적성이나 진로보다 성적 중심으로 집중되는 경향이 심화되는 가운데, 초등학생 우울 지수도 함께 상승한 것으로 나타났다.
[1] Conversations between parents and elementary school children in South Korea are increasingly centered on academic performance rather than aptitude or future aspirations, coinciding with rising levels of depression among younger students.
aptitude: 특정 분야에 대한 적성, 소질, 타고난 능력
aspiration: 이루고자 하는 열망, 포부, 장래 희망
coincide with: ~와 동시에 발생하다
[2] According to a recent report by the Ministry of Education, the proportion of elementary school students who said they discuss their grades or academic performance with their parents every day rose to 30.5 percent in 2025, up from 25.7 percent five years earlier.
proportion: 비율
discuss: 논의하다
[3] By contrast, the share of students who reported talking daily about their aptitude, dreams or future school choices remained relatively low, standing at 15 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively.
The survey was conducted in 2025 among 6,751 sixth-grade elementary students nationwide as part of the ministry’s annual student assessment.
relatively: 비교적, 상대적으로
respectively: 각각, 순서대로
[4] The report noted that conversations about children’s long-term direction remain limited, revealing a tendency among parents to place greater emphasis on short-term academic outcomes than on broader future pathways.
tendency: 어떤 방향으로 기울어지는 경향, 성향, 추세

Soaring gold prices reshape Korea’s rituals
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 오르는 금값에 오랜 기간 한국의 전통이었던 돌잔치 등의 모습이 바뀌고 있다.
[1] Gold has long been woven into the fabric of Korean life. The precious metal has traditionally marked key rites of passage, from births and marriages to other major milestones.
-weave into: 깊이 스며들다.
-fabric: 사회 등의 구조
-rite: 의례
[2] But soaring gold prices are reshaping customs, prompting cutbacks and substitutions in traditions once taken for granted.
-cutback: 삭감, 감축
-take for granted: 당연한 일로 여기다, 대수롭지 않게 여기다
[3] The spot price of gold in Korea hovered at around 245,000 won ($168) a gram as of Thursday, representing a roughly 80 percent increase from 138,000 won a year earlier, according to the Korea Exchange. Before a sharp sell-off earlier this week, the metal had peaked at 269,810 won.
-spot price: 현물 가격
-sell-off: 매각
[4] Zooming out, the scale of the rally becomes even clearer. Gold prices have climbed more than threefold over the past five years and are now over five times higher than levels seen a decade ago. As prices soar, Koreans are increasingly moving away from gold at key life events, rethinking long-held customs amid mounting costs.

After 'Culinary Class Wars' craze, its bake-off version comes out — and it's much worse
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 흑백요리사의 전성기가 가고 새롭게 등장한 빵 대결 넷플릭스 프로그램 "천하제빵"이 또 다시 음식 경연 열기를 높이고 있지만, 심사위원 선정과 제작 과정 등의 한계로 논란이 되고 있다.
[1] Netflix's "Culinary Class Wars" swept South Korea last year with its high-drama face-offs between chefs, pairing visually striking dishes with the deeply personal philosophies of its contestants. More than an entertainment show, the series captured hearts and quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon.
-high-drama: 신나는 사건, 긴박한 상황.
-face-off: 대결
[2] Riding that momentum, and with the second season of "Culinary Class Wars" wrapping in January, broadcasters have rushed to capitalize on the food survival boom.
-wrap: 끝나다
-capitalize: 자본화하다
[3] Among the wave of new entrants, Korean cable network MBN's "Cheonha Bakery: Bake Your Dream" has emerged as the most prominent. A baking-centric spin on the competitive formula, the series debuted Feb. 1 and quickly climbed into Netflix Korea’s Top 10 TV shows after just one episode, as of Sunday.
-entrant: (경주,대회의) 출전자, 참가자
-prominent: 중요한, 유명한
[4] From its opening episode, "Cheonha Bakery: Bake Your Dream" follows a familiar blueprint. Acclaimed professionals and amateur bakers alike compete under aliases rather than their real names, presenting signature creations for a first-round evaluation that mirrors the structure of "Culinary Class Wars." As with the Netflix show, half the field is eliminated in the opening round following panel judging.

household: 가구
reside in: ~에 거주하다 (*resident: 거주하는 사람, 주민)
[2] The number of household heads under the age of 40 who did not own homes reached the highest figure since the government started its official tally in 2015, according to the Ministry of Data and Statistics.
reach: 닿다
tally: 기록, 총계
[3] The number of young Seoul residents who do not own homes has been trending upward since an initial tally of 799,491 in 2015, as has the figure in the greater Seoul area, which includes Gyeonggi Province and Incheon.
trend upward: 상승세를 보이다
greater Seoul area: 수도권
[4] Just 1.29 million Koreans under 40 owned homes -- 666,640 of them in the greater Seoul area and 216,129 in Seoul itself. All figures were the lowest on record.

Beyond a ‘fat finger’: Bithumb and the hidden risks of crypto exchanges
기사 요약: 빗썸의 비트코인 지급 오류 사태가 드러낸 암호 화폐 중앙화 거래소의 구조적 취약성과 리스크 관리 문제

misallocation: 배분 실수
bare: 벌거벗은
vulnerability: 취약성
ledger: (사업체에서 거래 내역을 적은) 원장
[2] The incident occurred during a routine event payout. An intended reward of 2,000 won ($1.20) per user was mistakenly entered as 2,000 bitcoin, resulting in about 620,000 bitcoins being credited to 249 customer accounts.
incident: 사건
routine: 일상적인
[3] Bithumb said it intervened in just minutes, but about 1,788 bitcoins were sold during the brief window, pushing prices down by as much as 17 percent at one point.
intervene: 개입하다
window: 열려있는 구간, 시간대, 기회
[4] The prices have now been stabilized, yet Bithumb said it recovered only 99.7 percent of the misallocated bitcoin, and about 125 coins remain unretrieved.
stabilize: 안정되다

Korea increasingly sweet on 'sugar tax'
기사 요약: 이재명 대통령이 최근 ‘설탕세’에 대한 긍정적 여론 조사 결과를 공유하며, 설탕이 많이 든 식품과 음료에 건강증진부담금을 부과해 필수 보건 의료 재원을 마련하는 방안에 대해 국민 의견을 물었다.
[1] President Lee Jae Myung on Wednesday floated the idea of imposing a new levy on sugar, similar to the surcharge placed on tobacco products, bringing the issue of a “sugar tax” into public discussion.
float an idea: 아이디어를 띄우다, 제안하다
similar to: ~와 비슷한
surcharge: 추가 요금
tobacco: 담배 (담배 잎을 말린 것으로 모든 담배의 재료로 쓰이는 것)
[2] Applying a similar model to sugar would aim to curb excessive consumption by raising prices, while directing the proceeds toward strengthening public health care systems, particularly in underserved regions.
apply: 신청하다; 지원하다
aim: ~을 목표로 하다
curb: 제한하다; 억제하다
excessive: 과도한; 지나친
[3] The survey, conducted with 1,030 adults, found broad public support for stronger measures to rein in sugar consumption. Nearly 94.4 percent of respondents backed requiring warning labels on products with added sugar, similar to those on cigarette packages, while 85.9 percent said they were aware that added sugars are a major contributor to chronic disease.
broad: 폭넓은
rein in: 억제/통제하다
respondent: 응답자
chronic disease: 만성 질환
[4] The SNU research group noted that recent medical studies have linked excessive sugar intake to metabolic disorders, structural changes in the brain and an increased risk of depression, stressing that calls for a sugar tax are not simply about regulation but also a way to encourage corporate responsibility.
note: ~에 주목하다. 언급하다
intake: 섭취량
metabolic disorder: 대사 이상, 대사 장애 (metabolic 신진 대사의)
depression: 우울증
encourage: 장려하다; 권장하다

Why Cha Eun-woo's W20b tax bill is not just about the money
기사 요약: 가수 겸 배우 차은우가 모친 명의 법인을 통해 수백억 원대 탈세를 했다는 의혹이 제기된 가운데, 국세청이 통보한 200억 원이 넘는 소득세 추징액 중 100억 원은 ‘거짓말 가산세’일 수 있다는 분석이 나오고 있다.
[1] Cha Eun-woo’s tax case has drawn attention not only for the record 20 billion won ($13.8 million) levy, but for red flags that have raised questions about possible intentional misconduct, triggering a sharp shift in public sentiment toward the once untarnished actor-singer.
draw attention: 이목을 끌다
levy: (특히 세금의) 추가 부담금
red flag: 위험 신호; 경계 징후
misconduct: 위법 ,부당 행위
[2] The case first surfaced after local media reported that Cha had been subjected to a high-intensity probe by the National Tax Service's Seoul Regional Office early last year. The investigation resulted in a 20 billion won additional tax assessment, including unpaid base tax and penalty components, tied to a management company owned by Cha’s mother.
be subjected to: ~을 당하다/겪다
high-intensity: 고강도
probe: 조사
penalty: 처벌; 벌금; 위약금
[3] The family-owned entity was reportedly identified during a routine inspection of Fantagio, the agency that manages Cha and his K-pop group Astro. Authorities flagged the income structure after discovering that Cha’s earnings were split among Fantagio, Cha himself and his mother’s company, an arrangement seen as atypical for contracted entertainers.
entity: 독립체 (business entity 기업체, legal entity 법인)
inspection: 점검, 조사
agency: (특정 서비스를 제공하는) 단체, 기관
split: (몫 등을) 나누다; (사람들의 견해 차이로) 분열되다
[4] At 20 billion won, the assessment marks an unprecedented tax levy on a Korean celebrity and stands out even by global standards. Media reports note that only a handful of international stars have faced larger cases, led by Chinese megastar Fan Bingbing’s 883 million yuan ($120 million) payment in 2018, followed by Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo’s €16.8 million ($20 million) settlement the same year.
assessment: 평가, 평가한 의견, 평가한 금액
unprecedented: 전례 없는
celebrity: 유명 인사
stand out: 눈에 띄다

Tailoring, time travel and return of ceremony at Paris Men’s Fashion Week
기사요약: 2026년 가을·겨울 파리패션위크에서 우영미와 Juun.J는 여행과 의례, 과거와 미래를 잇는 테일러링과 형식미로 한국 패션의 존재감을 각인시켰고, 에르메스·디올·루이비통 등 글로벌 하우스들 역시 격식과 퍼포먼스, 정체성이 교차하는 ‘새로운 클래식’의 귀환을 선언했다.
[1] Korean fashion asserted its place at the heart of Paris Men’s Fashion Week for fall-winter 2026, with Wooyoungmi and Juun.J anchoring the season through collections that balanced heritage and modernity, while global luxury houses from Hermes to Dior and Louis Vuitton framed a week where tailoring, identity and performance converged.
anchor: 중심을 이루다
converge: 수렴하다
[2] Wooyoungmi presented her show on Sunday at the historic Salle Wagram in the 17th Arrondissement, unveiling a collection that reimagined winter travel as an occasion for ceremony. Inspired by journeys spanning steam locomotives to subways, the lineup fused Edwardian and 1960s-70s dandy tailoring with technical outerwear, from velvet blazers and faux astrakhan waistcoats to reversible parkas and sculptural coats.
locomotive: 기관차
fuse: 융합하다
[3] “Winter can be framed as an annoyance or a wonderland. For the fall 2026 collection, Wooyoungmi took the latter view,” the brand said, recasting cold-weather dressing as an act of elegance. Creative director Woo Young-mi looked back to the early 20th century, when the arrival of Korea’s first railway transformed travel into a formal ritual. “Now more grounded in her identity, Woo proposes elegance as a form of courtesy, not a way of showing off,” the show notes added.
annoyance: 성가심
ritual: 의식
be grounded in: ~에 기반하다
[4] Korean cultural references were woven literally into the clothes. Nordic-style knits revealed themselves as dancheong, Korea’s traditional decorative architecture pattern, on closer inspection, while bespoke prints on trench coats featured pagodas, mountains and traditional beoseon socks and gat hats. The soundtrack -- a moody collage of wind, rain and steam engines blended with Korean folk chants reworked through artificial intelligence -- underscored the collection’s dialogue between past and future.
be woven into: ~에 녹아들다

Cha Eun-woo faces W20b tax probe
기사요약: 차은우는 모친이 설립한 법인이 페이퍼컴퍼니로 활용돼 200억원대 탈세를 했다는 의혹으로 국세청 조사를 받고 있으며, 이에 따라 주요 광고주들이 그의 광고물을 비공개·삭제하는 등 거리두기에 나섰다.
[1] Actor and K-pop star Cha Eun-woo is facing allegations of large-scale tax evasion involving a company established by his mother, prompting major advertisers to quietly remove his promotional content.
tax evasion: 탈세
prompt: 촉발하다
[2] Cha, 28, a member of boy group Astro and one of South Korea’s most sought-after endorsers, was recently notified by the National Tax Service Seoul Regional Office that he could owe more than 20 billion won ($13.6 million) in additional income tax following an intensive audit conducted in the first half of last year, according to industry sources.
endoser: 광고 모델
audit: 세무조사
[3] The amount is believed to be the largest ever sought from an individual entertainer. The investigation centers on a company established in October 2022 and registered as a management firm by Cha’s mother, identified by the surname Choi. At the time, the company’s listed address was in Bureun-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon — the same location as an eel restaurant run by Cha’s parents. The firm later relocated its address to an office in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, on Dec. 23 last year, while the family restaurant moved to Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, a month earlier.
be sought for: ~로 요구되다
[4] The National Tax Service determined that the company functioned as a shell company that provided no substantive services to Cha and was allegedly used to distribute portions of his entertainment income under a corporate tax rate. This is lower than the top personal income tax rate of 45 percent.
shell company: 페이퍼컴퍼니
substantive: 실질적인
corporate tax: 법인세
personal income tax: 소득세

Are Korean students rethinking Seoul, STEM and medicine?
기사 요약: 서울 지역과 의대, 이과 전공을 선호하던 한국 학생들의 대학 선택에 변화의 조짐이 보이고 있다.
[1] For more than two decades, getting accepted at top universities in Seoul, preferably in a STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — or medical field, meant academic success for South Korean students and parents.
preferably: 이왕이면, 더 나은, 더 선호되는
STEM: 과학·기술·공학·수학
[2] But recent analyses of high school seniors who took the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test, or Suneung, suggest a possible shift away from medicine and STEM fields, as well as universities in Seoul.
shift away: ~로부터의 변화
[3] On Jan. 4, Jongno Hagwon, a major college entrance preparatory academy, revealed an analysis that showed that only 7,125 students had applied to medical school, representing the lowest figure in the past five years and a 32.3 percent on-year decline. "While it appears that enthusiasm for medical school has cooled, it will be difficult to draw conclusions until next year's admissions cycle unfolds," Jongno Hagwon said.
preparatory: 준비를 위한
draw conclusions: 결론을 내리다
enthusiasm: 열정, 열의
unfold: 접혀 있는 것을 펴다, 내용이 밝혀지다
[4] Other data points suggest that students' long-standing preference for universities in Seoul may also be weakening. This year, the average competition rate for universities in the Seoul metropolitan area stood at 6.01 to 1, compared to 5.61 to 1 for universities in other regions.
long-standing: 오래동안 지속되는

Price of a perfect score
기사 요약: 하나의 시험 문제가 1억 8천만 원에 거래되고, 딸을 위해 학교 시험지를 훔친 어머니가 실형을 선고받는 등, 과도한 교육열과 경쟁이 빚어낸 한국 사회의 단면
[1] In South Korea's hypercompetitive education system, a single exam question can carry a six-figure price tag or a prison sentence.
hypercompetitive: 과도하게 경쟁적인
six-figure: 억대의
[2] Two recent criminal cases, one involving elite private instructors paying vast sums for test questions and another ending with a mother getting jail time for stealing school exam papers, illustrate how academic assessments are increasingly treated as commodities in a society where test scores can shape futures.
vast: 어마어마한, 방대한
illustrate: 보여주다
commodity: 상품
[3] Prosecutors last month indicted some of the country's most prominent private academy instructors on charges of illegally purchasing college entrance exam prep questions from current teachers.
indict: 기소하다
[4] According to the indictment, a well-known mathematics instructor, Hyun Woo-jin, sent nearly 180 million won ($122,000) to a single public school teacher over several years in exchange for test questions. Other teachers reportedly received tens of millions of won through dozens of transactions, including payments routed through a spouse's bank account.
route: v. 특정한 경로, 루트를 통해 보내다, 전송하다.

How far has K-beauty tech come? Korean beauty brands turn heads at CES
기사요약: CES 2026에서 한국 뷰티 기업들은 AI·디지털 헬스 기반의 초개인화 뷰티 테크를 앞세워, 의료와 일상을 아우르는 기술 경쟁력과 글로벌 시장 확장 가능성을 동시에 입증했다.
[1] Korean beauty brands asserted their growing influence at CES 2026, held Tuesday to Friday in Las Vegas, where beauty tech emerged as a serious frontier for artificial intelligence, digital health, and data-driven personalization.
assert: 분명히 드러내다, 강하게 보여주다
frontier: 새로운 개척 영역, 최전선, 미개척 분야
[2] The strongest signal came from Kolmar Korea, which received the best of innovation award in the beauty tech category with its AI-based Scar Beauty Device. The company was also selected as an innovation award honoree in the digital health category. The beauty tech category was introduced only last year, making Kolmar Korea the first cosmetics company to receive the top honor since its inception.
honoree: 수상자
inception: 도입
[3] The device integrates wound treatment and cosmetic coverage into a single system. Using AI trained on large-scale data, it analyzes photographed wounds, classifies them into 12 categories and dispenses tailored treatment via piezoelectric micro-spray technology. It then applies customized cover makeup by blending more than 180 color combinations to match individual skin tones.
integrate: 통합하다
wound: 상처
[4] Another major K-beauty player underscoring the industry’s technological pivot was Amorepacific, which unveiled its vision for data-driven skincare at CES. Skinsight, an electronic-skin platform developed with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is capable of analyzing skin-aging factors in real time through sensor patches.
underscore: 강조하다
pivot: 방향 전환, 전략적 중심 이동

Maximal volume and granola core: Fashion sets tone for 2026
기사요약: 2026년 패션은 맥시멀한 볼륨과 그라놀라 코어를 축으로, 과감한 표현과 절제, 스타일적 존재감과 편안함의 균형을 중심으로 재편되고 있다.
[1] The door to 2026 is open, and fashion is moving with it. Rather than rules, this year’s trends are reference points: a way to assess how personal style aligns with the broader mood shaping wardrobes now. When the alignment feels right, it reinforces confidence; when it doesn’t, it often points toward a shift worth exploring.
align: (개인 스타일·생각 등이) 흐름이나 분위기와 맞아떨어지다, 조화를 이루다
reinforce: 강화하다, 확고히 하다
[2] One of the most visible changes this year is the return of maximalism. After several seasons defined by quiet luxury and restrained dressing, fashion is leaning back into statement silhouettes. Pinterest, which analyzes how users search, save and build digital mood boards, identified maximalism as a key fashion theme for 2026, signaling growing interest in looks that register both on screen and in everyday life.
restrained: 절제된, 과하지 않은
statement: 강한 존재감을 드러내는
[3] This iteration of maximalism, however, is measured. Rather than head-to-toe drama, designers are emphasizing a single bold element — exaggerated shoulders, sculptural shapes or striking jewelry — balanced with otherwise pared-back styling.
bold: 대담한, 과감한
sculptural: 조형적인, 조각처럼 형태감이 강조된
[4] Fashion editor Bora Claire describes designers' current approach as "focused on how to express volume without making it feel heavy or rigid.” “There was a lot of discussion around keeping silhouettes soft, refined and wearable.”
rigid: 딱딱한, 경직된
refined: 정제된, 세련된

Ex-NewJeans member Danielle to face multimillion-dollar damages suit
기사 내용: 연예기획사 어도어가 뉴진스 전 멤버 다니엘과의 전속계약을 해지한 데 이어 손해배상 청구 소송을 통해 법적 책임을 묻겠다고 밝히면서, 다니엘에게 부과될 위약벌이 1,000억 원에 달할 수 있다는 관측도 나오고 있다.
[1] Ador stated Monday that it will take legal action against Danielle, now an ex-member of NewJeans, to seek penalty fees and damages following the company's termination of her contract on the same day.
legal action: 법적 조치
seek: 청하다; 구하다
penalty: 처벌; 벌금
termination: 해지, 종료
[2] While Ador declined to disclose the exact amount it will seek in damages, it noted that penalty fees would be calculated based on formulas already stipulated in the contract.
decline: 거절하다; 사양하다
disclose: 공개하다; 밝히다
stipulated: (조항 등) 법률에 규정된 *stipulate: 규정하다
[3] Exclusive contracts for K-pop idols often stipulate penalties of up to tens of billions of won for early termination, especially when they involve allegations of unauthorized activities or reputational harm.
exclusive: 독점의
contract: 계약
allegation: 혐의
unauthorized: 공인되지 않은, 허가받지 않은
[4] Ador further explained that their decision followed what it described as repeated violations of the exclusive contract it held with Danielle, allegedly including entering into agreements that conflict with her contract with Ador, engaging in unauthorized entertainment activities and actions that damaged the reputation or credibility of both the company and NewJeans.
follow: (시간·순서상으로) 뒤를 잇다, (결과가) 뒤따르다
repeated: 반복되는
violation: 위반; 침해
conflict: 갈등

What were the best K-dramas of 2025?
기사 요약: ‘중증외상센터’, ‘폭싹 속았수다’부터 ‘서울 자가에 대기업 다니는 김 부장 이야기’까지, 올 한 해 큰 사랑을 받은 한국 드라마를 되짚어본다.
[1] The year began strongly with Netflix’s January release of “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call.” The medical drama follows genius surgeon Kang-hyuk (Ju Ji-hoon), balancing heroics with authentic surgical intensity. The drama gained traction by pairing its weighty, human-centered storylines with fantastical depictions of a hero doctor, which added moments of levity to the tension.
strongly: 강하게 *strong: adj. 강한, 힘센
genius: 천재; 특별한 재능
authentic: 진본인; 정확한
gain traction: 주목받기 시작하다
[2] If “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call” set the tone, Netflix’s “When Life Gives You Tangerines” may have delivered one of the year’s biggest breakouts. Anchored by the Hallyu sensation pairing of IU and Park Bo-gum, the series was the cultural touchstone of the first half of 2025 — creating buzz as well as viewership with a story that resonated across ages and borders.
set the tone: 분위기를 정하다; 기조를 제시하다
anchored by: ~에 의해 진행되는, 닻을 내린, 핵심적 존재가 중심을 잡는 역할을 하는
sensation: 큰 반향을 일으킨 사람, 사건, 콘텐츠
touchstone: 기준
[3] Other streaming titles also left their mark. Disney+’s “Tempest,” starring Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won, ranked second worldwide among the over-the-top service's originals during its run. Domestically, though, the series struggled to sustain momentum, facing stiff competition and fading post-release discussion despite its some 50 billion won ($34 million) budget and A-list cast.
worldwide: 전세계적인
struggle: 힘겹게 ~하다
momentum: (일의 진행에 있어서의) 탄력; 가속도
stiff: 뻣뻣한, 딱딱한 *stiff competition 치열한 경쟁
[4] Later in the year, “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim,” starring Ryu Seung-ryong as an everyman facing unemployment, family life and office politics, struck a chord with viewers. It topped Netflix Korea’s TV chart while logging peak ratings of 7.6 percent with its grounded, relatable storytelling.
everyman: 평범한 사람
unemployment: 실직; 실업
strike a chord: 심금을 울리다, 공감을 불러일으키다
relatable: 공감 가능한; 연관있다고 느끼는

When wealthy call themselves poor
기사 요약: 최근 소셜 미디어에서 유행하는 ‘가난 챌린지’를 두고, 실제로는 부유한 삶을 살면서 스스로를 가난하다고 표현하는 게시물들이 빈곤을 희화화한다는 비판이 제기되고 있다.
[1] A new South Korean social media trend that pairs conspicuous displays of wealth with ironic references to poverty is drawing backlash for trivializing economic hardship.
conspicuous: 두드러진
trivialize: 사소하게 만들다, 하찮아 보이게 만들다
[2] Dubbed the "poverty challenge," the trend involves users sharing photos or videos showcasing a luxurious lifestyle — including high-end cars, designer goods and expensive travel — while captioning the posts with phrases such as "this unbearable poverty" or "this exhausting life of poverty."
poverty: 가난
unbearable: 견딜 수 없는
exhausting: 진을 빼는
[3] Recent posts circulating online include images of instant noodles eaten in first class airline cabins described as “severe poverty,” a 15 million won ($11,000) Dior baby stroller framed as a purchase that left a family “broke,” and photos taken from the driver’s seat of luxury sports cars with designer watches visible, accompanied by captions lamenting the lack of money for fuel.
circulate: 순환하다, (소문 등이) 유포되다, 돌다
lament: 슬퍼하다, 한탄하다
[4] Online reaction has been largely negative. Many users questioned whether poverty should be used as a joke, saying the posts cross a line.
cross a line: 선을 넘다

Coupang’s W1.7tr payout plan fails to quell public anger
기사 요약: 쿠팡이 최근 발생한 대규모 고객 정보 유출 사건과 관련해 1조 6,850억 원 규모의 보상안을 내놓았지만, 소비자 단체들은 이를 소비자를 기만하는 조치라며 비판했다.
[1] Coupang said Monday it will roll out a 1.685 trillion won ($1.2 billion) compensation package — worth roughly 10 percent of its quarterly sales — in an effort to restore customer trust after a major data breach.
compensation: 보상
restore: 회복하다
breach: 파기, 위반
[2] Starting Jan. 15, the company will distribute 50,000-won vouchers to 33.7 million users whose personal data was compromised in late November.
distribute: 나누어 주다
voucher: 상품권
compromise: 타협하다, 훼손하다
[3] Coupang’s compensation plan, however, drew sharp criticism from the Korean National Council of Consumer Organizations, which dismissed it as a superficial gesture aimed at easing public backlash rather than offering meaningful redress.
dismiss: 일축하다
superficial: 표면적인
backlash: 반발
redress: (n) 보상, 배상 (v) 바로잡다, 시정하다
[4] With a large portion of the vouchers usable only on less frequently used services, the group said the plan effectively pushes customers to spend more on Coupang’s platforms rather than providing substantive restitution for the breach.
substantive: 실질적인
restitution: 보상, 배상, 반환

When 'oppa' becomes '-ssi': linguistic markers of K-drama
기사 요약: "오빠"와 "-씨" 라는 호칭의 미묘한 간극으로 바뀌는 드라마 속의 관계, 호칭의 언어학으로 풀어내는 K-드라마
[1] If you've ever felt a K-drama relationship quietly recalibrate without a clear blowup, the explanation is often linguistic rather than plot-driven.
recalibrate: 다시 조정하다
blowup: 폭발, 큰 싸움
linguistic: 언어의
[2] Korean is a language that prioritizes relationships and social context over individual identity, and the way one person addresses another often betrays how they truly feel. In this regard, titles and honorifics frequently do the storytelling in K-dramas that the script doesn't explain in detail. Certain titles recur so often across K-dramas that recognizing them becomes a form of essential viewing literacy.
address: 호칭하다. ~에게 말을 걸다.
recur: 되풀이 되다, 재발하다
[3] "Hyung" is literally translated as older brother, but that definition goes deeper in the K-drama context. In practice, hyung operates as a linguistic shortcut to chosen family. When used outside of blood relationships, it establishes a bond rooted in deep friendship and intimacy. When Nak-soo in "The Dream Life of Mr. Kim" refers to his workplace superior as hyung rather than by an official title, the atmosphere shifts. The hierarchy largely disappears, with the title signaling personal intimacy that exists beyond workplace ranks.
in practice: 실제로는
operate: 가동하다, 작동하다
shortcut: 지름길

From loneliness to rebuilding identity: Inside lives of expat spouses in Korea
기사 요약: 남편을 따라 한국에 살게 되면서 유망한 커리어를 포기해야 했던 국내 체류 외국인 여성들. 한국에서의 삶과 그 속에서 다시 찾아가는 성장의 이야기
[1] On a weekday morning in Seoul, a group of women introduced themselves in a mix of accents: Indian, Danish, French, American, German and more. Some wheeled strollers. Others arrived straight from school drop-off.
stroller: 유모차
drop-off: 차로 내려줌
[2] Nearly all of them, at some point in their lives, had been the person at the center of a meeting room, a project or a team. In South Korea, many now find themselves identified first as something else: someone’s mother or someone's wife -- an "expat spouse.”
identify A as B: A를 B로 규정, 확인하다, 설명하다
expat: (고국이 아닌 곳에 거주하는) 국외 거주자 (expatriate)
[3] One of them is 43-year-old Yolekha Mallier, who arrived in Seoul from Seattle two years ago. With two young children, she carried with her a decadelong career leading product teams at Amazon. She always had a certainty that work — meaningful, stimulating work — would anchor her idedntity.
decade-long: 10년 간의
anchor: 닻을 내리다, 근간이 되다
[4] For Inger Winther Johannsen, the free fall came unexpectedly.
Back in Denmark, Winther Johannsen had a career she loved rooted in public welfare. With genuine passion, she developed programs for families and children in vulnerable situations, supported advocacy groups and led nonprofit teams.
free fall: 자유 낙하, 갑작스러운 하락
advocacy: 변호. 지지

Officetel, a unique form of living that has its ups and downs
기사 요약: 한국의 도심에서 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 거주 형태인 ‘오피스텔’은 단기 거주에 편리하지만, 계약 구조상의 한계 등 단점이 있어서 입주 전 꼼꼼한 확인이 필요하다.
[1] As in many countries, South Korea’s single-person households often choose studio or small apartments — commonly called “one-room” or “two-room” here, depending on their size.
commonly: 흔히
depend on (something) : ~에 의존하다
[2] One of the most popular alternatives is the officetel, a hybrid commercial-residential unit classified as quasi-housing under the Housing Act.
alternative: 대안
quasi- : 유사의
[3] As its name suggests, it can be used for both work and living, though most units are occupied solely as residences.
occupy: 사용하다, 차지하다
solely: 오로지
[4] An officetel building typically combines offices, retail spaces and residential units under one roof, functioning as a self-contained microliving environment.
function: 기능하다
self-contained: 자립적인, 자급자족하는, 독립적인

Marathon coach in viral finish-line video receives heavy penalty
기사 요약: 인천국제마라톤 결승선에서 삼척시청 소속 육상 감독과 선수의 모습이 담긴 영상이 온라인에서 논란이 된 가운데, 해당 감독은 직무 태만과 직권 남용 등을 이유로 1년 6개월간 자격 정지 처분을 받았다.
[1] Coach Kim Wan-ki of the Samcheok City Hall marathon team, whose attempt at postrace care of a marathoner at the finish line sparked heated debate online last month, has been heavily penalized.
spark: 촉발시키다
debate: 토론
penalize: 처벌하다
[2] The Samcheok Sports Council said Thursday that Kim has been suspended from duties for one year and six months for negligence of duty, abuse of authority, human rights violations and workplace harassment
suspend: 중지하다
negligence: 태만
abuse: 남용
harassment: 괴롭힘
[3] Controversy erupted after a video of Kim making what some viewers interpreted as “inappropriate” physical contact with marathoner Lee Su-min at the 2025 Incheon International Marathon went viral.
erupt: 분출하다
inappropriate: 부적절한
[4] Lee, a 33-year-old runner with the Samcheok City Hall track team, won the women’s elite division at the 2025 Incheon International Marathon on Nov. 23. As she crossed the finish line, Kim approached her and attempted to drape a towel over her upper body. Lee grimaced and pushed him away. The moment, captured in the live broadcast, quickly spread online.
drape: 걸치다
grimace: 얼굴을 찡그리다

How a Shinsegae heiress became K-pop’s most-watched rookie
기사 요약: 대부분의 K팝 아이돌이 평범한 가정에서 오랜 연습생 생활 끝에 데뷔하는 것과 달리, 신세계 가문 출신인 애니는 ‘재벌가 아이돌’이라는 이색적인 이력으로 특별한 주목을 받고 있다.
[1] Born into the Shinsegae family, which controls one of South Korea’s largest retail empires, Annie is the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group chair Lee Myung-hee and the eldest daughter of company president Chung Yoo-kyung. Lee, the youngest daughter of the late Samsung founder Lee Byung-chul, is also the aunt of current Samsung chairman Lee Jae-yong.
*retail: 소매
*empire: 제국
*eldest: 가장 나이가 많은
*current: 현재의; 지금의
[2] Annie, the first known chaebol heiress to enter the K-pop industry, drew widespread attention long before her official debut. News that she was training under The Black Label went viral in February 2024, putting her in the public eye months ahead of schedule.
*heiress: (특히 상당한 재산의) 여자 상속인, 상속녀
*widespread: 광범위한, 널리 퍼진
*viral: (인터넷을 통한) 입소문의, (인터넷을 통해 바이러스처럼) 급속히 번지는
*public eye: 대중의 시선, 관심이 집중되는 상태
[3] She has been active as a performer for a little over a year, and appears to have made a strong entry — particularly in South Korea, where chaebol families have long been viewed with skepticism over their wealth, influence and tight control of corporate management.
*active: 활동하는, 활동적인
*performer: 공연하는 사람
*skepticism: 회의론
- wealth: 부, 재산
[4] Unlike most K-pop rookies — who begin training in their childhood or early teens, come from modest backgrounds and spend years in rigorous training -- Annie's upbringing was different. She received an elite education -- as other chaebol kids do -- but her passion for K-pop was the same as ordinary would-be idols.
*rookie: 신인
*modest: 겸손한, 수수한
*rigorous: 엄격한
*upbringing: 양육, (가정) 교육, 성장 과정

'Endangered Love' sets Lee Chan-hyuk apart in a trend-obsessed K-pop music scene
기사 요약: 포화된 K팝 시장에서 대중성과 예술성의 균형을 잡은 이찬혁의 ‘멸종위기사랑’은 분명한 메시지와 탄탄한 스토리텔링으로 대중의 마음을 사로잡았다.
[1] In South Korea's highly saturated music scene, similar tunes and repetitive hooks dominate the mainstream, and a song's popularity is often measured by the size of its singer's fandom. Lee Chan-hyuk of indie pop band AKMU took a different approach.
*saturated: 포화된; 흠뻑 젖은
*repetitive: (계속) 반독되는; (지루할·단조로운 정도로) 반복적인
*dominate: 지배하다; ~의 가장 중요한 특징이 되다
*mainstream: (사상·견해 등의) 주류; 대세
[2] Many K-pop releases tend to place heavy emphasis on photo concepts and universe storylines. But the 29-year-old's second album "Eros," released in July, delves into the emotional void and inner turmoil that follow the loss of another person. It extends the thematic arc of his first album "Error," where he first explored the concept of death.
*emphasis: 강조; 주안점
*delve into: ~를 자세히 탐구하다, ~를 깊이 파고들다
*void: 공허감; (커다란) 빈 공간
*turmoil: 혼란; 소란
[3] In a big swerve from the usual fluffy, performance-driven loud beats, Lee's album cuts through the noise with a bold mix of genres layered over a distinctly 1980s retro synth-pop base. At first, the songs may not grab listeners the way other K-pop tracks do, but his self-crafted, nine-track album doesn't just aim to entertain listeners with good visuals. It wants to be heard.
*swerve: 방향을 바꾸다(틀다)
*genre: 종류; 유형; (문학·예술의) 장르; 양식
*retro: 복고풍의
*entertain: 즐겁게 해주다
[4] The album explores love -- yes, a familiar theme in music -- but goes further, diving into the emotions of emptiness, numbness and the surreal disorientation of youth in a society that pressures you to conform, inviting music listeners to his unique artistic flair. Its reflections linger, resonating long after the music ends.
*explore: 탐험하다; 탐구하다; 분석하다
*familiar: 익숙한; 친숙한
*disorientation: 방향 감각 상실; 혼미; (disorient: 혼란스럽게[갈피를 못 잡게] 만들다)
*conform: (관습 등에) 따르다; (규칙·법 등에) 따르다

From 'soft no's to hidden anger: Why Koreans communicate indirectly
기사 요약: 한국의 집단 중심적이고 계층적인 문화에서 직설적인 표현을 피하려는 경향이 강하게 나타나며, 이로 인해 분노나 불만을 간접적이고 수동적으로 표출하는 경향이 있다.
[1] A few weeks ago, Kim working for a government agency was reprimanded by his boss after a misunderstanding spiraled out of control. The boss, fresh from being scolded by his own superior, turned to Kim with anger in his eyes and demanded, “Do I have to go through this because of you?”
reprimand: 질책하다
spiral: (상황이) 악화되다
[2] Kim froze. He knew the situation had been caused by an unforeseen complication, not by any mistake on his part. He wanted to say, “It wasn’t my fault,” but the words wouldn’t come out.
unforeseen: 예기치 않은
complication: 복잡한 문제
[3] “If I talked back, I thought his voice would get louder. I didn’t want a scene in the office. It would have been even more humiliating,” he said. “So I stayed silent.” But his silence left a mark.
to cause a scene: 큰 소란을 일으키다
humiliate: 창피를 주다
[4] Before the incident, Kim and his boss occasionally stepped out for a smoke together. Afterward, Kim started pulling away emotionally. When the boss asked him to join him, he lied that he had already gone. His motivation for work also deteriorated. He slowed down his work on purpose and left the office exactly at six, even if tasks were unfinished.
motivation: 동기
deteriorate: 악화되다

Historic Tapgol Park declared alcohol-free zone
진행자: 홍유, Chelsea Proctor
기사요약: 종로구가 역사적 가치 보존과 무질서 행위 방지를 위해 탑골공원을 금주 구역으로 지정하고, 문화재 보호 대책도 마련하기로 했다.
[1] Tapgol Park in central Seoul, known as the first modern park in the country, has been designated as a no-drinking zone as part of district officials' efforts to preserve the prominent historic site.
preserve: 보존하다
prominent: 두드러진
[2] The Jongno District Office said Monday that drinking alcoholic beverages or possessing an open bottle of such drink have been banned inside the park, having taken effect Oct. 20. The grace period for the new policy extends to March 2026. Violators face an administrative fine of 100,000 won ($68) starting April 1.
possess: 소유하다
grace period: 유예기간
[3] Jongno-gu, populated by 137,449 people as of October, is widely regarded as a central region of the South Korean capital for housing headquarters of several prominent government organizations, along with sites of historical and cultural heritage. This includes Tapgol Park, formerly called Pagoda Park, which was built during the fleeting years of the Joseon era, in the Korean Empire.
be regarded as: ~로 여겨지다
fleeting: 잠깜의
[4] It holds a particular significance in the country's history as the epicenter for the March First Movement in 1919 for Korea's independence from Japan, as the declaration of independence was read in the Tapgol Park.
significance: 중요성
epicenter: (사건의) 중심지

What drove Korea's school meal workers out of the kitchen?
기사 요약: 학교 급식실 노동자들이 파업에 나서 학생들이 대체식을 먹는 가운데, 노동자들은 낮은 임금과 강도 높은 업무가 자신들의 건강까지 위협하고 있다고 주장했다.
[1] School cooks and other nonregular school staff began a nationwide walkout last week, calling for improved wages, pay during school breaks and better welfare. But the workers say these demands, while important, only skim the surface of what pushed thousands to walk out of Korea’s schools.
walkout: 파업 (=strike)
A walkout is a spontaneous or planned protest where workers leave their jobs together, while a strike is a more formal, organized work stoppage, often with a specific union vote and no set end date
skim: 훑어보다, 표면을 스치다
[2] The school staff strike has been sparked by a deeper crisis, they say — one shaped by toxic working environments that treat the workers responsible for feeding Korea’s children as second-class citizens.
treat: 어떤 태도로 대하다, 대접하다 / 선물, 간식
[3] The workers say they have suffered years of breathing carcinogenic fumes, fainting in overheated kitchens, returning to work with lingering injuries and watching coworkers fall ill, sometimes fatally.
carcinogenic: 발암성의, 암을 유발하는
faint: 기절하다
lingering: 오래 끄는, 사라지지 않는
[4] They cite the case of a Seoul school cafeteria worker in her 50s, who learned she had lung cancer in 2023 after a CT scan. Doctors suggested it was caused by cooking fumes generated during frying and high-heat food preparation. The World Health Organization classifies these cooking emissions as probably carcinogenic.

Beloved ‘grandfather’ Lee Soon-jae dies at 91 after lifetime on stage and screen
기사 요약: 현역 최고령 배우로 활동해 온 이순재가 향년 91세로 별세하며, 애도 물결이 이어지고 있다.
[1] Actor Lee Soon-jae, a towering figure in Korean entertainment and one of the nation’s longest-working performers, died Tuesday. He was 91. According to his family, Lee died early on Tuesday morning.
towering: 대단히 뛰어난
[2] Even in advanced age, Lee had continued to work across television, film and theater, remaining active until late 2024, when health problems forced him to withdraw midway through the run of the play “Waiting for Waiting for Godot.” His final screen appearance came in the KBS series “Dog Knows Everything,” which aired in September and October 2024. He accepted the broadcaster’s top acting prize at its year-end awards show in January before stepping back to rest.
withdraw: 물러나다, 중단하다
midway: 중간에 (=halfway)
[3] During a 69-year illustrious career, Lee created some of the most indelible characters in Korean popular culture: the stern yet comedic “Daebal's Father,” the mischievous “Yadong Soon-jae” and the globe-trotting “Grandpa Over Flowers” persona that endeared him to younger generations. A consummate craftsperson, he often said that “a lifetime of acting still isn’t enough,” approaching each role as if it might be his last. With his passing, his acting life has taken its final bow.
illustrious: 저명한, 걸출한
indelible: 잊을 수 없는
mischievous: 짓궃은, 말썽꾸러기의
globe-trotting: 세계를 누비는
endear A to B: A를 B에게 사랑받게 하다

Working parents challenge ban on dawn delivery
기사 요약: 새벽배송 금지 제안을 둘러싼 논쟁이 이어지는 가운데, 제도 유지를 요구하는 소비자 청원이 5천 명 넘는 동의를 얻었다.
[1] Korea’s dawn delivery services are drawing renewed attention after a public petition opposing possible restrictions gained thousands of signatures, following online speculation that the system may be curbed to address working-condition concerns for couriers.
petition: 청원
courier: 운반원
[2] The petition posted on the National Assembly’s public petition platform has received more than 5,000 signatures since it was uploaded on Thursday.
post: 게시하다, (게시물 등)을 올리다
signature: 서명
[3] In it, a working mother raising two children wrote that dawn delivery had become “an important means of sustaining daily life” for families who return home late at night and rely on overnight delivery for groceries and school-supply orders.
means: 수단
sustain: 지속 가능하게 하다
grocery: 식료품 및 잡화
[4] “When supermarkets are closed, it is often the only way to get school supplies and breakfast for our children before they leave for school,” she wrote, urging lawmakers to consider “what citizens truly need” before making any changes to the system.
urge: 강력히 권고하다
lawmaker: 국회의원

'Not again' Seoul's running boom sparks frustration
기사 요약: 서울 도심에서 마라톤 행사가 주말마다 열리며 도로 통제가 반복되자, 시민·상인·관광객의 불편이 커지고 행사 난립을 규제해야 한다는 목소리도 높아지고 있다.
[1] As running becomes one of South Korea’s fastest-growing pastimes, Seoul is facing a new challenge: a marathon calendar packed so tightly that major roads are blocked almost every weekend, prompting widespread complaints that the city’s fitness fever is pushing everyday life off course.
pastime: 취미
complaint: 불평
fever: 열망
[2] Streets in central districts, from Gwanghwamun and Jongno to the Han River bridges, have been repeatedly shut down for early-morning events that funnel tens of thousands of runners through the city’s most heavily trafficked corridors.
repeatedly: 반복적으로
funnel: 좁은 공간으로 밀다
corridor: 통로
[3] On Sunday, another large-scale race, hosted by a local media group, drew an estimated 30,000 participants. The course required step-by-step traffic control, diverting buses and vehicles throughout the morning.
divert: 방향을 바꾸게 하다
[4] For many residents and workers, however, it was a growing strain. “It’s good to run for health, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of ordinary citizens,” said Kim Keon-ho, 72, who found himself rerouted Sunday morning.
strain: 부담
at the expense of ~ : ~을 희생하면서
reroute: 바꾸다

기사 제목: Doubts grow over 'world-class' claims of Pyongyang General Hospital
기사 요약: 이달 초 문을 연 북한 평양종합병원은 2천 병상 규모를 갖춘 대형 시설이지만, 이에 비해 의료 장비는 여전히 크게 부족해 보인다.
[1] North Korea's newly opened Pyongyang General Hospital, hailed by state media as a facility at the "world's best level," is drawing skepticism after Seoul officials and observers said it appears to lack even basic modern medical equipment.
-
hail: (특히 신문 등에서 아주 훌륭하거나 특별한 것으로) 묘사하다
-
skepticism: 회의론
-
lack of: ~의 부족
[2] The hospital, which began admitting patients Monday, according to the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency, after more than five years of construction, was touted by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as the heart of national health modernization. Yet photographs and videos released by state outlets KCNA and Korean Central Television show only limited equipment — notably a computed tomography scanner and an X-ray machine, with no sign of a magnetic resonance imaging device or other high-end diagnostic systems.
-
admit: 입장하게 하다; (무엇이 사실임을 마지못해) 인정하다
-
tout: 장점을 내세우다, 홍보하다
-
modernization: 현대화
-
high-end: 고급의
[3] Despite its impressive infrastructure — with a helipad, grand lobby and conference halls — as shown in photos and videos, the hospital's interior suggests serious technological shortfalls.
-
despite: ~에도 불구하고
-
impressive: 인상적인
-
suggest: 시사하다; 암시하다
-
shortfall: 부족한 양
[4] A Seoul Unification Ministry official, requesting anonymity, said Wednesday that Seoul's assessment, based on the photos, indicates that the facility likely "struggled to secure high-priced, cutting-edge medical equipment." The official added that the most expensive device seen during Kim's inspection was a CT scanner, underscoring Pyongyang's continued challenges under international sanctions restricting imports of advanced medical technology.
-
anonymity: 익명성
-
assessment: 평가(한 의견)
-

기사 제목: Talk of Beijing's lifting Hallyu ban 'premature': Presidential Committee on Popular Culture Exchange
기사 교약: 시진핑 중국 국가주석이 한중 정상회담 만찬 자리에서 한국 가수의 중국 공연 제안에 긍정적으로 반응했다는 일부 언론 보도와 관련해, 대중문화교류위는 이를 과도하게 해석하는 것은 신중할 필요가 있으며, 성급한 판단이라는 입장을 밝혔다.
[1] Amid rising hopes that Beijing will lift its unofficial Hallyu ban, following South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping's in-person summit on Saturday, the Presidential Committee on Popular Culture Exchange remained cautious, stressing it remains too early to draw conclusions.
-
raise hope: 희망을 드높이다
-
lift: ~을 없애다; ~을 들어올리다
-
summit: 정상회담; (산의) 정상
-
cautious: 조심스러운
[2] In a press release Sunday, the committee dismissed news reports that Xi had "responded favorably" to Park Jin-young's suggestion during the Korea-China banquet that Korean artists be allowed to perform in China. Park, the founder of K-pop powerhouse JYP Entertainment, co-chairs the committee launched last month aimed at promoting exchanges and fostering the sector into a globally competitive industry.
-
respond: (남의 말·행동에 대해 특정한) 반응을 보이다
-
favorably: 호의적으로, 호의를 가지고
-
suggestion: 제안, 의견
-
banquet: (공식적, 형식을 갖춘) 연회, 만찬
[3] This comes after several news outlets reported that Saturday's high-stakes meeting signaled a thaw from the period of diplomatic chill that followed Seoul's 2016 decision to install the US' THAAD missile defense system on its soil. As a form of retaliation, China essentially banned performances on its soil of Hallyu, also known as the Korean Wave, including K-pop -- though it has never officially acknowledged the policy.
-
high-stakes: 중대한 이해 관계가 걸린 (stakes: 걸린 돈, 판돈)
-
thaw: (적대적이던 국가 사이의) 해빙기; 녹다
-
chill: 냉기
-
retaliation: 보복
[4] Calling such interpretations "premature," the committee said it is too early to assume any changes or read too much into the discussion. However, it noted that the friendly and cooperative atmosphere established during the summit could help pave the way for more cultural exchanges between the countries in the future.
-
interpretation: 해석; 이해
-
premature: 시기상조의; 너무 이른
-
assume: (사실일 것으로) 추정하다
-
atmosphere: (한정된 공간의) 분위기, 공기

From 'oppa' to 'ajumma': How honorifics shape K-drama
진행자: 홍유, Tannith Kriel
기사요약: 로맨스의 설렘부터 세대 간 긴장까지, 한국어에서 호칭 한마디는 관계의 위계와 거리감을 그대로 비춘다. 이 미묘한 호칭 문화를 이해해야 장면 속 진짜 의미가 보인다.
[1] If you’re a K-drama fan, chances are you’ve come across the world of Korean honorifics -- those small yet powerful words that can define entire relationships.
honorifics: 상대에 대한 존중, 나이·지위·관계를 반영해 쓰는 높임 표현 또는 호칭
[2] In a language built around relationships, these titles, from "oppa" and "eonni" to "seonbae" and "hubae," serve as emotional cues that drive storytelling and shape character dynamics in ways that English subtitles cannot replicate.
emotional cues: 감정 상태나 분위기 변화를 암시하는 언어적·비언어적 신호
dynamics: 인물 간 관계의 상호작용과 변화하는 힘의 흐름
[3] Here, we explore some of the most commonly used terms that shape the subtle subtext of K-drama storytelling.
subtle: 겉으로 드러나지 않지만 섬세하고 미묘한
subtext: 직접 말하지 않고 숨겨진 의미나 의도, 장면 밑에 흐르는 메시지
[4]Take "oppa," perhaps one of the most well-known terms in all of Korean pop culture. Literally meaning “older brother,” it’s used by women to address older men -- from actual siblings to boyfriends and close male friends. In dramas, when a woman suddenly starts calling a man oppa instead of his name, it usually signals that the emotional stakes have changed. It’s shorthand for romantic tension. Think "My Demon" or "Reply 1997" -- that single word can alter the emotional flow of the story.
emotional stakes: 감정적으로 걸려 있는 이해관계·위험도, 감정적 긴장도
shorthand: 복잡한 감정이나 의미를 단어·표현 하나로 간단히 전달하는 장치

Clever strategy or cultural misstep? Crown gift to Trump has people talking
진행자: 홍유, Tannith Kriel
기사요약: 이재명 대통령이 고대 신라 금관 복제품을 도널드 트럼프 전 미국 대통령에게 선물하자, 미국 내 ‘노 킹스’ 시위와 시기 문제로 논란이 일었지만 일부는 이를 실리 외교로 옹호하며 찬반이 엇갈렸다.
[1] President Lee Jae Myung presenting a gold crown to US President Donald Trump immediately sparked heated debate in both the United States and South Korea, with many expressing bewilderment at the timing and cultural implications of the gift.
spark a debate: 논쟁을 촉발하다, 뜨거운 논의를 불러일으키다
bewilderment: 당혹감, 혼란스러움
implication: 함의, 의미
[2] In online South Korean communities, opinions were divided. Some criticized the gesture as “tone-deaf” in the wake of massive “No Kings” demonstrations in the US, while others viewed it as a strategic act of pragmatic diplomacy, particularly given the high-stakes tariff negotiations then underway between the two nations.
tone-deaf: 분위기·정서를 파악하지 못하는, 상황을 잘못 읽는
pragmatic: 실용적인, 현실적인 접근을 하는
[3] At the center of the controversy is a specially crafted replica of a gold crown excavated from the Cheonmachong Tomb in Gyeongju, believed to date to the fifth or sixth century during the ancient Silla Kingdom (57 BC-AD 935). Lee conferred the crown, along with the Order of Mugunghwa, Korea’s highest honor, to Trump during their summit on Wednesday in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The original crown, unearthed in the late 1970s in Silla capital Gyeongju, has been designated as National Treasure No. 188.
excavated: 발굴된, 파내어진 (고고학적 발견에서 사용)
confer: (상·칭호 등을) 수여하다, 부여하다
[4] The replica was crafted from approximately 1 kilogram of gold, which alone currently commands a market price of around 187 million won ($131,000).
command: (특정 가격을) 얻다, 형성하다

'Pig-butchering' takes hold in Korea
기사 요약: 캄보디아 사건을 계기로 새로운 로맨스 스캠 기법 "돼지 도살," 과거 스캠 방식보다 더 정교하고 피해 규모 커져
[1] South Korea is facing a surge in romance scams that are increasingly intertwined with cryptocurrency investment fraud, costing victims more than 100 billion won ($70 million) so far this year, while the arrest rate remains below 50 percent.
intertwine: 뒤얽히다, 밀접하게 관련되다
fraud: 사기
[2] According to data submitted to Democratic Party of Korea Rep. Han Byung-do by the National Police Agency, there were 1,565 reported cases of romance scams from January to September this year, with total losses rising 48 percent from 2024. Despite the increase, suspects have been apprehended in only 46.9 percent of cases, which is up from 12.7 percent in 2024.
apprehend: 체포하다
[3] Romance scams, which exploit emotional relationships built online, have become more elaborate by combining fake cryptocurrency investments and “pig-butchering” tactics — a method where fraudsters “fatten up” their victims with false affection and small initial profits before “butchering” them with large-scale financial losses.
exploit: 이용하다, 착취하다
elaborate: 정교한, 복잡한 v.설명하다
pig-butchering: 돼지 도살
fatten up: 대상을 살찌우다
[4] Criminals contact victims through social media or dating apps, maintain daily conversations to build intimacy and then introduce investment platforms that display fabricated returns. Once victims invest substantial amounts or try to withdraw funds, the platforms disappear and communication ceases.
fabricated: 만들어진, 거짓된
substantial: 상당한, 큰

[1] South Korean police have drawn up a strict response plan to deal with anti-China protests ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Gyeongju, warning that such demonstrations could harm the country’s diplomatic, social and economic interests as well as affect the nation’s international standing during the high-profile event
draw up: 적다, 정리하다/ 계획을 세우다
standing: 지위, 평판
[2] According to an internal police document obtained by Democratic Party lawmaker Yang Bu-nam, the police have established a special task force to monitor and respond to the spread of false or malicious information in real time. The task force will target cases of intentional misinformation, fact distortion and online incitement, which it says go beyond the limits of free speech.
malicious: 악의적인
incitement: 폭력적, 불법적인 일의 선동
[3] The document also outlines a coordinated plan to counter far-right rallies that target China or Chinese nationals, particularly during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the country for the APEC summit.
counter: 대응하다 (=counteract)
[4] It also cited recent demonstrations in downtown Seoul, where participants tore Chinese flags and defaced banners featuring Xi’s image, describing them as potential diplomatic flashpoints but acknowledging “limitations in imposing penalties.”
cite: 예시를 들다, 인용하다
deface: 외관을 훼손하다

[1] In a quiet southern city known for its ancient tombs and golden pagodas, cranes now rise beside temple spires.
tomb: 무덤

[2] Lanterns are being strung across the lakeside streets of a tourist complex in Gyeongju, where heads of state will soon stroll beneath golden LED lights.

pledge: 약속
to draw concerns: 우려를 일으키다

K-pop's struggle with ‘tampering’
기사요약: "중소돌의 기적"이라 불리며 소속사 어트랙트와 걸그룹 피프티피프티는 "큐피드"로 글로벌 인기를 얻었지만, 멤버들은 전속계약 해지를 주장했고, 어트랙트는 외부 세력이 템퍼링을 시도했다고 강하게 반발. 케이팝 산업에서 "템퍼링"에 대한 궁금증이 커지는데, 연예계 종사자들이 사건을 주시하는 이유는?
[1] From Fifty Fifty and EXO-CBX to NewJeans, the ever-popular K-pop scene has recently been overshadowed by tampering disputes that insiders warn could shake the foundation of the industry.
overshadow: 우울한 그늘을 드리우다, 신이나지 않게 만들다
tampering: 손대다, 함부로 변경하다 tamper with: 매수하다, 부정 수단을 쓰다
insider: 내부자
[2] Tampering, in K-pop, refers to unauthorized contact by an outside party — typically a rival agency or producer — with an artist still bound by an exclusive contract. While such cases were sometimes overlooked in the past, the massive investments required to launch an idol group, and the increased rewards that come with the industry's growth, have made a quiet settlement an increasingly tall order.
bound: bind-묶다; 독점 계약에 묶인
** 어떤 상황이 불가피하게 일어날 것 이다 = Something is bound to happen
overlook: 간과하다,// 잘못 된 것을 못 본체하다
tall order: 무리한 요구
[3] Fifty Fifty dispute sets precedent. The most high-profile case erupted with girl group Fifty Fifty, who rose to global fame in 2023 with their Billboard Hot 100 hit “Cupid.”
erupt: 폭발하다, 터지다
[4] But in June that year, the group shocked the industry by filing for an injunction to suspend their contracts with their agency Attrakt. The agency responded by accusing “external forces” of trying to poach the members, raising suspicions of tampering. Those said to be behind the alleged attempt included none other than The Givers CEO Ahn Sung-il, who produced “Cupid,” along with two others.
injunction: 법원 명령

[1] Kim Ji-hyun, a woman in her 30s from Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, said goodbye last year to Kong, her 17-year-old Maltese. She visited a pet funeral home in a nearby city, equipped with a crematorium, to hold a final farewell for her longtime companion.

-flock: (많은 수가) 떼 지어 가다, 오다, 모이다
-dermatology: 피부과학
-sought-after: 많은 사람들이 원하는, 수요가 많은
[2] According to statistics provided by the Korea Health Industry Development Institute on Thursday, 705,044 patients of foreign nationality received dermatology treatments in Korea in 2024. This marks a 117-fold increase from 2009, when just 6,015 foreign patients sought dermatology care.

How will 'Yellow Envelope' bill reshape Korea's labor landscape?
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 20년 만에 통과된 '노란봉투법', 어떤 내용이며 한국의 노동 지형에 어떤 변화를 가져올까?
[1] South Korea’s labor relations are set for a major shift. On Aug. 24, South Korea’s National Assembly passed a landmark amendment to the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, better known as the "Yellow Envelope" bill.
-shift: 변화
-landmark: 획기적인, 중요한 사건, 발견
-amendment: 법의 개정, 수정
[2] With 183 lawmakers voting in favor and only three against, the legislation marks the culmination of a 20-year demand from the labor movement to strengthen the constitutional right to organize, bargain and strike.
-culmination: (오랫동안 계속된 일의) 정점
-bargain: 협상하다
-strike: 파업하다 (치다, 때리다)

-wield: (권력, 권위 등을) 행사하다
-segmented: 분할된, 나뉘어진
[4] “This law is not mainly about empowering workers in large firms who already enjoy strong protections,” said Lee Byoung-hoon, professor emeritus of sociology at Chung-Ang University. “The real purpose is to support those in the secondary or marginalized labor market — subcontracted, non-regular and platform workers — who have long been outside the reach of effective labor rights.”

'Every parent needs a daughter': Why Korean parents are falling for girls
기사 요약: 아들 선호 시대가 저물고, 한국 사회에서는 예비 부모들의 뚜렷한 딸 선호 현상이 나타나고 있다. 그 이유와 사회적 배경을 짚어본다.
[1] A Gallup International survey of 44,783 adults in 44 countries, conducted between October last year and February this year, asked, “If you could have only one child, would you want a son, a daughter, or does the gender not matter?”
conduct: 하다
gender: 성별
matter: 중요하다, 문제되다
[2] Twenty-eight percent of 1,534 Korean respondents answered that they would prefer a daughter. Barely half of that, at 15 percent, would prefer a boy, while 56 percent said gender is irrelevant. This placed Korea at the top in terms of daughter preference, ahead of Japan, Spain and the Philippines, which all tied at 26 percent.
barely: 간신히
irrelevant: 무관한
[3] Gender preference in Korea has completely reversed in just three decades. In the same survey in 1992, 58 percent of Koreans said they preferred a son, while only 10 percent wanted a daughter.
reverse: 뒤바꾸다
decade: 10년
[4] Local polls likewise show an increasing favor for daughters. A Korea Research survey released in June last year found that 62 percent of 1,000 adults nationwide agreed that “every family should have at least one daughter,” while only 36 percent expressed the same about sons.
likewise: 비슷하게
at least: 최소한

기사 요약: 가수의 꿈을 안고 케이팝 명가 SM엔터테인먼트에서 10년 넘게 연습생 생활을 했지만 데뷔에 실패한 케이팝 데몬 헌터스 수록곡 ‘골든’의 작곡가 이재는 이제 그래미상 수상이라는 새로운 꿈을 꾼다.
[1] For 33-year-old Korean American singer-songwriter Ejae, born Kim Eun-jae, the dream was to debut as a K-pop idol after spending 10 years training at SM Entertainment. But the call never came. Neither in a group nor as a soloist did the powerhouse label see her fit to debut.
-
singer-songwriter: 싱어송 라이터, 직접 노래를 쓰고 부르는 가수
-
neither A nor B: A도 B도 아닌
-
powerhouse: 막강한 집단이나 기관, 영향력자
[2] Instead of turning her back on music, Ejae found another path — one that would lead her to co-write "Golden," the soaring anthem from Netflix's megahit "KPop Demon Hunters," released in June.
-
turn back on: 등을 돌리다[외면하다]
-
path: 길, 방향
-
anthem: (국가·단체 등에 중요한 의미가 있는) 노래

megahit: 대형 히트
[3] Ejae's next goal is no longer about becoming a famous singer. It is about winning a Grammy — an achievement she says would carry a meaning far beyond her own career.
-
no longer: 더 이상 ~이 아닌
-
achievement: 업적; 성취
-
beyond: ~를 넘어서는
[4] "It wouldn't just be a personal milestone," she said. "It would be a message to every Asian American girl who's ever felt impostor syndrome in this industry," she said in an email interview with The Korea Herald.

[1] The transition of wartime operational control from the United States to South Korea has been designated as a key national security priority in the Lee Jae Myung administration's five-year governance plan, unveiled Wednesday.
-
transition: 전환
-
wartime operational control: 전시작전권
-
key: 핵심
-
priority: 우선 순위
[2] According to the State Affairs Planning Committee — a de facto transition team tasked with drafting the administration's long-term agenda — the government aims to establish and implement a roadmap for the OPCON transfer during Lee's term.
-
de-facto: 사실상의
-
agenda: 의제, 안건
-
aim: ~를 목표로 하다

-
call for something: ~을 필요로 하다
-
deterrence: 전쟁 억제(력)
-
proceed: 진행하다
-
close coordination: 긴밀한 협력
[4] South Korea has not held wartime operational control of its troops since the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, when the authority was delegated to the United Nations Command. It was later transferred to the South Korea-US Combined Forces Command, which remains under the leadership of a US four-star general.
-

An hour romance: How South Korean kids escape 'mosol' tag
기사 요약: '모솔(모태 솔로)'에 대한 부정적인 인식이 초등학생들에게까지 퍼지면서, 일부 어린이들 사이에서는 1교시만 사귀고 곧바로 헤어지는 식으로 이른바 '모솔 딱지'를 피하려는 현상까지 나타나고 있어
[1] South Korean singer Jang Yoon-jeong was taken aback when her children shared an unusual aspect of their peers’ dating culture: dating for just one period of the school day to avoid being labeled as “mosol."
be taken aback: 깜짝 놀라다, ~에 의해 허를 찔리다
be labeled as: ~으로 낙인찍히다, 분류되다
[2] These “1-period couples” start dating during recess and break up before the next class begins, Jang said in a recent TV appearance. Given that a single period in South Korean elementary schools is 40 minutes, these fleeting relationships last less than an hour.
fleeting: 순식간의, 잠깐 동안의
last: 지속되다
[3] Adults may wonder what these kids do during this time, whether such brief relationships can even be called "real," and why they engage in them at all. One of the primary motivators behind this dating trend is an eagerness to avoid the dreaded “mosol” label, a Korean slang term for someone who has never been in a relationship, which directly translates to “single since birth.”
dreaded: 두려운, 무서운
[4] To escape the label, some are engaging in brief, practically symbolic relationships, lasting as little as an hour, just to prove they have dated.
practically: 사실상, 거의

South Korea pulls plug on AI textbooks
기사 요약: 윤석열 정부가 야심차게 추진한 AI 디지털 교과서가 공식 교과서로서의 법적 지위를 상실하면서, 학교 현장과 출판업계에 혼란이 빚어지고 있다.
[1] South Korea’s National Assembly passed a bill on Monday stripping artificial intelligence-powered digital textbooks of their legal status as official teaching materials, dealing a heavy blow to the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration’s flagship education reform project.
pull the plug (on something): 플러그를 뽑다, 그만두다, 중단하다
strip: 박탈하다
blow: (손·무기 등으로) 세게 때림, 강타, 충격
[2] The amendment narrows the legal definition of textbooks to printed books and e-books, excluding “learning support software using intelligent information technology." This reclassifies AI-powered textbooks as just another type of educational material, not official textbooks.
narrow: 좁히다, 축소하다
reclassify: 재분류하다
[3] The amendment, drafted and passed unilaterally by the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, is an updated version of the same legislation passed by the Assembly last year, which was ultimately scrapped after it was vetoed by then-Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok, who was the country's acting president at the time.
unilaterally: 일방적으로, 단독적으로
scrap: 폐기하다
[4] Initially launched as a flagship initiative of the Yoon administration, AI textbooks aimed to provide personalized learning experiences for students using advanced AI algorithms. At least 533.3 billion won ($385 million) was allocated to the project last year alone.
personalize: 개인의 필요에 따라 맞추다

Is using a sun umbrella linked to racial bias?
기사요약: 최근 TikTok 영상에서 아시아에서의 양산 사용이 '백인 우월주의'와 연결된다는 주장에 논란이 일었지만, 전문가들은 양산이 자외선 차단, 피부 보호, 건강 관리에 중요한 역할을 한다고 강조했다.
[1] Parasols, or sun umbrellas, have long been a summer necessity in several Asian countries. It is easy to spot both men and women holding them over their heads in the streets of South Korea and Japan, to shield against the sunlight and strong UV rays.
necessity: 필수품
shield against: ~로 부터 막다, 보호하다
[2] However, a viral TikTok video claiming that the widespread use of such sunshades in Asia stems from underlying "white supremacy" has stirred controversy and sparked heated debates over whether the issue is about racism or health.
widespread: 널리 퍼진
underlying: 겉으로 드러나지 않지만 그 아래에 존재하는
stir: 감정이나 반응을 불러일으키다
[3] In the video, titled “Asians afraid of being dark," the TikToker questions why parasols are so popular in Asian countries. “Someone needs to explain to me why Asians are so afraid of the sun,” she said.
"I promise you it's not that bad if you go a little darker ... A few minutes in the sun won’t make your skin that dark.”
She then went on to imply that the fear of darker skin tones among Asians is linked to the bias of “white supremacy,” suggesting that such aversion stems from internalized ideals of lighter skin as superior.
bias: 편견, 특정한 사람이나 그룹에 대해 공정하지 않거나 부당한 생각을 가지는 것
white supremacy: 백인 우월주의
aversion: 아주 싫어함, 혐오
stem: 어떤 일이나 상황이 특정 원인에서 비롯되다
internalize: 내재화하다, 외부의 영향이나 사회적 규범을 개인의 사고나 행동으로 받아들이고 그것을 자신의 것으로 만들다

기사 요약: 청와대가 850만 명 이상의 방문객을 맞은 뒤, 대통령 집무실로 복귀하기 위해 일반 공개를 종료했다.
[1] Three years and two months since opening to the public as a cultural and historical site, Cheong Wa Dae, a symbol of state power and political history, closed Friday to prepare to return to its formal function as the presidential office and residence.
state power: 국가를 지배하고 관리하는 능력이나 권리
formal: 공식적인
[2] The transition will focus primarily on upgrading security systems and facilities. While the exact date of the presidential move-in has not been confirmed, the closure marks the beginning of Cheong Wa Dae’s restoration as the seat of executive power.
transition: 한 상태나 상황에서 다른 상태나 상황으로의 변화
closure: 어떤 기관이나 장소의 운영을 끝내는 것
restoration: 복구, 원상 회복
[3] Opened to the public in May 2022, Cheong Wa Dae attracted more than 8.52 million visitors until Thursday, according to the Cheong Wa Dae Foundation, a body established under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to manage public visits.
body: 특정한 목적을 가지고 조직된 단체나 기구
establish: 설립하다
[4] In particular, visitor numbers surged over the past two months since President Lee Jae Myung’s election amid growing expectations of the site’s closure. In the 40 days following the election, the number of visitors increased by more than 240 percent compared to the same period last year.
surge: 큰폭의 증가, 폭증
[5] Though full public access is no longer possible, Cheong Wa Dae Foundation has stated that once the transition is complete, some areas may reopen for limited public access.
public access: 일반 대중이 자유롭게 접근하거나 이용할 수 있는 권리나 기회

Why more Koreans are becoming side hustlers
기사 요약: 소득을 늘리거나 커리어를 바꾸기 위해 두 가지 이상 일을 병행하는 사람들이 점점 늘고 있다.
[1] Kim Sol-nim, 33, writes blogs for hospitals and law firms after returning home from her main job at around 6 p.m. She spends one to four hours daily on side work, earning between 600,000 won and 800,000 won ($430-$575) per month as extra income.
side work: 부업

[2] She used to run an Airbnb and gave weekend lectures related to her current job in insurance in the past. Now, she is preparing a pet furniture design business with friends.
insurance: 보험
furniture: 가구
[3] This does not mean that she plans to quit her main job anytime soon. Her main job provides health insurance, retirement benefits and job stability, which are benefits she is unsure her freelancing income can offer long-term.
anytime soon: (부정문·의문문에서) 곧
retirement: 은퇴
stability: 안정성
[4] She is one of many South Koreans who are taking on, or considering taking on, side hustles. For those interviewed by The Korea Herald, money was the top motivator, but workers also cited a desire to try new things and discover what they truly enjoy.

resident: 거주자
[3] Another 552,000 of the total foreign resident population were overseas Koreans holding F-4 visas, who established a place of residence and reported it to their local immigration office, entitling them to rights similar to those of Korean citizens, such as opening bank accounts and enrolling in the national health insurance program.
overseas: 해외의
entitle: 자격을 주다
enroll: 명부에 올리다, 등록하다
[4] The largest share of foreign residents was held by Chinese nationals with 972,176, accounting for 35.6 percent of the total. They were followed by Vietnamese (341,153), Americans (196,664), Thais (173,710) and Uzbeks (98,457).

Seoul's summer too hot to handle -- even for mosquitoes
기사 요약: 올여름 전국 대부분 지역에서 폭염이 이어지면서, 여름철 불청객인 모기가 눈에 띄게 줄어든 이유 중 하나는 모기가 32도 이상의 고온에 취약하기 때문이다. 다만 전문가들은 기온이 다소 내려가는 9월 초중순 무렵에는 모기 개체 수가 다시 늘어날 수 있다고 설명했다.
[1] The number of mosquitoes in Seoul has more than halved over the past decade, with experts pointing to extreme heat and a shortened monsoon season as key factors behind the sharp decline in mosquito activity.
* halve: 반으로 줄다
* decade: 10년
* monsoon: 우기
* decline: 감소
[2] Seoul has consistently reported record-high summer temperatures in recent years, with each year surpassing temperature records set in the previous year.
* consistently: 한결같이
* record-high: 기록적인
* surpass: 뛰어넘다
* previous: 이전의
[3] "The lack of steady rainfall limits the formation of puddles, which are breeding grounds for mosquitoes," said Park. "And even when it does rain, Korea also often sees sudden, intense downpours, which wash away mosquito eggs and larvae before they have a chance to hatch and develop."
* lack of: ~의 부족
* formation: 형성
* intense: 강렬한
* wash away: 을 유실되게 하다[쓸어 가다]
[4] "A decline in mosquito numbers may be observed in the summer due to high temperatures," Park explained. "However, as temperatures get relatively cooler, mosquito populations may rise from beginning to mid-September, with some continuing to be active into early winter."
* relatively: 비교적
* population: 인구, (동물의) 개체수
* active: 활동적인

* creative team: 창작팀
* record-breaking: 기록을 깨는
* pull back the curtain: 감춰져 있거나 알지 못하는 정보를 공개하다
* spectacle: 장관, 구경거리
[2] "I've always wanted to make an animated movie set in Korea that really showcased our culture and our mythology," said Kang, noting how demons provided the visual spectacle while K-pop became "the last ingredient in the concept." When Appelhans first heard the pitch, his reaction was instant: "Please let me make this movie with you because I love all those things."
* showcase: 보여주다
* mythology: 신화
* ingredient: 구성 요소; 재료
* instant: 즉각적인
[3] Hong described her character Mira as "a skeptic, rebellious, sarcastic," while Yoo highlighted "maknae" — the youngest member of the group — Zoey's "professional obligation to be the cutest and the most energetic."
* skeptic: 의심 많은 사람
* rebellious: 반항적인
* sarcastic: 빈정대는
* obligation: 의무
[4] The film's attention to cultural detail shines through its depiction of bustling Seoul's Gangnam streets, authentic Korean comfort food and traditional mythology woven throughout the narrative.

* bustling: 북적거리는
* authentic: 진품인
* narrative: (특히 소설 속 사건들에 대한) 기술, 묘사

Will Kumgangsan UNESCO listing open path for inter-Korean cooperation?
기사 요약: 북한의 금강산이 유네스코 세계유산으로 등재되면서, 남북한 간 불교 문화유산 보존을 위한 협력 가능성에 대한 기대가 커지고 있다.
[1] Hopes for renewed inter-Korean cooperation grew Monday after North Korea's Kumgangsan was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Paris on Sunday.
renew: 새롭게 하다
cooperation: 협력
[2] This marks the North's third entry on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, following Historic Monuments and Sites in Kaesong in 2013 and the Complex of Koguryo Tombs inscribed in 2004.
inscribed: 등재된
[3] In 2021, North Korea submitted its application to have Kumgangsan recognized by UNESCO as a mixed heritage site, reflecting the rich Buddhist mountain traditions and long-standing practice of mountain worship and pilgrimage spanning centuries. However, the site's review was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The evaluation resumed this year.
heritage: 유산
reflect: 반영하다
[4] Located in a granite mountain range whose peaks range from over 1,600 meters above sea level down to the sea, the scenic Kumgangsan, officially listed as "Mount Kumgang ― Diamond Mountain from the Sea," is known for its striking white granite peaks, deep valleys, waterfalls and pristine ecosystem.

Why are Labubu monsters taking over the world?
기사 요약: 괴짜 같은 외모의 피규어 라부부가 젠지 세대의 개성과 불완전함을 상징하며 패션계의 새로운 아이콘으로 떠오르고 있다.
[1] In an industry that thrives on constant reinvention, a mischievous, elvish toy called Labubu is quickly becoming fashion’s most unexpected new star.
thrive: 번창하다
mischievous: 장난기 있는
elvish: 요정 같은, 신비롭고 장난기 있는
[2] With its jagged teeth, wild hair and wide-eyed grin, Labubu has leapt from collectible curiosity to cultural symbol. Originally designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubu was introduced through the Pop Mart x How2work series, initially appealing to a niche group of toy collectors.
jagged: 들쭉날쭉한
appeal: 매력을 끌다
[3] But Labubu's popularity has surged well beyond that audience, especially among Generation Z consumers drawn to its offbeat, anti-cute aesthetic.
offbeat: 색다른, 일반적이지 않은, 독특한
aesthetic: 미적 감각
[4] Unlike the smooth, symmetrical mascots that once dominated toy shelves, Labubu’s oddball charm resonates with young people who reject conventional standards of beauty. The imperfections — sharp teeth, awkward grin, untamed hair — have become a statement of identity in an age where uniqueness is increasingly celebrated.
symmetrical: 대칭적인
oddball: 괴짜
conventional: 일반적인

What you need to know about the Saja Boys, Korea’s grim reapers in K-pop form
기사 요약: 전세계를 강타한 ‘케이팝 데몬 헌터스’의 주인공 보이그룹 사자보이즈가 지닌 한국적 전통 문화와 설화적 요소
[1] When the Saja Boys appeared on screen for the first time, dressed in floor-length black hanbok and wide-brimmed hats casting shadows over pale, painted faces, Kang Chan-mi, a 32-year-old office worker in Seoul, immediately recognized the look.
*brimmed: 가득 찬, 테두리가 있는 (brim: 모자의 챙)
[2] The Saja Boys, a fictional K-pop group from the new Netflix animated film “K-pop Demon Hunters,” may appear to be just another stylish boy band debuting for a global audience.
*fictional: 허구의
[3] However, for many Korean viewers, their stagewear evokes something much older and far more haunting: the "jeoseung saja," or the traditional Korean Grim Reaper.
*evoke: 떠올려 주다
*haunting: 잊혀지지 않는
*grim reaper: 사신
[4] The image is deeply familiar to Koreans. A pale-faced man, draped in black robes and wearing a gat, a traditional Korean hat made of horsehair and silk, has long signaled death in Korean storytelling.
*draped: 걸친

[3] "The purpose of the ‘consumption coupons’ is to stimulate sluggish spending, revitalize the local economy, and support Korean incomes. Therefore, in principle, foreigners are excluded,” Vice Interior Minister Kim Min-jae said at a briefing on Saturday.
*stimulate: 활발하게 하다
*sluggish: 부진한
*in principle: 원칙적으로
[4] Foreign nationals may qualify if they are listed on the same household registration as at least one Korean and are enrolled in the national health insurance system, either as a subscriber or dependent, or if they receive medical aid.

기사 요약: 그 어느 때보다 빨리 노후 대비를 시작하고 있는 대한민국 청년들, 지금 월급으로는 평생 모아도 집을 못 산다는 두려움에 그들이 선택한 재테크 전략은?
[1] Twenty-eight-year-old Kim goes on a five-hour trip to Ulsan, or any other region, as soon as she gets off work on a weekday. Not for sightseeing or to visit friends, but for property viewing. "I get off work at 6 p.m. then head to Seoul Station to go for 'imjang' — a Korean term for site visit or field research on real estate properties — in different regions," she told The Korea Herald.
property viewing: 집 보기, 임장
real estate property: 부동산
[2] Over the past two years, Kim has spent 10 million won (about $7,400) on investment courses. What she learned was simple, if sobering: With her current income, saving will never buy her a home. Investing is her only option.
sobering: 번쩍 정신이 들게 하는, 심각[진지]하게 만드는
investment know-how: 재테크
[3] Among her preferred strategies is a method known as “gap investment,” which leverages Korea's unique "jeonse" lease system. Under a jeonse lease, tenants pay a lump-sum deposit, often 60 to 80 percent of the home’s value, instead of monthly rent. Landlords hold the deposit during the lease, usually to earn interest from a bank, and return it in full at the end of the contract.
leverage: ~을 유리하게 사용하다, ~을 담보로 하다
lump sum: 일시불, 일시불로 지불하는 금액
deposit: 보증금
[4] Through this approach, Kim now owns two apartments in Ulsan worth 600 million won, having put up only 100 million won of her own money. To acquire what she has now, Kim has spent every weekend walking over 20 kilometers each day to study neighborhoods — their environments, schools, and proximity to public transportation and other facilities — all the elements that factor into buying a house.
acquire: 습득하다, 획득하다
element: 요소

Busan Concert Hall opens with finest talent, advanced infrastructure
기사 요약: 이탈리아 라 스칼라 극장의 동양인 최초 예술감독인 지휘자 정명훈이 부산콘서트홀 개막 공연의 지휘를 맡아 관객들을 매료시켰다.
[1] After Maestro Chung Myung-whun concluded Sunday evening’s concert at the new Busan Concert Hall, he traced a circle in the air with his finger before gently tapping his heart — a gesture that seemed to acknowledge not only the musicians on stage but also the audience, who responded with a standing ovation.
*trace 추적하다, 흔적을 만들다
*ovation (열렬한) 박수
[2] It was a moment of gratitude and recognition, shared by all present at a historic milestone in Busan’s classical music journey. The city’s long-awaited concert hall finally opened its doors last weekend.
*recognition (공로 등에 대한) 인정, 표창
*milestone 이정표, 중요한[획기적인] 단계
*long-awaited 사람들이 오래 기다리던
[3] Chung, who serves as the artistic director of Classic Busan, a municipal office of Busan Metropolitan City responsible for operating the Busan Concert Hall and the Busan Opera House, which is set to debut in 2027, took the podium three times over the weekend.
*municipal 도시의, 자치 도시의, 시정의
*take the podium 강단에 서다
[4] Friday’s performance was an invitation-only concert, attended by government officials and various dignitaries, many of whom were not seasoned classical music listeners, as evidenced by applause between movements.
*seasoned 경험 많은, 노련한
*evidenced by ...에 의해서 증명되어 있다.

Korean student posts her dramatic escape from Israel
기사 요약: 이스라엘 히브리대 재학 중인 한국인 유학생이 자신의 유튜브 채널에 ‘이스라엘 피난 브이로그’ 영상을 올려 화제를 모았다.
A South Korean college student's video blog about her escape from Israel is garnering nationwide interest here, as it detailed how she barely managed to leave the conflict-ridden country.
*garner (정보·지지 등을) 얻다[모으다]
*barely 간신히, 가까스로, 빠듯하게
*conflict-ridden 갈등에 시달리는
The female student in her 20s was first notified of the situation via a siren that blared at 3 a.m. on June 13, prompting an evacuation to a nearby shelter.
*blare (소리를) 요란하게[쾅쾅] 울리다
*prompt 즉각적인, 지체 없는/ (질문·힌트 등을 주어 말을 하도록) 유도하다
"I initially thought the situation would resolve soon, but I heard the sirens again the next day," she said in the video, showing flying missiles that she witnessed from the window of her college dormitory.
*resolve (문제 등을) 해결하다
*witness (사건·사고를) 목격하다
She was initially scheduled to leave Tel Aviv on June 16 on a plane headed to Paris, which she booked four months ago, but she found that the flight was cancelled. With over 100 missile alarms sent by the authorities piling up on her phone, she searched for a ticket on a flight out of Israel, only to find that the price had skyrocketed to at least 2.37 million won ($1,734) from the previous 816,785 won.
*pile up (양이) 많아지다[쌓이다]
*skyrocket 급등하다

'Squid Game' back in Season 3, more intense than ever, to settle final score
기사 요약: 넷플릭스 최고 흥행 TV 시리즈로 꼽히는 "오징어 게임"이 올 여름 긴 이야기에 마침표를 찍는다.
[1] As anticipation builds, series director Hwang Dong-hyuk and key cast members opened up about what fans can expect — and how they're addressing both the shortcomings of Season 2 and the headline-making spoiler leaks that surfaced ahead of the new season.
* anticipation: 기대
* open up: 마음을 터놓다
* shortcoming: 단점
* ahead of: ~에 앞서
[2] Season 3 picks up in the aftermath of Season 2's events, following Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he grapples with his failed attempt at rebellion. Meanwhile, Frontman (Lee Byung-hun), who infiltrated the games in Season 2 as a participant, returns to his role as the unfeeling, calculating mastermind behind the deadly competition, setting the stage for his face-off with Gi-hun.
* pick up: 다시 시작하다
* aftermath: 여파
* grapple with: ~를 해결하려고 노력하다
* face-off: 대결
[3] "Gi-hun falls into a state of deep helplessness after witnessing his closest friend being killed by the Frontman. But he regains his resolve, returning to his original intention to dismantle the entire system while still holding onto his belief in humanity. With this determination, he starts planning again. Seeing Gi-hun's renewed resolve, the Frontman also begins devising new plans," Lee said.
* helplessness: 난간함
* resolve: 결심
* dismantle: 해체하다
* devise: (방법을) 궁리하다
[4] "If we consider Seasons 2 and 3 as telling one continuous story, Season 3 will deliver the climax and conclusion, the final act of the narrative. From a dramatic standpoint, it will inevitably feel very intense. In a sense, this will be the story where the full-fledged confrontation between the Frontman and Gi-hun truly unfolds," he added.
* climax: 절정
* narrative: 서사
* standpoint: 관점
* full-fledged: 본격적인

Road to Yeoncheon lined with love as BTS’ Jimin, Jungkook are discharged
기사 요약: 그룹 방탄소년단(BTS)의 지민( 정국(전정국)이 1년 6개월간의 군 복무를 마치고 육군 병장으로 만기 전역했다.
[1] Just a day after RM and V were discharged from the military, fellow BTS members Jimin and Jungkook stood before a crowd of some 500 fans Wednesday morning at Yeoncheon Public Stadium in Gyeonggi Province, marking the end of their 18-month mandatory military service.
* discharged: 해제된
* fellow: 동료의
* stand before: ~앞에 서다
* crowd: 사람들, 무리
[2] Wearing their uniforms, the two arrived in a black vehicle and stepped out to a roaring welcome from local and international fans. They saluted and shouted “Unity!” before offering brief words of thanks, both appearing bashful as they reconnected with their supporters after a long absence.
* uniform: 군복
* roaring: 아우성치는 듯한
* salute: 경례를 하다
* reconnect: 다시 연결되다
[3] Jungkook, smiling shyly, said, “It’s been a while since I’ve stood in front of cameras. I didn’t even put on makeup today, so I feel a bit awkward and don’t really know what to say.” He added, “To my fellow soldiers and seniors who finished their service earlier — thank you for enduring everything together with us.”
* stand in front of: ~의 앞에 서다
* awkward: 뻘쭘하다
* endure: 참아내다
[4] Despite the early hour, fans from around the world filled the area near the event site, waving banners and fan sticks in support of the two stars. Some even climbed to the low rooftop of the stadium next to the open ground where the two K-pop stars appeared, trying to get a better view of the pair.
* despite: ~에도 불구하고
* banner: 현수막
* in support of: ~을 지지하여
* pair: (둘씩) 짝을 짓다

How much is enough to raise a child in South Korea?
기사요약: 한국의 저출산 현상 뒤에는 자녀 양육에 드는 높은 비용이라는 현실적인 고민이 자리하고 있다.
[1] South Korea’s dwindling birth rate has become something of a global curiosity and a national crisis, making frequent headlines. Yet behind the statistics lies a quieter, more personal calculus — one that plays out in the homes of young adults weighing whether to have a child.
dwindle: 줄어들다, 감소하다
calculus: 계산, 판단 기준
[2] More often than not, the key factor is cost. So how much do young parents — or would-be parents — believe it takes to raise a child in South Korea today? And what feels realistic, or essential?
factor: 요소, 요인
essential: 필수적인, 꼭 필요한
[3] Lee Eun-ji, a mother in Seoul raising a 3-year-old girl, said the ideal amount to spend on raising a child would be one parent’s salary. For her, that’s about 4 million won a month. “Every meaningful childhood experience comes with a cost,” she said.
ideal: 이상적인, 가장 바람직한
childhood: 어린 시절, 유년기
[4] She recalled feeling guilty when she learned that other parents were able to enroll their children in Montessori programs, which focus on self-directed learning and hands-on activities.
“I wanted that kind of exposure for my child, but it costs 500,000 won for just 12 classes. It was too much,” she said.
recall: 기억하다, 떠올리다
enroll: 등록하다, 입학하다
exposure: 접함, 노출, 경험

Bukchon emerges as new shopping hot spot in Seoul for global tourists
기사요약: 북촌은 전통문화와 현대 쇼핑이 어우러진 공간으로 변모하며 글로벌 관광객을 끌어들이는 서울의 새로운 쇼핑 명소로 부상하고 있다.
[1] Nestled between the historical grandeur of the main palace Gyeongbokgung and the winding alleys of traditional hanok, Bukchon is being transformed from a heritage enclave into one of Seoul’s most dynamic shopping destinations, particularly for international travelers.
grandeur: 장엄함, 위풍당당함
enclave: 소속된 지역, 집단
[2] Once known primarily for its well-preserved architecture and cultural significance, Bukchon is now a growing hub for fashion, beauty and fragrance brands. With an influx of flagship stores, limited-edition product launches and experiential spaces, the neighborhood is drawing attention from both domestic trendsetters and foreign visitors.
well-preserved: 잘 보존된
influx: 유입, 밀어닥침
[3] That growth is backed by hard data. According to the city of Seoul’s real-time statistics, monthly credit card spending in Bukchon Hanok Village rose from 1.9 billion won ($1.38 million) in January to over 2.57 billion won last month. Projections suggest spending may exceed 3 billion won by the end of this month.
hard data: 객관적이고 구체적인 수치 자료
projection: 예상, 추정
[4] Recognizing its potential, both global and local brands are establishing a presence in the neighborhood. Tamburins, a K-beauty fragrance label known for its minimalist design and immersive retail experience, opened its Bukchon flagship store in 2023.
presence: 존재, 입지, 출현
immersive: 몰입감 있는, 몰입형의

The best (lesser-known) things about Seoul for solo residents
기사 요약: 서울의 '혼족러'들이 서울을 오롯이 혼자서 즐기고 있는 방법들은?
[1] I love to sing, but as a kid, belting out tunes on a karaoke machine usually meant rallying at least one friend to go to the local noraebang (singing room). For a boy who was a bit of a loner, this could be challenging.
belt out: 힘차게 노래부르다
loner: 주로 혼자 지내거나 이를 선호하는 사람
[2] Then came the 2010s — and with them, a delightful invention: the coin noraebang (pay-per-song karaoke). A sanctuary for solo singers, it offered sweet salvation to those who want to sing their hearts out without the judgmental stares of others.
sanctuary: 피난처, 안식처
salvation: 구원, 구조 (- army 구세군)
sing one's heart out: 가슴이 터지도록 크게 부르다
stare: 빤히 쳐다보다
[3] Coin noraebang is just one of many urban pleasures catering to Seoul’s growing population of solo dwellers. From one-person barbecue joints to bars and restaurants designed for a party of one, these spaces embrace those who choose to stay in their cocoon of voluntary solitude.
cater to: ~을 충족시키다
cocoon: 보호막, 고치
solitude: 고독
[4] And so, Seoul has become a haven for the "honjok," or people like me who choose to do things by themselves. Honjok is a portmanteau of “hon” from the Korean word “honja,” meaning alone, and “jok,” meaning tribe.
haven: 안식처, 피난처,
portmanteau: 혼성어

Clock is ticking, but demographic crisis gets drowned out in presidential race
기사 요약: 이른 대선을 앞두고 대통령 후보들이 여러 공약을 선보였던 가운데, 저출산과 초고령 사회로의 진입 등 한국의 심각한 인구 위기에 대한 공약이 부족하다는 의견 많아
[1] The compounding challenges of South Korea’s low birth rate and the onset of a super-aged society have drawn little focus on the presidential campaign trail for the June 3 presidential election. The numbers alone underscore the urgency of strategically and systemically confronting the demographic crisis.
compounding: 복합적인
onset: 시작
[2] South Korea’s fertility rate was recorded at 0.75 in 2024, meaning the average South Korean woman is expected to have fewer than one child in her lifetime. Still, the country found a sliver of relief in the data, as 2024 marked the first time in nine years that the birth rate had not declined.
sliver: 조각
[3] At the same time, however, the nation officially transitioned into a “super-aged society” in December 2024 — a milestone that arrived earlier than expected.
Observers called for a more holistic approach to devising campaign promises that tackle these demographic challenges, saying the next five years would be crucial to determining the country's fate. They warned that South Korea might otherwise be plagued by a range of social problems: the demise of remote rural areas, a workforce shortage, weaker military strength and a pension fund crisis, among other things.
milestone: 중요한 단계
holistic: 전체적인
plague: 괴롭히다, 성가시게 하다 /전염병
demise: 종말, 죽음

Are you red, blue or orange? How color is defining politics this election season진행자: 김혜연, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 6월 대선을 앞두고 색깔로 갈리는 유권자들의 정치적 선택
[1] In South Korea’s rushed presidential election, color is doing a lot of the talking.
rushed 서두른, 성급히 한, 빠른
do the talking (대표자로서) 말하다, 대변하다
[2] With policy plans still vague and party alliances in flux, the candidates have leaned heavily on clothing and color to communicate who they are. Mixing red, blue and white has become shorthand for everything from unity to rebranding.
in flux 변하는, 유동적인
shorthand 약칭
unity 단합, 통합
[3] Today, the political symbolism of the liberal blue and the conservative red is so strong that public figures often steer clear of either color — especially during the election period — to prevent misinterpretations of their political stance.
symbolism 해석, 상징
steer clear of …에 가까이 가지 않다, …을 비키다
[4] However, this stark chromatic divide is a relatively recent development. Historically, South Korean political parties have used colors not as fixed ideological markers, but as tools of reinvention — especially during moments of change and crisis.
chromatic 색채
reinvent 다른 모습[이미지]을 보여주다

Sneakers edge out high heels
진행자: 김혜연, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 직장 내 엄격했던 복장 규정이 완화되면서, 구두 대신 운동화로 개성을 드러내는 세대가 늘고 있다.
[1] In 2025, sneakers aren’t just a staple — they’re the main event. From minimalist streetwear to quiet luxury and even formalwear, they’ve become the unshakable foundation of fashion identity. Once ruled by dress shoes, Korea's style landscape is shifting toward comfort and versatility.
unshakable 흔들리지 않는, 확고부동한
ruled by 지배를 당하다
versatility 다양성
[2] No longer bound by the old adage that “beauty comes at a price" — often pain — today’s trendsetters are redefining elegance on their own terms. The towering high heels once endorsed by fashion legends have been dethroned in favor of flat, colorful sneakers that match feminine dresses or sharply tailored jackets.
bound by 얽매여 있는
endorse 지지하다
dethrone 권좌에서 몰아내다, 쫓아내다
[3] This change is perhaps most visible in the workplace. Dress shoes — long considered essential for professionals — are being phased out, replaced by sneakers as the new go-to item for the daily commute. Corporate dress codes have loosened in recent years, and sneakers now dominate the emerging aesthetic of the modern office look.
phase out 단계적으로 폐지[삭감, 철거]하다.
commute 통근하다
[4] Today’s trend isn’t just about wearing sneakers — it’s about styling them with intentional contrast. Pairing couture jackets with leggings, or structured coats with sweatshirts, people are boldly combining polished elements with athletic ones.
couture 재봉(술) (고급 맞춤형, 디자이너)
structured 잘 짜여진, 구조가 있는
polished 세련된[우아한]

Buffets are back: Diners seek bang for their buck amid inflation
기사 요약: 고물가 시대에 손님 몰리는 뷔페
[1] Emerging in Korea around 2000, buffet-style restaurant chains flourished throughout the 2010s, offering a wide variety of dishes at more accessible prices than luxury hotel buffets.
emerging: 최근 생겨난
flourish: 번창하다
[2] The period of growth ended with a sharp decline in the early 2020s. But now, buffet chains are making a comeback.
make a comeback: 다시 인기를 얻다
[3] According to Statistics Korea, dining-out costs in the country have risen by more than 3 percent annually for three consecutive years, increasing by 7.7 percent in 2022, 6 percent in 2023 and 3.1 percent in 2024.
dining-out: 외식
[4] Experts note that the ongoing economic situation could make consumers more cautious about dining out, as they increasingly fear disappointment. In this context, buffet franchises offering a wide range of familiar foods are seen as a safer, more reliable choice.
ongoing: 계속 진행 중인
reliable: 믿을 수 있는

Why Google Maps is still broken in South Korea: It might not be about national security anymore
기사 요약: 국내 지도 정보를 쉽게 내어줄 수 없는 한국 정부와 업계의 입장과 복잡하게 맞물린 구글의 이해 관계
[1] It’s 2025, and if you try to get walking directions in Seoul using Google Maps, you will still run into the same dead end: the "Can't find a way there" screen.
dead end: 막다른 길
[2] For many tourists, it’s both frustrating and baffling. Google Maps offers turn-by-turn walking directions in cities as far-flung as Pyongyang, the capital of the hermit kingdom of North Korea — yet, in Seoul, one of the most digitally advanced cities in the world, it can’t guide you from your hotel to the nearest subway station?
baffling: 당황스러운
far-flung: 오지의
hermit: 은둔자
[3] For almost two decades, the issue has been blamed on national security. South Korea has strict laws that block the export of high-precision map data, supposedly to prevent misuse by hostile actors.
precision: 정확함
hostile: 적대적인
[4] But in 2025, that argument is wearing thin, and a more fundamental tension is coming into focus: Should Google be allowed to freely commercialize taxpayer-funded public data without meeting the standards that domestic companies must follow?
wear thin: 약해지다
commercialize: 상업화하다

Why S. Korean mothers are opting for C-sections at record rates
기사 요약: 진통에 대한 두려움 등의 이유로 제왕절개 분만을 선호하는 산모들이 많아지고 있다.
[1] When 33-year-old Lee, who is due to give birth in four weeks, made her birth plan, she had no medical complications, no known risks and no family history of difficult pregnancies. But she had already decided: her first child would be delivered by cesarean section.
* due: ~하기로 되어 있는; 예정된
* complication: 합병증
* family history: 가족력
* cesarean section: 제왕절개
[2] Behind this rapid shift lies a combination of social, medical and legal forces — from mothers’ desire to avoid labor pain to fears among doctors of legal liability.
* rapid: 빠른
* shift: (위치·입장·방향의) 변화
* avoid: 피하다
* liability: 법적 책임
[3] In online communities, especially those known as mom cafes, stories of childbirth are frequently shared. These posts often emphasize the trauma of labor pains and the relative comfort of planned C-sections, helping to shape public perception of cesarean delivery as a more controllable and less stressful choice.
* frequently: 자주
* emphasize: 강조하다
* planned: 계획된
* shape: (중요한 영향을 미쳐서) 형성하다
[4] "Definitely, C-section," a comment read a post asking what to choose between C-section and natural birth in an online forum for mothers. "There are higher chances to 'fail' with natural birth. Rather than suffering all that pain and then going for a C-section, it's better to go for the 'safe choice.'"
* natural birth: 자연분만
* suffer: 고통받다
* pain: 아픔, 통증, 고통
* go for: ~를 고르다, 선택하다, 시도하다

South Koreans get creative with Parents' Day gifts
기사 요약: 전통적인 카네이션과 손 편지에서 건강식품, 현금 등으로 어버이날 선물 아이템이 다양하게 변화하고 있다.
[1] May is known as “Family Month” in South Korea, as it has several days to celebrate and show love for those held closest to people's hearts. One such commemorative day is Parents’ Day on May 8. A time-honored tradition in South Korea has children give carnations to their parents to express gratitude for their love and care.
* celebrate: 기념하다
* commemorative: (중요 인물, 사건을) 기념하는
* time-honored: 오랜 시간 동안 이어져 온, 전통적인
* gratitude: 고마움
[2] However, some Koreans have recently shown a shift in preferences for Parents' Day, as they search for gifts that are more meaningful and worthwhile. Kwon Young-june, a 53-year-old office worker, is one person who a few years ago made the switch from giving carnations.
* shift: 변화
* preference: 선호(도)
* search: 살펴보다
* worthwhile: ~할 가치가 있는
[3] Adding that his parents also seemed to enjoy his change in gifts, Kwon added that he plans to do the same this year by treating them to a nice family meal and a short weekend trip to the outskirts of Seoul.
* enjoy: 즐기다
* change: 변화
* outskirts: 변두리
[4] “In Korean culture, there’s a deep-rooted expectation for children to support their parents financially, especially in old age. In this sense, giving cash is seen not just as a gift but as a form of ongoing responsibility and respect,” sociology professor Koo Jeong-woo from Sungkyunkwan University told The Korea Herald.
* deep-rooted: 뿌리 깊은
* expectation: 기대
* old age: 노년
* responsibility: 책임

K-pop timing secrets: 1 p.m. or 6 p.m.?
진행자: 홍유, Elise Youn
기사요약: 케이팝 앨범 발매 시간은 주로 목표 시장에 맞춰 설정되며, 미국을 타겟으로 할 경우 오후 1시(KST)에, 국내 시장을 겨냥할 경우 오후 6시(KST)에 발매되는 경향이 있다.
[1] A clear pattern has emerged in thealbum release times of K-pop stars. Why are some albums released at 1 p.m.while others drop at 6 p.m.? The answer lies in the target markets and chartsthe artists are taking aim at.
emerge: 나타나다, 드러나다
take aim at: 목표를 두다,겨냥하다
[2] “Though itvaries by artist, release times are usually tailored to the target region. Forinstance, if the US and global music markets are the focus, the release is setto coincide with midnight in that region,” said an official from one of themajor K-pop agencies. “During daylight saving time in the US, this translatesto 1 p.m. KST. Otherwise, it’s 2 p.m. KST,” the official added.
vary: 차이가 있다
coincide: 동시에 일어나다,일치하다
[3] Currently with daylight saving time ineffect, 1 p.m. in Korea on a Friday is midnight on the East Coast in the US,which is 13 hours behind. Since Billboard charts are based on eastern time andtrack data from Friday to the following Thursday, releasing music at Friday 1p.m. in Korea is a strategic move for artists targeting Billboard charts andthe global market. Major pop stars like Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus and Drake alsofrequently release new music on Fridays. On the other hand, for groups morefocused on domestic streaming platforms and the local K-pop scene, six is thekey number.
strategic: 전략적인
frequently: 자주, 빈번하게
[4] “Definitelymany more users access music platforms after 6 p.m., so it has become a generalrule to release music then rather than during weekday daytime hours, whenpeople are at work or school,” said an official from JYP Entertainment.

[1] When a 23-year-old man surnamed Choientered an "education university" to receive teacher training inSouth Korea three years ago, he believed he was stepping into a highly-covetedprofession. Like many before him, he saw teaching as a stable, meaningful job.
highly-coveted: 많은 사람들이 원하거나 탐내는, 매우 인기 있는
stable: 변동이 적고 일정한,안정적인
[2] But today, as he finds that teachersare no longer respected as educators or moral guides, Choi is reconsideringeverything. Overwhelmed by the declining authority of teachers in schools andconcerned about the profession's long-term prospects, he has taken a leave ofabsence and is preparing to take the national college entrance exam again —this time to pursue a degree in pharmacy.
reconsider: 다시 생각하다,재검토하다
prospect: 전망, 가능성, 장래성
leave of absence: 휴직, 일정 기간 동안 직무를 떠나는 것
[3] “Teachers canno longer teach in the way they used to,” Choi said. “They are constantlychallenged, monitored, and disrespected. Classrooms have become increasinglydifficult environments to manage. Teachers face verbal and even legalconfrontations from students and parents."
verbal: 말로 된, 구두의
confrontation: 대립, 충돌, 정면으로 맞서는 상황
[4] Choi’s doubts echo those of many youngKoreans. Once considered a prestigious calling, the teaching profession inSouth Korea is losing both its appeal and its authority.

impersonation: 흉내
[3] “The broadcaster approached us first,” said an official from Han’s campaign. “With the election coming up, they clearly saw ratings potential. Han also saw it as a good opportunity for exposure.

진행자: 김혜연, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: 의약품 관세에 대해서 관세 부과를 확정짓지 않은 트럼프, 곧 발표 예고에 예의주시 중인 한국 제약 바이오 업계
[1] US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his administration will soon impose tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals, which had previously been exempt from major "reciprocal" tariff measures, raising alarm across Korea’s pharmaceuticals and biotech industries.
*exempt 면제하다[받다]
*raise alarm 경보를 울리다, 비상 사태가 되다
[2] According to multiple foreign news outlets, Trump made the statement during a dinner hosted by the National Republican Congressional Committee in Washington. There, he suggested that pharmaceuticals companies would likely "relocate operations" to the US, given the size and importance of the American market.
*statement 성명, 진술, 서술
*relocate 이전[이동]하다
[3] The US is Korea’s largest export destination for pharmaceutical products, making the industry particularly sensitive to such policy changes. Data from the Korea Customs Service shows that Korean pharmaceutical exports to the US reached $1.51 billion last year, a 50 percent increase from $1 billion the year before. The US accounted for 18 percent of Korea’s total pharmaceutical exports during this period.
*account for 설명하다, 처리하다
[4] Industry experts believe any new pharmaceutical tariffs are likely to be phased in gradually rather than implemented abruptly. “While being a massive market, the US is also heavily reliant on foreign pharmaceuticals, which limits its ability to impose aggressive tariffs overnight,” a senior official in Korea's biopharmaceuticals industry said.
*phased (일의 진행을) 단계적으로 하다
*abruptly 갑자기, 불쑥, 뜻밖에

"Since the second half of 2024, we have been actively launching not only Condition's bottled drink, but also jelly-type stick products.

South Korea's birth rate rises for first time in 9 years
진행자: 박준희, Elise Youn
기사 요약: 지난해 한국의 출생아 수가 23만 8천여 명으로, 1년 만에 약 8천 명 증가했다. 출생아 수가 증가한 것은 2015년 이후 9년 만이다.
[1] South Korea's fertility rate rose by 0.03 in 2024, breaking a nine-year downtrend, according to Statistics Korea on Wednesday. This came as the country has been suffering from a demographic crisis — a double whammy of a low birth rate and and increase in the elderly population — for nearly a decade.
*downtrend: 하강 추세
*demographic crisis: 인구 위기
*double whammy: 이중고
[2] Statistics Korea attributes the improvement to the increase in the number of women in the childbearing age of early 30s, pent-up wedding demand following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and slight increases in the percent of Koreans who think positively about marriage and childbirth.
*attribute: (~을 …의) 결과로 보다
*childbearing: 출산, 분만
*pent-up: 억눌린
[3] Despite the rebound, South Korea's birth rate will likely remain at the lowest level among 38 member nations of the Organization for the Economic Development and Cooperation, as 2022 estimates indicated South Korea was the only member country with a fertility rate lower than 1.
*rebound: 반등
*remain: 남다
[4] The number of newborns here also reached 238,343 in 2024, up 3.6 percent from the previous year. The figure saw the first uptick in nine years, as the number of newborns in 2015 rose 0.7 percent to 438,420 and had since gradually declined until 2023.
*previous: 이전의
*uptick: 상승
*gradually: 서서히

Are you living like 'a hothouse flower'? Viral checklist sparks buzz in South Korea
진행자: 박준희, Elise Youn
기사 요약: 최근 온라인 커뮤니티에서 화제가 된 "온실 속 화초 테스트." 이 테스트에 따르면 "살면서 알바를 해본 적이 없다," "의식주 걱정을 해본 적이 없다" 등의 항목 중 절반 이상에 해당하면 자신이 온실 속 화초일 가능성이 높다는 데...
[1] The term “hothouse flower” metaphorically describes individuals who have led sheltered lives, shielded from the harsh realities of the world. The online post that Jin received featured a checklist of eight traits that, according to the author, define a sheltered individual, meaning a person shielded from financial, emotional or social struggles.
*metaphorically: 비유적으로
*sheltered: 근심 걱정이 없는; 보호를 받는
*harsh: 혹독한
*trait: 특성
[2] It included characteristics such as having never had a part-time job, having only had ambiguous concerns in life -- such as school grades, future career and dating life, being born and raised in Seoul and attending private schools.
*characteristics: 특징들
*ambiguous: 애매한; 불분명한
*concern: 걱정; 염려
[3] When asked why the hothouse flower checklist went viral, sociology professor Choi Hang-sub from Kookmin University told The Korea Herald that it is interconnected with how the spoon theory went viral in 2015, based on the idea that “being born into a family that is well-off gives you automatic advantages, while being born poor or less well-off holds you back.”
*go viral: 입소문이 나다
*interconnected: 서로 연결된
*well-off: 유복한
*hold (somebody/something) back: ~을 저지하다; (진전, 발전을) 방해하다
[4] “The checklist can be considered to be ‘for fun’ and is lightheartedly used by some people to joke about being an ‘overprotected hothouse flower.’”
*considered: 여겨지는
*lightheartedly: 가볍게

Bong Joon-ho still keen on human stories
진행자: 홍유, Elise Youn
기사 요약: 봉준호 감독은 6년 만에 선보인 신작 "미키17 (Mickey 17)"에 대해, SF 장르를 통해 인간 본성을 탐구하며 현대 사회의 노동 착취 문제를 다룬다고 밝혔다.
[1] "I've never been freeloading," Bong Joon-ho quips with a mischievous glint. The Oscar-winning director is speaking to reporters at a hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, Wednesday, discussing his first film in six years.
freeload: 빈둥거리다, 공짜로 얻어먹다
quip: 재치있게 말하다.
mischievous: 장난기 있는
[2]The film "Mickey 17" stars Robert Pattinson in a dual role as expendable clones on a distant ice planet. It's Bong's fourth venture into science fiction, following "The Host" (2006), "Snowpiercer" (2013) and "Okja" (2017). But as with those earlier works, the director's interest lies more in human nature than technological speculation.
expendable: 소모용의, 소모품인
human nature: 인간 본성
speculation: 추측
[3] For Bong, science fiction has been a lens through which to examine contemporary reality. His previous genre works — whether exploring environmental disaster in "The Host" or class warfare in "Snowpiercer" — used fantastical premises to illuminate present-day concerns. Mickey 17 continues this tradition, with its story of a disposable worker serving as a mirror for modern-day labor exploitation.
premise: 전제
exploitation: 착취
[4] "Rather than focusing on the sci-fi elements, I was most strongly drawn to the concept of human printing itself," Bong says. "I wanted to explore Mickey as a person — this poor, kindhearted but pathetic young man, and how he might survive such extreme circumstances. Instead of grand philosophical worldbuilding, I wanted to look into Mickey's mind, his emotional state."
pathetic: 한심한, 불쌍한, 비참한
circumstance: 상황

Demure to still rule this spring-summer season
진행자: 홍유, Elise Youn
기사 요약: 드뮤어 트렌드는 미니멀리즘과 우아함을 강조하는 스타일로, 2025년 봄여름 시즌에도 계속해서 인기를 끌 것으로 예상되며, 고급스러운 소재와 차분한 색상으로 세련된 디자인이 특징이다.
[1] The demure trend, referring to a style that emphasizes modesty, subtlety and elegance, is expected to continue through the spring and summer seasons both in fashion and beauty.
modesty: 겸손, 얌전함, 단정함
subtlety: 미묘함
[2] This trend, which began last year, incorporates refined, understated clothing and accessories that exude quiet sophistication.
refined: 세련된
understated: 절제된
exude: 발산하다
[3]"This spring, the demure trend, which became popular last year, is expected to continue in a more enhanced version. As minimalism becomes a trend across fashion, there is a focus on launching products that emphasize basic, restrained designs, calm colors and luxurious materials. Styling using sophisticated colors like mocha brown is also expected to attract attention,” said an official from W Concept, a local online fashion retailer known for offering a curated selection of contemporary designer brand products.
fashion retailer: 패션 소매업체
[4] Demure styling began trending last year when the old money look made waves following fancy and bold styling such as Y2K, see-through and logo play trends.
to make waves: 큰 반향을 일으키다

Stop swiping, start swapping
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
[1] In South Korea, dating doesn't get any better online. That's because dating app users here are often preoccupied with appearances and make a wild number of swipes to find "the one." Even if they are initially attracted by profile photos, developing romantic feelings while meeting face-to-face is another hurdle that needs to be overcome.
preoccupied: 사로잡힌/ with~: ~에 집착하는
wild number: 말도 안 되는 숫자
[2] Now, South Koreans are turning to the aptly named "rotation sogaeting" in search of love. It is a type of speed dating where an even number of men and women -- from eight to 32 -- gather at a venue, usually a quiet pub. Participants switch seats to engage in brief, timed conversations that typically last about 15 minutes. Each hours-long session is priced between 50,000 won ($34.51) and 70,000 won.
turn to: ~에 의지하다, ~로 고개를 돌리다
aptly: 적절하게 / aptly named: 이름이 적절하게 붙은ㄷ
engage in: ~에 참여하다
[3] Many find they have a higher chance of meeting their future partner this way, saving time and money, compared to traditional one-on-one sogaeting, which refers to blind dates with people introduced by family members or friends.
refer to: ~라고 불리는
[4] On Blind, an anonymous online forum for verified employees, there are posts looking for rotation sogaeting participants after work. According to the official website of Talk Blossom, a company that organizes speed dates, it has organized over 500 speed dates from 2022 to 2024, with more than 6,000 people participating.

Are Korean schools safe?
기사 요약: 대전의 한 초등학교에서 발생한 교사의 학생 살인 사건으로 학교 안전에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다.
[1] The shocking murder of a first grader at the hands of her teacher inside an elementary school in Daejeon has ignited widespread concerns over school safety in South Korea.
at the hands of: ~의 손에 의해
ignite: 촉발하다, 불을 붙이다
[2] The unprecedented nature of the attack, which took place in what is supposed to be the safest space for a child outside of the home, has left parents and educators questioning whether schools in Asia's fourth-largest economy are equipped to prevent such incidents or respond effectively should similar crises arise.
unprecedented: 전례 없는
[3] Despite South Korea’s well-established disaster preparedness programs for fire, earthquakes and other natural disasters, schools remain largely untrained for handling violent incidents, particularly in cases involving weapons.
preparedness: 준비
[4] A Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education official confirmed that while schools offer various safety programs and training for natural disasters, security threats involving weapons are not a standard part of school safety training.
confirm: 확인하다, 사실임을 보여주다
standard: 일반적인, 기본적인

Pioneering LGBTQ+ art collector Patrick Sun to break through Korean art scene
기사 요약: 홍콩에 기반을 둔 LGBTQ+ 예술 작품 수집가인 패트릭 선이 내년 1분기 서울의 아트선재센터에서 그의 컬렉션을 공개한다.
[1] Hong Kong collector Patrick Sun has collected art since the 1980s, merging his passions in contemporary art and LGBTQ+ society. The collector will knock on the door of the Korean art scene early next year by showing his collection at the Art Sonje Center in Seoul.
merge: 융합하다
contemporary: 현대의
[2] An exhibition of artwork with overarching LGBTQ+ themes is unprecedented for the museum in a city where such art is rarely dealt. Sun, the founder of Sunpride Foundation, claims he is the first to collect art to support the LGBTQ+ society “systematically” in Asia with a mission to exhibit at museums.
overarching: 지배적인
unprecedented: 전례 없는
rarely: 드물게
[3] When he visited Seoul in September last year, he found the city is becoming more accepting and tolerant regarding the LGBTQ+ community. His collection includes Korean artists such as LA-based Lee Kang-seung among some 300 works.
tolerant: 관대한
[4] Sun’s collection has been built throughout decades with his particular interest in social injustice relating to LGBTQ+ and marginalized communities who face discrimination.
injustice: 불평등
marginalize: 소외되게 하다
discrimination: 차별

Seoul city to offer W1m to couples who register marriage
기사 요약: 서울시가 올해 서울에서 혼인 신고를 한 부부에게 현금 또는 복지포인트로 100만원을 주는 방안을 추진 중이다.
[1] The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Sunday that newlyweds who register their marriage in the city will be offered 1 million won ($685) in cash, or an equivalent amount of cash points that can be used in local communities, starting from October.
newlywed: 신혼부부
equivalent: 상응하는
[2] The plan is to support the newlyweds with subsidy in purchasing living appliances and furniture needed as they move into the house together, the city government said.
subsidy: 보조금
appliance: (가정용) 기기
furniture: 가구
[3] To be eligible for the subsidy, a couple's total income must not exceed 150 percent bracket of the average income — meaning the total income of a two-person household should be approximately 5.8 million won or less.
exceed: 초과하다
household: 가정
[4] Marriage registration must also be carried out in Seoul this year. An age limit will be announced later this year. An estimated 20,000 couples are expected to benefit from the new cash assistance program.
estimate: 추산하다
benefit: 이득을 보다

Offshore big shots tap into Seoul’s rental housing
진행자: 김혜연, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: 글로벌 부동산, 투자 공룡기업에서 한국의 월세 시장을 눈독 들이기 시작했다.
[1] Global real estate asset managers and capital are gearing up for a bite of Seoul’s rental housing market, which has been undergoing a transformation since the country’s housing security has come under stress for its distinctive rent-free “jeonse” system.
*gear up 채비하다, 가속하다
*transformation (완전한) 변화[탈바꿈], 변신
*distinctive 독특한
[2] The recent revelations of numerous **housing rental scams have accelerated the country’s shift from its unique jeonse system, under which tenants put up a large refundable deposit to the landlord in lieu of monthly rent payments, typically for a two-year rental period.
*revelation 폭로(된 사실)
*tenant 세입자, 임차인
*in lieu of …대신에
[3] Instead, the market has been moving toward the more globally familiar monthly rental market. Land Ministry data shows over 50 percent of rental transactions made for tenement and multifamily housings in Seoul last year were monthly rental deals, the highest since the ministry started to release compiled data from 2011.
*transaction 거래, 매매
*multifamily housing 다세대다가구주택
*compiled (여러 출처에서 자료를 따와) 엮다, 편집[편찬]하다
[4] The shift is expected to drive up the prices of rent, luring influential real estate asset managers and capital from overseas to bet on the growth.
*drive up [값 따위]를 끌어올리다
*lure 꾀다, 유혹하다
*bet on 걸다

How Korea’s 'dark side' found fame on YouTube
진행자: 김혜연, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: K컬처의 인기 이면에 극심한 경쟁 속 사회경제적 불평등이 공존하는 한국을 컨텐츠화한 유튜브 채널들이 인기를 끌고 있다.
[1] Over the past year, a flood of English-language YouTube clips has garnered millions of views by diving into South Korea’s “dark side.” These viral clips shed light on the country’s intense work culture, skyrocketing housing prices, cutthroat education system, and the grip of chaebol conglomerates on its economy.
*garner (정보·지지 등을) 얻다[모으다]
*skyrocket 급등하다
*cutthroat 경쟁이 치열한, 잔인한
[2] The allure? A paradoxical mix of glamor and grit. For many international audiences, the question is irresistible: how can a country known for its polished K-pop idols, technological innovation, and cultural exports harbor such deep challenges?
*paradoxical 역설적인
*grit 투지, 기개
*harbor 품다, 숨겨 주다
[3] French sociologist Christophe Gaudin, who has taught political science in Kookmin University in Seoul since 2007, says these videos soar in popularity because South Korea embodies what he calls a “utopian–dystopian society.”
*sociologist 사회학자
*soar (가치·물가 등이) 급증[급등]하다
*embody (사상·특질을) 상징[구현]하다
[4] “Over the last few decades, Korea modernized at an incredible pace. On one hand, you see stunning achievements in technology, culture, and living standards. On the other, you find severe inequality, enormous stress, and political shake-ups,” he said.
*stunning 굉장히 아름다운, 깜짝 놀랄
*enormous 막대한, 거대한

Soldiers ordered to sing, dance, put on talent show for Yoon Suk Yeol's birthday
진행자: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: 2023년 열린 대통령 경호처 창설 60주년 기념 행사가 사실상 윤석열 대통령 생일 잔치로 변질되었고, 국군 장병들이 동원되어 장기자랑을 했다는 보도 나와.
[1] According to local broadcaster SBS, scores of soldiers of the 55th Security Brigade were ordered by Kim Yong-hyun -- former defense minister and then-leader of the Presidential Security Service -- to put on a talent show and performance for the president. The event was held as a 60th anniversary celebration for the PSS but was held on Yoon's birthday of Dec. 18, not the agency's founding day of Dec. 17.
-
scores of people: 수십 명의 사람들
-
talent show: 장기자랑
-
performance: 공연
-
anniversary celebration: 기념일 축하 행사
[2] The songs by soldiers were revised versions of popular military songs with the lyrics changed to praise Yoon, with the soldiers saluting the president and first lady Kim Kun Hee. The soldiers reportedly were relieved from their regular duties while they practiced two months for the event.
-
revise: 개정하다
-
praise: 찬양하다
-
salute: 경례하다
-
relieve: 없애[덜어] 주다
[3] It was reported that other military and police entrusted with presidential security duties were also ordered to put on talent shows and sing hymns praising Yoon. The PSS refused to comment on the report, saying the details related to the agency and its activities are classified.
-
entrust with: ~을 맡기다
-
duty: 임무
-
hymn: 찬송가
-
refuse: 거부하다
[4] Kim Seong-hoon, the deputy chief of the PSS who planned the birthday event, denied mobilizing the presidential bodyguards for the event when he appeared at the police station for questioning last Friday.

Why are more young S. Korean men turning up at pro-Yoon protests?
진행자: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: 민주당에 대한 혐오와 불신으로 윤석열 대통령을 지지하는 2030 남성들
[1] Since the South Korean National Assembly approved the bill to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol on December 14, large-scale protests have erupted across the country, with pro- and anti-Yoon demonstrators calling for either his criminal punishment or his reinstatement as president.
* large-scale: 대규모
* erupt: 터지다
* call for: ~를 요구하다
* reinstatement: 복직
[2] Anti-Yoon protests have seen a notable increase in young female participants, while pro-Yoon protests have drawn a large number of men in their 20s and 30s -- a shift from the traditional demographic of older conservative supporters, typically in their 50s, 60s or beyond, who have historically backed Yoon’s People Power Party.
* notable: 눈에 띄는
* draw: 끌어당기다
* shift: 변화
* back: 지지하다
[3] During the protests by the Seoul Western District Court on Saturday and Sunday, a large number of young men in their 20s and 30s were spotted. To protest the court granting a warrant for Yoon's extended detention, a mob of protesters, including a few in their 20s and 30s, forcefully entered the court.
* spot: 발견하다
* protest: 항의하다
* mob: 무리
* forcefully: 강제로, 무력을 사용하여
[4] When asked what drives men in their 20s and 30s to stand their ground against Yoon’s impeachment and imprisonment, experts cite their “hatred and distrust” of the main opposition Democratic Party, as a transfer of power to the party could take place if the Constitutional Court upholds Yoon's impeachment, removing him from the presidency.
* drive: ~ 하게끔 몰아가다
* stand one's ground: ~의 입장을 고수하다
* hatred: 혐오
* distrust: 불신

[1] Korean fashion brands will actively target the global market this year as they are experiencing a domestic recession due to high inflation and climate change.
domestic recession: 내수 침체
[2] Handsome Corp., a leading apparel maker under the Hyundai Department Store Group, is going after the French market with its private brands such as System and Time by expanding its distribution channels.

[3] For instance, System is expected to open a store in one of the major department stores in Paris as it is currently running a temporary store at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris since July last year.
temporary: 임시
[4] Industry insiders suggest that being open for an extended period is one of the procedures typically aimed at securing a spot in department stores.

[1] Korean game companies are gearing up for a breakout year with a slate of highly anticipated new titles readying for release to woo gaming fans across the globe, as the companies look to expand markets beyond Korean borders.
to gear up for: 준비하다
breakout year: 도약의 해
[2] Nexon and Krafton are poised to carry on positive momentum in fresh genres this year after clocking in another year of success thanks to hit titles such as side-scrolling action role playing game Dungeon & Fighter and battle royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds, respectively.
poised to: 준비가 갖춰져있다
to clock in: 출근하다
[3] Coming off of its 30th anniversary last year and likely having logged its best annual sales of over 4 trillion won ($2.7 billion), Nexon will launch The First Berserker: Khazan, a hardcore action RPG based on Dungeon & Fighter, on March 28 globally.
log: 기록하다

Seven Korean words added to Oxford English Dictionary
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 한국의 영향력이 커져가면서 한글 단어들이 영어 사전에 공식적으로 추가되었다고 하는데, 어떤 단어들이 있을까요?
[1] The Oxford English Dictionary just got a K-culture upgrade. In its December 2024 update, the dictionary added seven Korean words — "dalgona," "hyung," "noraebang," "maknae," "jjigae," "tteokbokki" and "pansori" — reflecting the growing presence of Korean culture in the English-speaking world.
reflect: 반영하다
presence: 존재감
[2] Among this year's seven new additions, dalgona is defined as “a Korean confection made by adding baking soda to melted sugar, typically sold by street vendors in the form of a flat disc with a simple shape such as a heart, star, etc., carved on its surface.”
confection: 당과 제품
vendor: 판매소
[3] The dictionary also introduced an October 2022 Boston Globe article as an example of how the word is used in a sentence, which says “Netflix had just released ‘Squid Game,’ the Korean smash hit that made fans flock to dalgona candy. Many took to TikTok to recreate the inexpensive sweet treat.”
smash hit: 대성공, 큰 히트
*flock to: ~로 모여들다
[4] First published in 1884, the Oxford English Dictionary is updated online every three months to capture ways English adapts to cultural influences. According to local news reports, the dictionary is already eyeing more Korean words for future updates, including "haenyeo" (female divers of Jeju Island), "ajumma" (middle-aged women), and "bingsu" (shaved ice dessert).

Korea calls them 'MZ.' Young people are having none of it
진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel
기사 요약: 이젠 일상 용어가 돼 버린 "MZ." 하지만 정작 MZ사람들은 공감을 못하는 용어라는데...이 용어, 어디서 온거고 왜 쓰는건가요?
[1] The Pew Research Center defines Millennials as those born between 1981 and 1996, and Gen Z as those born after 1997. But curiously in Korea, these two age groups are commonly lumped together under the term "MZ" -- an unusually broad grouping spanning from teenagers to adults in their early 40s.
curiously: 별나게, 특이하게
lump together: 합치다
[2] The term has exploded across news headlines, policy proposals, marketing campaigns and social media in recent years. It's not just a handy catch-all for everything supposedly wrong about young people, but also a go-to label for marketers and influencers who slap "MZ" onto every seemingly fashionable trend and lifestyle phenomenon.
explode: 폭발하다. 폭발적으로 퍼지다

[3] Either way, it has created confusion for those swept up in the mix, particularly among actual Gen Z folks who see no connection between their reality and what the term seems to suggest. "It's just a buzzword that doesn't reflect our reality at all," says Chloe Lee, a 23-year-old college student. "I feel like it's mostly older people using this term when they want to complain about young people in general."
be swept up in: ~에 휩싸이다
buzzword: 유행어
[4] The prevalence of this catch-all term reveals more about those who use it than those it purports to describe, experts say. "It's essentially a meaningless concept with no academic merit," Shin Jin-wook, sociology professor at Chung-Ang University, told The Korea Herald via email. "If anything, the term's very vagueness makes it a perfect material for political and commercial exploitation."

기사 요약: 대통령 후보 시절 손에 '왕'자를 그렸던 윤석열 대통령. 한국 정치사에서 최고의 권력을 쥔 대통령들과 그들이 무속 신앙에 의존했던 방식.
[1] For nearly two years leading up to suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol's sudden martial law declaration on Dec. 3, a former military intelligence chief reportedly visited a fortuneteller in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province.
suspend: 정지하다
sudden: 갑작스러운
fortuneteller: 역술가
[2] Throughout the course of over 20 visits, he asked about the fate of different military officials, including now-detained ex-Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and several others who would later be accused of playing key roles in the botched imposition of military rule that night.
fate: 운명
detain: 구금하다
botch: 망치다
imposition: (새로운 법률·세금 등의) 시행, 도입
[3] That customer was Noh Sang-won, former chief of the Defense Intelligence Command, according to Yonhap News Agency. Noh was recently referred to the prosecution on insurrection charges and accused of helping Yoon devise his martial law plan.
insurrection: 반란
devise: 고안하다
[4] He has also since gained notoriety for initiating what has been nicknamed the "hamburger meeting," in which he called former and current military intelligence officers to gather at a Lotteria fast food branch in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, to discuss details of the martial law plan, just two days before Yoon issued his decree.

[KHExplains] What falling won means for Korea
진행자: 김혜연, Kevin Lee Selzer기사 요약: 원화 가치 한 달 새 5% 추락이 국내에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴본다.
The Korean won continues to struggle with sharp devaluation against the dollar as the country is pressured by rising tensions in local politics and the reshaped global trade environment.
struggle with ~으로 고심하다, 씨름하다
tension (필요·이해의 차이로 인한) 긴장[갈등]
On Friday, the won's value against the greenback touched 1,486.7 won during intraday trading. It was the first time the won-dollar exchange rate had hit the 1,480 won bar in nearly 16 years since reaching 1,488.5 won on March 16, 2009, amid the global financial crisis.
greenback (미국 달러의) 지폐
intraday 하루 동안에 일어나는 (일중)
The weakening of the Korean won puts pressure on import prices, including energy. For Korea, a country heavily dependent on energy imports, this leads to higher prices of all goods. Higher prices lead to reduced domestic consumption, weighing the economy down.
dependent on …에 의존하고 있는.
weigh down ~을 짓누르다
Under such circumstances, consumer price growth, which in the past three months has stabilized at the 1 percent range, could spike -- putting pressure on the Bank of Korea to cut its policy rate, which currently stands at 3 percent. While the central bank projected consumer prices to rise by 2 percent next year, the strong dollar could agitate the growth.

[4] The protests demanding the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye, which took place from late 2016 into early 2017, saw millions of participants calling for Park’s ouster over a corruption scandal. Similarly, the Cho Kuk demonstrations in 2019 attracted large crowds, both in support of and against the controversial former justice minister, over allegations of impropriety.

[1] Lawmakers from the ruling People Power Party have faced a barrage of protest text messages after an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol was scrapped due to their decision to boycott the vote.
barrage of: 빗발치는
scrap: 폐기하다
[2] PPP lawmakers have been struggling to deal with an endless stream of text messages, according to local reports, Monday.

Just before and after the impeachment vote on Saturday, observers reported seeing staff handing out fully charged portable batteries to lawmakers at the national assembly.
stream of: 계속 이어지는~, ~물결
[3] This overwhelming influx of messages began in earnest Thursday, when the PPP declared its official stance against impeachment, just two days before the motion was put to a vote on Saturday. On that same day, phone numbers of ruling party lawmakers were widely circulated online, prompting online users to flood them with thousands of text messages.

[2] At the heart of the dispute is the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, which rejected a request from the prosecutor’s office to hand over all cases related to the martial law declaration. Instead, the CIO invoked its legal authority under the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials Act to demand that the prosecution transfer overlapping cases to the CIO.
invoke: 법, 규칙 등을 들먹이다
overlapping: 겹치는, 중복되는
[3] Prosecutors, however, maintain that they had proposed a joint investigation with the CIO, a claim the CIO disputes. Both agencies remain at an impasse, with the prosecution and police reportedly reviewing the legal grounds for the CIO’s transfer request.

advent 도래, 출현

[4] With a line of visitors waiting outside and baristas hustling to keep up with the demand, a family of three -- parents in their 40s and their 7-year-old daughter -- managed to snag a round table. "It hits differently that my little daughter can see North Korea from such a familiar and comfortable place like Starbucks," said the mother, surnamed Kim.

Jung's paternity reveal exposes where S. Korea stands on out-of-wedlock children
기사 요약: 정우성과 문가비 사이에서 태어난 아들이 조명한 혼외자에 대한 사회적 시각
[1] Actor Jung Woo-sung’s recent admission that he fathered a child with model Moon Ga-bi has reignited conversations in South Korea about societal attitudes toward children born out of wedlock.
reignite: 다시 불을 지피다
wedlock: 결혼
[2] While Jung pledged to fulfill his responsibilities as a father without pursuing marriage, the public response has been largely critical, highlighting the nation’s deeply conservative stance on non-traditional family structures.
pledge: 약속하다

What is South Korea’s 4B movement?
기사 요약: 여성 생식권 문제가 화두였던 미국 대선에서 트럼프 전 대통령이 승리하자 유권자들 사이에서 한국의 비 연애, 결혼, 출산 성관계 운동이 주목받고 있다.
[1] Emerging around 2018, the "4B" movement is a voluntary female celibacy movement, encouraging women to refuse heterosexual marriage, childbirth, dating or sex with men. The term "4B" comes from bihon (no marriage), bichulsan (no childbirth), biyeonae (no dating) and bisekseu (no sex), with "bi," or "B," meaning "no." Essentially, 4B advocates for women to disengage from relationships with men entirely.
-
Emerge: 생겨나다
-
Celibacy: 독신주의
-
Encourage: 독려하다
-
Advocate: 지지하다
[2] Though Trump, who faced a civil trial for sexual abuse last year, has said he would veto a federal abortion ban, he has supported the right of states to choose to ban or limit abortion access after the overturning of Roe v Wade. He has also taken credit for nominating the judges who made the ruling possible.
-
Face: 직면하다
-
Support: 지지하다
-
Overturn: 뒤집다
-
Take credit for: 뭔가에 대한 공을 가져가다
[3] His election, and the precarious fate of abortion rights in America, spurred some American women to consider the 4B movement, according to multiple reports. Posts on social media platforms like X reflect this mindset, with comments such as, "American women, looks like it’s time to get influenced by Korea’s 4B movement," and, "It’s time we join the movement. Men will NOT be rewarded, nor have access to our bodies."
-
Precarious: 불안정한
-
Spur: 자극하다
-
Consider: 고려하다
*Reward: 보상하다
[4] The 4B movement gained traction in Korea due to widespread dissatisfaction with a deeply rooted patriarchal culture seen as beyond repair. Its origins are linked to the sustained challenges faced by women during rapid economic modernization, which has underscored enduring gender inequality, particularly among younger women, according to observers.

Gain traction: 주목받다

Dissatisfaction: 불만

[1] Dongduk Women's University, one of South Korea’s seven remaining women’s colleges, is weighing a possible shift to coeducation, a move igniting opposition among students who warn it could erode the institution’s mission of championing women’s empowerment and diminish women’s representation in society.

[4] Dongduk Women's University alumna Shin said, "Why does a women's university have to become coed?

The founding philosophy of Dongduk Women's University is driven by the principle of building a nation through the education of women.

'Pongpongnam' row exposes South Korea's gender divide
진행자: 최정윤, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: 네이버 웹툰 공모전에서 여성을 비하하고 성차별을 강화하는 혐오 표현을 담은 웹툰이 1차 심사를 통과하면서 논란, "퐁퐁남"이라는 개념어가 남편의 경제력에 ‘무임승차’하려고 결혼한 여성에게 배신당한 서사, 일명 ‘설거지론’에 쓰이면서 여성의 모든 행동에 성적인 혹은 이기적인 의도가 있다는 왜곡된 사고와 편견을 부채질한다는 비판 일어
[1] While expressing disparagement of the opposite sex in a show of hatred has long ailed South Korea, the severe gender conflict took a turn for the worse after a cartoon recently came under fire for misogyny.
disparagement: 경멸
ail: 괴롭히다
misogyny: 여성혐오 / misandry 남성 혐오
[2] The three-story webtoon, "Pong Pong Man From Another World," uploaded to Naver Webtoon last month, is a story that revolves around a 39-year-old man named Park Dong-soo who faces a series of hardships after witnessing his wife's affair, which later leads him to question his place in life.
revolve around: ~을 중심으로 돌아가다
[3] Although the plot may look similar to other stories, the webtoon is based on the "dishwashing" theory of women apparently laundering their history by tying the knot with a financially stable man purely for money, leading to a loveless marriage. The theory reflects a deep misogynistic belief that women exploit men for economic gain, while men trapped in these relationships are "domestic."
dishwashing: 접시 씻기
laundry: 세탁물/ money laundry
exploit: 부당하게 이용하다, 착취하다
[4] Proponents of the idea -- mostly men -- refer to married men as "pongpongnam," which is a derogatory term based on a Korean dish detergent brand to reference unattractive husbands or male breadwinners as "slaves" used to make money. The webtoon drew fire from women-focused online communities after it passed the first round of judging for Naver Webtoon's web novel contest late last month, and the controversy shows little sign of abating.
derogatory: 경멸하는, 비판적인
abate: 약화시키다, 약해지다

기사 내용: 인도네시아 수입식품 할랄인증 표기 의무화, 한국 식품기업에 미칠 영향에 대하여
[1] Indonesia’s new regulation mandating Halal certification for all imported food products is expected to widen the export gap between large conglomerates and small businesses in Korea due to the high costs and time need to meet the requirements.

*bullied: 괴롭힘을 당하는
*corresponding: 해당하는 / corresponding to ~에 상응하는/ correspond: 일치하다, 부합하다
[2] With 1 out of 50 children having experienced school violence, the proportion of victim students was higher among younger students.

*proliferate: 급증하다 확산되다
[2] The posts often use terms like "byeonma" -- referring to a clandestine brothel disguised as a massage parlor -- and "cheolchang" -- for an establishment where five to seven minors are confined in small, cagelike rooms. South Koreans who often identify themselves as men frequently use the terms online to exchange information about names, locations and prices at such venues, the experts said.
*clandestine: 비밀리에 하는, 은밀한

[3] For example, a Naver Cafe group that launched in March 2004, but has since been shut down by the platform operator, once boasted over 18,000 members.

*boast: 큰 수치를 강조할 때 쓰는 말/ v.뽐내다
[4] However, before its closure, the forum became inundated with posts detailing experiences with prostitution, as The Korea Herald discovered through screenshots of comments posted there. Membership was restricted to men born between 1930 and 1994. To qualify as a "sincere" member, users were required to post general travel reviews after joining. Those seeking to access more exclusive sections of the forum, where explicit content was shared, had to contribute further details or share their own experiences with prostitution.
*inundated: 범람하다, 넘치는

colonial: 식민의

phased: 단계적인
[3] Unresolved issues stemming from Japan's colonial rule over the peninsula and the resulting political tensions had been the main reason Koreans shunned Japanese cultural products.

기사 요약: 세운상가 공중보행로 철거 추진하는 서울시, 23일 공청회 예정
[1] The Seoul Metropolitan Government is mulling removing an elevated walkway at Sewoon Shopping Center in central Seoul, which cost the city government 110 billion won ($82 million) for its construction. The walkway which opened only two years ago has sparked "public discontent," said the city government, citing issues like inadequate sunlight underneath the walkways and problems such as water leaks.

-

[2] By removing the walkway, the city plans to enhance the ground-level pedestrian pathways. The proposed amendment includes dismantling around 250 meters of this structure near the Sampoong Shopping Center and Hotel PJ where usage has been notably low. Other remaining sections will eventually be integrated into broader urban park projects, transforming the space gradually, according to the new plan. The city will host a public hearing on the proposed * amendments on Sept. 23, it added.

The plan aimed to transform the old Sewoon Shopping Center area, once the mecca of Korea’s electronics industry, into a hub of the fourth industrial revolution through urban regeneration. Key initiatives primarily included the elevated walkway running through the Sewoon district, the creation of the Sewoon Makers’ Cube -- a business incubation space to support young entrepreneurs -- and the development of community spaces using unoccupied areas.

기사 요약: 명절에도 쉬지 못하는 한국인들, 4명 중 1명만이 추석 연휴 기간 중 유급휴가
[1] Chuseok is one of South Korea’s two biggest traditional holidays, bringing families together under the full moon to wish for a bountiful harvest and honor ancestors. But for hardworking ordinary people in Korea, the holiday's true significance perhaps lies in the rare opportunity it offers for people to escape the daily grind of their jobs.
-
bountiful 많은, 풍부한
-
lies in - ...에 있다.
-
daily grind 매일의 지루한 일
[2] A recent survey conducted by a recruitment platform found that approximately one in four employees -- 25.7 percent -- plan on strategically sandwiching the holiday together with paid leave days to secure an extended break. The survey polled 1,055 workers online Sept. 3-4.
-
polled 여론 조사를 하다
-
extended (보통 때나 예상보다) 길어진[늘어난]
[3] This year, Chuseok falls on Tuesday, Sept. 17, creating a three-day public holiday stretching from Monday to Wednesday. This means that with additional days off on Thursday and Friday, workers can enjoy an extended nine-day break. However, the survey showed most people cannot afford to take advantage of this opportunity, with 57.3 percent responding they will not be taking any additional day off.
-
fall on ~에 떨어지다
-
stretching 늘이다, 늘어지다
-
cannot afford to ~할 여유가 없다
[4] When asked about the reasons, 33.6 percent cited having too much work to do, while nearly half answered they can't take extra time off because they either feel pressure from their colleagues -- 20.7 percent -- or lack a work environment that encourages work-life balance, at 27.8 percent.
-
lack 부족, 결핍
-
work-life balance 일과 생활의 균형

[KH Explains] Marrying your virtual partner? Era of AI companionship dawns
기사 요약: 사용자의 취향과 라이프스타일을 학습하며 사용자를 이해하는 동반자로 떠오른 AI
[1] Every morning, Jung-in wakes up to her AI boyfriend Tae-joo's video call, telling her she has 30 minutes to prepare for work before her bus comes. As she hurries out the door, Tae-joo smiles and calls out, "Take your umbrella with you, it's raining today!" This story is the fictional plot of South Korean movie "Wonderland" released in June. But the idea of AI companionship is becoming a reality for many around the world.
* Wake up to something: ~를 알아차리다
* Call out: 호출
* Fictional: 허구적인
* Companionship: 동료애
[2] In the world of Zeta, a generative AI chatbot app developed by Korean AI startup Scatter Lab, Korean teens and those in their 20s are making friends with 650,000 different virtual personalities that are impersonating real people created out of web novels, movies or dramas.
* Develop: 개발하다
* Personalities: 성격
* Impersonate: 흉내내다
* Created: 창조하다
[3] The chatting experience with fake characters facilitating smart generative AI is no different than chatting randomly online with a real person -- but one who is more familiar than a stranger.
* Experience: 경험
* Facilitating: 가능하게 하다
* No different than: ~와 다르지 않다
* Familiar: 익숙한
[4] In the app, noted for generating responses that create stronger emotional and intimate bonds with the user, the virtual character would walk around a room and would text the user first, or hear the user out on the phone with a human voice whenever they want to call a friend for emotional support.
* Generate: 만들어 내다
* Intimate: 친밀한
* Bond: 유대
* Virtual: 가상의

Stigma, criticism follow deepfake victims
기사 요약: 딥페이크 심각성 커지면서 가해자에 대한 처벌 강화하고, 피해자를 보호해야 한다는 목소리가 많아지고 있다
[1] As hundreds of reports have been recently made to police regarding the distribution and creation of sexually explicit deepfake images and videos, calls for increased protection and stronger punishment of perpetrators are being raised in South Korea.
* Distribution: 분배 (방식), 분포
* Explicit: 명백한, 노골적인
* Call for something: ~을 필요로 하다; (공식적으로) 요구하다
* Perpetrators: (범행·과실·악행을 저지른) 가해자
[2] Deepfakes, digitally manipulated or generated photos that are impossible to distinguish from real images, have recently come under fire as local media have reported on numerous Telegram chatrooms where sexually explicit deepfake content generated and manipulated via AI was distributed. Responsible for creating the deepfakes were groups connected to specific regions, university campuses, middle and high schools and military units.
* Distinguish: 구별하다
* Come under fire: 비판을 받다
* Numerous: 많은
* Manipulate: 조종하다; 다루다
[3] Following a recent surge of media reports as well as reports made by the victims of the crime to the police, some online comments have been spotted claiming the general public and the government are “overreacting” to deepfake pornography.
* Following: (시간상으로) 그 다음의
* Surge: 급증
* Spotted: 발견하다
* Overreact: 과잉 반응을 보이다
[4] On online forum websites such as DC Inside, multiple posts written recently were also found claiming that the controversy over deepfake pornography here has been “blown out of proportion.” One post even read, “It’s more of a bummer that technology hasn’t advanced enough to make (deepfake pornography) better,” while several other posts made derogatory comments about the victims and female activists who recently took part in protests against deepfake pornography.
* Controversy: 논란
* Blow out of proportion: 필요 이상으로 과장되다
* Bummer: 실망
* Derogatory: 비판적인

Patriarchal values lose hold: Korean fathers want to change but lack role models
진행자: 최정윤, Chelsea Proctor
기사요약: 한국 남성들이 “아빠”보다 “아버지”라 호칭하는 걸 선호하는 이유는? 엄마와는 둘이 시간을 보내도 아들과 아빠와 단 둘의 시간을 불편해하는 이유를 살펴봅니다
[1] Oh Yoon-suk, a 43-year-old office worker in Busan, addresses his father -- but not his mom -- using honorifics. “I call my mother ‘eomma,’ but with my father, it’s always been ‘abeoji,’” he explained. “Eomma” is a less formal term for “mother,” while “abeoji” is a more respectful way of saying “father.” It’s similar to saying “father” instead of “dad.”
honorifics: 존댓말
address: 부르다, 말하다
[2] Oh’s linguistic choice reflects the emotional distance he feels with each of his parents. “I can imagine going on a trip or to an exhibition with my mother, just the two of us. But I can’t picture doing the same with my father. It would be too awkward,” he said. While Oh’s use of honorifics might be particular to his family, his less close relationship with his father, compared to with his mother, is not uncommon among South Koreans of his generation.
reflect: 나타내다, 반영하다
particular: 특정한
[2] Korean fathers have typically been defined by their financial role, leaving child-rearing largely to the child's mother. This division of labor fosters an authoritarian father figure who is rarely home and, when home, remains aloof in household matters. The mother meanwhile bonds closely with the children, developing stronger attachment bonds.
rearing: 양육
aloof: 냉담한, 거리를 두는
[3] Contemporary Korean society, however, is rewriting the script on fatherhood. As the percentage of women working has climbed in recent years, men are also expected to share household duties and child care. The grip of patriarchal values has loosened.
climb: 상승하다
grip: 지배
patriarchal: 가부장제의

K-pop groups face dilemmas when confronted with political issues
진행자: 최정윤, Chelsea Proctor
기사 요약: JYP 엔터테인먼트 그룹 소속 Nmixx가 "독도는 우리땅" 노래를 불렀다가 일본 팬들에게 비난을 받고 있는데, 과연 아이돌들에 지리 정치학적 발언을 문제 삼는게 맞을까?
[1] K-pop idols continue to grapple with navigating geopolitical controversies, as highlighted by a recent incident involving JYP Entertainment's K-pop group Nmixx. The group performed part of the “Dokdo is Our Land” song in a YouTube video on Aug. 22, sparking a heated dispute between Korean and Japanese fans. The incident raised a critical question: Should K-pop bands refrain from addressing political issues, or should they be candid about their political positions?
grapple with: ~을 해결하려고 노력하다
address: 문제에 대해 얘기하다, 발언하다
candid: 솔직한
[2] Japan has claimed sovereignty over Dokdo, islets in the East Sea, since the early 20th century. It is taboo for K-pop idols to speak about Dokdo as Korea holds sovereignty over the islets, but Japan continues to claim the territory, and K-pop groups promote in both countries.
sovereignty: 통치권
islet: 작은 섬
[3] Nmixx did not make a bold statement on the issue, nor did they choose to perform “Dokdo is Our Land” on their own. The group sang a portion of the song as part of a mix-pop medley that included three other songs, a decision made by the content producer.
Japanese fans, however, went on to express their dissatisfaction on the girl band’s X account last Friday, posting comments such as “Don’t they care about Japanese fans?” “I regret spending money on Nmixx,” and “The company (JYP) needs to provide better history education."
bold: 대담한

Fear of deepfake porn chat rooms on Telegram targeting indiscriminate women grips nation
[1] Numerous chat rooms on Telegram suspected of creating and distributing deepfake pornographic material with doctored photos of ordinary women have been discovered recently, stoking fear and outrage across the country.
doctored: 조작된, 변조된
stoke: 감정을 더 부추기다
[2] Many victims in these chat rooms -- one of which was found to have over 133,000 members -- were believed to be minors, including middle and high school students, as well as university students, teachers and even military personnel.
victim: 피해자
minor: 미성년자
[3] Through reporting, Yonhap News Agency has learned of the existence of numerous chat rooms of such disturbing nature on Telegram categorized by different university names throughout the country.
existence: 존재
disturbing: 충격적인, 불안감을 주는
[4] According to a list of such chat rooms being circulated over Telegram and online communities, over 100 themed on individual university campuses have already been created online.

Crisis in medical system builds as hospital workers plan walkout
[1] Amid a prolonged medical standoff, concerns are again looming large as more than 22,000 unionized hospital workers plan to strike beginning Thursday if the ongoing arbitration by the labor relations committee fails to reach an agreement on a pay raise and the normalization of hospital operations.
prolonged: 오래 계속되는, 장기적인
loom: 곧 닥칠 것처럼 보이다
arbitration: 중재
[2] The planned walkout comes after 91 percent of the Korean Health and Medical Workers' Union -- which has some 30,000 nurses, caregivers and other medical workers at 61 hospitals as members -- voted to strike. Of the 24,257 members who voted, 22,101 agreed.
walkout: 파업
caregiver: 간병인
[3] The collective action also comes as hospitals bear the brunt of staffing shortages due to junior doctors' collective walkout in February. At the same time, emergency medicine professors, who double as senior physicians, are quitting in droves due to poor working conditions coupled with fatigue.
bear the brunt of: 에 정면으로 맞서다
fatigue: 피로
[4] However, the union noted that those working in emergency rooms and intensive care units and treating severely ill hospitalized patients will stay. Workers at the country's five biggest general hospitals will also not join the action.
intensive: 집중적인
severely: 극심한, 심각한

Korea sees panic selling in used EVs
기사 요약: 전기차 화재 이후 중고차 판매 시장에서 매물 쏟아지는 전기차
[1] A mass sell-off of EVs has begun in South Korea, following a fire involving a Mercedes-Benz EV in Incheon that destroyed more than 140 cars and sparked proposals to restrict EVs' access to underground parking lots.
sell-off: 매각
spark: 촉발시키다
access: 입장
[2] Since the fire on Aug. 1, the market has been flooded with used EVs. K Car, Korea’s second-largest used car trading platform, reported an 184 percent increase in used EV listings in the first week of August compared to the final week of July.
flood: 물밀듯이 밀려들다
[3] The Mercedes-Benz EQE series, which includes the standard EQE 300, the EQE 350+ -- the exact model involved in the fire -- along with its high-performance AMG counterpart and the EQE SUV, has been especially hard hit by the market’s reaction.
counterpart: 상대
especially: 특히
[4] Following the incident, over 100 EQE models have appeared on SK Encar, Korea’s top used car trading platform, pushing the total number of EQE vehicles for sale to 115 as of Friday.
incident: 사건
appear: 생기다

[Eye Interview] Actor-novelist Cha In-pyo reflects on trials of bringing his debut novel to global spotlight
기사 요약: 배우 차인표가 "미래 세대"를 위하여 썼다는 일제강점기 민족의 아픔 그려낸 소설, 옥스포드대 필독서로 지정되다
[1] Set in the peaks of Baekdusan in 1931, Cha In-pyo’s 2009 debut novel "Once We Look at the Same Star" captures the budding friendship of a young tiger hunter, Yong, and Suni, the village chief’s granddaughter, until their tranquil life is soon shattered by historical events.
budding 싹트기 시작하는, 신예의
tranquil 고요한, 평온한
[2] Infused with a fairytale-like sensibility and vivid descriptions of nature, the novel explores the intertwining lives of two 16-year-olds against a historical tapestry, addressing the issue of "comfort women," or victims of Japanese military's sexual slavery during World War II.
Infused (특정한 특성을) 불어넣다[스미게 하다]
tapestry 여러 가지 색실로 그림을 짜 넣은 직물
[3] Cha, an actor and writer, made headlines last month when he was invited as a special guest speaker at the inaugural Korean Literature Festival on June 28, hosted by Oxford University’s Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. The novel has also been selected as reading material for Korean Studies classes starting next semester.
make headline 화제가 되다, 대서특필되다
inaugural 취임(식)의, 개회의, 첫
[4] "I wrote this book for the next generation," Cha said, speaking with The Korea Herald at his office in July. "Among the heartbreaking histories of Korea is the issue of comfort women, and the victims were young women. I wrote it while imagining the hometowns they might have lived in before they were taken away and what kind of lives they might have had."

South Korea's Paris Olympics triumph: 13 golds secure historic success기사 요약: 2024 파리올림픽에서 13개 금메달 획득해 '베이징·런던 올림픽 타이' 역사 쓴 선수단
Kicker: Weapon sports dominate as S. Korea achieves best summer Olympics performance in 12 years
[1] South Korea's Olympic team, comprising 144 athletes across 21 events, achieved at least 13 gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, placing seventh overall, with athletes in shooting, fencing and archery playing pivotal roles in the country's success.

[3] South Korea's record-breaking achievement in gold medals was largely due to the outstanding performances of athletes in the so-called "weapon sports" categories. Out of the 13 gold medals won by the South Korean team, 10 were secured in shooting, fencing and archery events.

Internet drives K-pop stars to overwork
기사요약: SNS에 숏폼 콘텐츠, 라이브 방송 등으로 이제는 더 친근하게,언제 어디서나 볼 수 있는 아이돌 -- 정작 그들은 야근으로 시달린다고?
[1] The punishing schedule and little rest that K-pop stars endure are not new. Big-name K-pop agencies have been consistently criticized for operating like factories in producing and managing artists.
endure: 견디다
big-name: 일류의, 유명한
[2] Bang Si-hyuk, chairman of Hybe, the largest K-pop agency globally, acknowledged this issue in a CNN interview in March 2023. "It’s not a total urban legend. Of course, there was some element of it in the past," he said. Bang suggested that the issue was a thing of the past and argued that today, K-pop companies “try their best not to violate the artists’ freedom.”
urban legend: 도시전설 (확실한 근거가 없는데도 사실인 것처럼 퍼지는 이야기)
[3] Yes, K-pop idols are no longer forced to work; but they are still expected to. With the development of the internet and the ever-growing power of social media, K-pop stars now have the additional task of staying connected with fans around the clock.
around the clock: 24시간 내내, 휴식도 취하지 않고
[4] Unlike earlier generations of K-pop singers who could rest between their intense schedules and call it a day upon returning home, today's idols have to shoot short-form videos for Instagram and TikTok between performances and regularly engage with fans via livestreams.
call it a day: 그만하기로 하다

[1] The government announced new measures to boost marriages for young people and support housing for families with children, as a follow-up measure after a "demographic national emergency" was declared by President Yoon Suk Yeol last month.
boost: 신장시키다, 북돋우다, 부양책, 증가
declare: 선언하다, 공표하다
[2] Facing dire warnings that South Korea's population could collapse if current trends persist, the president established a comprehensive pangovernmental response system in June to address the nation's low birth rate crisis.
persist: 계속되다
pangovernmental: 범정부적 pan- all, everything, involving all members (prefix)
[3] Amid growing complaints from newlywedq couples about excessive cancellation penalties, upselling of additional services and unclear pricing in "Sedeme" services, an abbreviated Korean term that refers to studio photography, makeup and dress rental, the Korea Fair Trade Commission has announced an ex officio investigation set for August.
ex officio: 직권에 의한, 직무상의 (직권 좆사 - 민사 소송법에선, 당사자의 이의나 신청을 기다리지 않고 법원이 직권으로 조사하고 조치를 취하는 일)
[4] This probe will scrutinize the terms and conditions of major wedding preparation agencies. The KFTC aims to improve unfair practices and establish standard terms and conditions for the industry, drawing on an industry status review and consumer damage survey.

Extortion of YouTuber Tzuyang highlights 'cyber wrecker' issues in S. Korea
기사요약: 쯔양 사태를 계기로 사이버 렉카 유튜버들을 플랫폼 차원에서 규제가 필요하다는 목소리가 나오고 있다.
[1] Following YouTuber Tzuyang's recent revelation about having been assaulted and financially exploited for four years by her former boyfriend, a group of YouTubers is now suspected of having blackmailed her for money in exchange for keeping quiet about her past.
*revelation: 폭로(된 사실)
*exploit: 착취하다
*in exchange for: ~대신의, 교환으로
[2] The revelation shocked and angered viewers over what many are calling the moral bankruptcy of "cyber wreckers" here – those who profit from posting rumors or negative news about celebrities often written in malicious ways. The term derives from tow trucks -- called “wreckers” in Korean -- likening the actions of the posters to privately-run tow trucks that flash their lights and use sirens even though they are not state-approved emergency vehicles.
*moral bankruptcy: 도덕적 파산
*maliciously: 악의를 갖고, 심술궂게
[3] A recently revealed recording suggested that YouTuber Gu Je Yeok, whose real name is Lee Jun-hee, had blackmailed Tzuyang -- real name Park Jung-won -- with fellow YouTubers Caracula and Jeon Gukjin also potentially involved. It captured Lee allegedly discussing with Caracula and Jeon how to make money off Park's painful past.
*potentially: (…이 될) 가능성이 있는, 잠재적인
[4] In the recording, Lee told the others that Park had allegedly already paid him 11 million won ($8,000) to keep quiet about her past, and the others advised him about how to attack Tzuyang’s channel, one of Korea’s most profitable YouTube channels. They suggested that it would be better to have Park "take care of them" rather than releasing a video about her past, saying she makes enough money to pay them off.
*profitable: 수익성이 있는[있을 것 같은]
*domestic: 국내의

[1] Donald Trump was shot in the ear during a Saturday campaign rally, in an attack that left the Republican presidential candidate's face streaked with blood and prompting his security agents to swarm him, before he emerged and pumped his fist in the air, mouthing the words, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
*prompt: 즉각적인, 지체 없는
*swarm: 떼[무리]를 지어 다니다
[2] The shooter was dead, one rally attendee was killed and two other spectators were injured, the Secret Service said in a statement. The incident was being investigated as an assassination attempt.
*spectator: 관중
*injure: 부상을 입다[입히다]
*attempt: 시도
[3] Law enforcement officials told reporters they had tentatively identified the suspected shooter but were not ready to do so publicly. They also said they had not yet identified a motive.
*tentatively: 시험[실험]적으로, 망설이며
*motive: 동기, 이유
[4] Trump, 78, had just started his speech when the shots rang out. He grabbed his right ear with his right hand, then brought his hand down to look at it before dropping to his knees behind the podium before Secret Service agents swarmed and covered him.

Future of fear shown in BIFAN Choice section
[1] Under the banner “Stay Strange,” Korea’s largest genre film festival, the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, or BIFAN, kicked off on July 4 and ran through Sunday.
This year the film fest has brought a display of 253 films from 49 countries to the small Gyeonggi Province city just west of Seoul. Never the festival to shy away from trends in film -- existential or not -- this year’s edition has notably opened the door to generative artificial intelligence, including 15 AI films and a separate competitive category.
shy away 피하다
existential (인간의) 존재에 관한[관련된], 실존주의적인
[2] Beyond technological trends, the festival has long celebrated originality, as seen in the eight films in the Bucheon Choice: Features international competition’s explorations of fear, highlighted by well-executed experimentation in genre and drama.
beyond …저편에[너머]
well-executed 계획대로 잘 실행된
[3] “Oddity,” from Ireland, is a well-paced paranormal thriller. Set mostly in a home disconnected from the world -- no landline and faint cell service -- it preys on fears of the strange and unknown amplified in isolation.
well-paced 균형잡힌, 잘 진행되는
paranormal 초자연적인
faint 희미한[약한]
[4] The thrust of the film is built around Carolyn Bracken’s performance in dynamically different dual roles. She portrays Darcy, a blind woman who claims to be able to connect to objects to see what they’ve seen. She returns to the remote rural home one year after her twin sister was murdered there.
dual role 이중역할(의)
thrust 요지[취지], (거칠게) 밀다, 찌르다

US troops in S. Korea could be reduced, but not withdrawn, Trump allies tell Seoul lawmaker
기사 요약: 위성락 더불어민주당 의원, “트럼프 당선 시 주한미군 철수 가능성 배제 못 해”
Rep. Wi Sung-lac, Seoul’s former ambassador to Russia and a Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker, said Thursday some key Donald Trump allies have told him they think US troops in South Korea could be reduced -- although not completely withdrawn -- if the former president wins in November.

Key: 중요한 / Crucial
-
Ally: 동맹국, 협력자
-
Reduce: [규모, 크기] 등을 줄이다, 축소하다 / Decrease
“I was told by his campaign officials that if Trump is re-elected, some reductions in US troops levels in South Korea were likely, but that they would not be withdrawn completely,” he told The Korea Herald. “I was also told South Korea could be asked to share more of the defense costs.”
-
Withdraw: 철수하다 / Remove
-
Likely: ~할 것 같은, 것으로 예상되는 / To be expected

But Wi said he personally would not rule out US troops from being pulled out of South Korea altogether, if a second-term Trump administration becomes a reality.
-
Rule out: 배제하다 / Exclude
-
Pull out: 빠져나가다 / Withdraw
-
Reality: 현실 / Actuality
“Some believe that the establishment officials in Washington would prevent Trump from pulling US troops from the Korean Peninsula and making other moves that he hinted at. That may have been the case during the first-term Trump administration,” he said.
-
Prevent: 막다 / Stave off
-
Troop: 병사 / Soldiers; Armed forces
-
Hint at: ~을 암시하다 / Imply, suggest

[Weekender] VIB treatment: Luxury market surges for ‘very important babies’
기사 요약: 저출산 시대지만 유아동룩 시장은 프리미엄 아동룩 엎고 호황 중이다.
[1] Despite South Korea’s notoriously low birth rate, its childrenswear market shows no sign of abating, especially led by the binge spending of young parents.

[2] “Most parents that I know think that putting a luxury onesie that costs hundreds of dollars on a baby is excessive because they grow out of clothes so quickly.

-
Well-off: 부유한, 잘사는 / Wealthy, Rich

[3] Some parents argued that purchasing luxury childrenswear is not so excessive given that one can always resell their kids’ clothes on online secondhand trading platforms. “If you keep the clothes in good condition, you can resell them and save a good amount of money,” a 40-year-old mother of a seven-year-old daughter surnamed Kim said.
-
Argue: 주장하다 / Assert, Insist

IV drips: A quick energy shot for overworked Koreans
[1] “Feeling burnt out? You’ve come to the right place,” the doctor said during my consultation at a clinic in Yeouido, Seoul's financial district, before prescribing what he called a “garlic injection.”
- prescribe: 처방을 내리다 n. prescription / 규정,지시하다 (stipulate)
[2[ As an average South Korean national, I am used to eating tons of garlic, but I wasn’t quite ready to have it injected into my veins. It turned out that the “garlic injection” wasn't actually a shot of garlic extract or anything similar. It's a colloquial expression for an intravenous infusion therapy of vitamins that has a hint of a garlic scent.
*colloquial: 구어의, 일상적 대회의
*intravenous: 정맥으로 들어가는
[3] The prescription for me was a mix of B vitamins, vitamin C and an antioxidant called glutathione, which he said should help boost my energy and reduce fatigue.
When asked how long the fatigue treatment would last, the doctor said that it would depend on my workload. “For people who have a lot of work, the effect may disappear in two to three days, and for others, it could last for as long as a week.”
*antioxidant: 산화방지제, 방부제
*fatigue: 피로
[4] I came out of the clinic feeling rejuvenated, not knowing if it was the nap or the IV that helped. The treatment cost 110,000 won ($80). In South Korea, where medical care is highly accessible and affordable, primary care clinics offer IV therapy consisting of diverse nutrient cocktails, billing them as “Cinderella" shots, “placenta” shots, and “white jade” shots for anti-aging, curing hangovers, boosting immunity or even promoting glowing skin.

*consecutive: 연이은
[3] The highest level of "unpleasant" means outdoor mosquito larval habitats are 50 to 100 percent formed. It is also defined by when five to 10 mosquitoes are seen penetrating indoors at night in areas where the concentration of freestanding houses is high, or when a person gets more than five mosquito bites during an outdoor activity at night, assuming that one remains in place for 10 to 15 minutes.
*larval: 유충, 애벌레
*penetrate: 관통하다, 침투하다
[4] During the same period a year ago, the mosquito activity index averaged 65.6.
"Unlike last year, it has rained a lot since early spring and the temperature has remained high, which has created the conditions for mosquitoes to live in puddles and other places early on," said Kim Dong-gun, an associate professor at Sahmyook University's Smith College, who is in charge of mosquito forecasting in Seoul.

* Mistreat: (사람·동물을) 학대[혹사]하다
[2] According to several reviews on Job Planet, an online recruitment and job search platform, Kang and his wife Susan Elder, who serves as the company executive, surveilled employees' work messages that were sent using an instant messaging app, used violent language, gaslighted employees, and asked them to run excessive errands on their days off.
* Serve: 지내다
* Surveil: 감시하다
* Violent language: 폭언
* Errand: 심부름, (다른 사람을 대신해서 해 주는) 일

* Quit: (직장·학교 등을) 그만두다

기사 요약: 입양에 대한 편견을 갖고 있는 사회에게 가족은 꼭 피로 맺어지지 않고 사랑으로 맺어진다는 메시지를 전한 입양가족들
[1] When Jeon Sung-shin, 45, was looking to expand her family without going through childbirth again, she met her then 50-day-old daughter at an orphan care center 11 years ago.
* Expand: 확장하다
* Go through: ~을 거쳐가다
* Childbirth: 출산
* Orphan: 고아
[2] Jeon fell in love with her at first sight and knew adoption would be a beautiful way to build her family. Growing up with the family, Jeon's youngest daughter is now in the sixth grade and is a promising tennis player.
* At first sight: 첫눈에
* Adoption: 입양
* Build: 짓다, 만들어 내다
* Promising: 유망한, 촉망되는
[3] But Jeon said rearing her hadn't always been easy, mainly because adoption still carries so much stigma, especially in a country where the "primacy of blood" had been of paramount importance under the Confucian ideology.
* Rearing: 양육
* Stigma: 낙인, 오명
* Paramount: 다른 무엇보다 가장 중요한, 최고의
* Ideology: 이념
[4] "Unlike Western countries, Koreans often tend to refer to somebody's birth mother when talking about who is really their family. But the biological parent has no custody over the child because all the rights are transferred to the adoptive parent," Jeon underscored.
* Tend to: ~하는 경향이 있다
* Biological parent: 생부모
* Custody: 양육권
* Transfer: 이전하다

[2] "Air operations are possible only when real-time communications, from transportation to operation to cabin maintenance, are smoothly organized and seamlessly prepared," said Korean Air President Woo Kee-hong during press conference held Thursday morning at the company's headquarters in Gimpo. "The public often regards 'service' as the core of airline operations, but more than 80 percent of Korean Air's 20,000 employees are involved in ‘safety’ related mission. This shows our high level of awareness and technological prowess in safe operations," Woo added.

'Gimflation’ in S. Korea as dried seaweed prices grow on rising global demand진행: 김혜연, Paul Kerry
기사 요약: '국민 반찬' 김 물가 상승에 더욱 커진 밥상 물가 부담
[1] Dried seaweed or gim, a staple dish nicknamed "rice thief" for its perfect pairing with rice, is seeing considerable popularity globally these days.
staple 주된, 주요한
pairing 한 쌍, 짝을 짓기
[2] In recent years, gim's deliciousness, coupled with its nutrient content and recognition as a food source beneficial to ocean ecosystems, has captivated taste buds worldwide, making its way into an unexpected array of dishes, served in salads, broths, casseroles, pizza and even occasionally sprinkled on ice cream.
beneficial 유익한, 이로운
captivate …의 마음을 사로잡다[매혹하다]
[3] Yet, despite the gim industry seeing a heyday here, ordinary people in Korea fear that the country’s humble, yet always satisfying trio on a table -- a bowl of white rice, kimchi and seasoned dried seaweed -- may one day no longer be considered a modest meal.
heyday 전성기, 한창때
modest 겸손한, 수수한
[4] In May, the average retail price of gim, in its most basic form roasted with no seasoning, is up over 80 percent from a year ago. Earlier this month, the Korean government lifted tariffs on imports of both dried and seasoned seaweed to stabilize local gim prices, effective until Sept. 30, after which the seaweed harvesting season begins.

harvesting 수확, 거둬들이기

Mystery deepens after hundreds of cat deaths in S. Korea
기사요약: 최근 고양이들이 신경질환 등 증상을 보이다 급사했다는 신고가 잇따랐지만 원인이 밝혀지지 않아 반려인들이 불안감을 호소하고 있다.

*dispute: 분쟁, 분규; 논란, 논쟁
*controversy: 논란
[2] According to local animal activist groups Life and Myoeon, a total of 513 cases of cats displaying similar symptoms -- acute neuromuscular diseases, high fever, elevated liver enzymes and kidney failure -- have been documented as of May 12. Of the affected animals, 181 have died.
*symptom: 증상

*felines: 고양이, 고양잇과 동물
*manufacturer: 제조자 [사]
[4] The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, however, found no correlation between the deaths and the suspected cat food in its investigation. It tested over 50 pet food samples currently available, including those suspected by cat owners, for 78 toxic substances, seven viruses and two types of parasites and germs.

Pandemic left Korea more depressed than before: report
기사 요약: 정부가 코로나 위기단계를 가장 낮은 수준인 '관심 단계'로 하향 조정한 가운데 우리나라 성인들이 팬데믹 시기 기점으로 크게 우울해졌다는 조사 결과 나와
[1] The South Korean government downgraded the COVID-19 crisis level to the lowest level on May 1, but a recent report indicates that the years of the pandemic have nonetheless left a lasting mark on people here in the form of depression.
-
indicate: 나타내다, 보여주다
-
lasting: 영속적인, 지속적인
[2] According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's report on depression in South Korea, 7.3 percent of the adult population experienced depression in 2023. The study was conducted on 230,000 adults across the country, and defined depression as "experiencing at least two weeks of severe depression that caused a hindrance to their daily lives."
- hindrance: 방해, 장애물
[3] The portion of those who have experienced depression had been trending downward before the COVID-19 outbreak to mark 5 percent in 2018, which was the lowest figure in the previous 10 years. The figure rebounded to 5.5 percent in 2019 and 5.7 percent in 2020, before jumping a full 1 percentage point to mark 6.7 percent in 2021, 6.8 percent in 2022 and then a 10-year high of 7.3 percent in 2023.

Debate rages over ‘overly fatty’ samgyeopsal
기사 요약: 온라인 떠들썩하게 한 '비계 삼겹살' 논란에 제주도 내 돼지고기 전문 식당 70여 곳을 대상으로 현장 조사를 나서고 농림축산식품부는 소포장 삼겹살에서 겉지방층 1cm 이하로 관리하라는 등의 '삼겹살 품질관리 매뉴얼' 제정돼
[1] As much as "samgyeopsal," the quintessential Korean pork belly cut, translates to three-layered meat, its deliciousness hinges on the perfect balance of fat and meat. This balance delivers a satisfyingly chewy texture bursting with juicy, meaty flavor.
-
quintessential: 전형적인, 가장 대표적인
-
hinge on: ~에 달려있다 (depend/ be contingent upon)
[2] In online forums in South Korea now, a heated debate is underway over just how much fat is too much in fat-rich samgyeopsal, as people share their experiences of being served cuts they deem “overly fatty” at restaurants.
-
be underway: 진행 중이다
-
deem: ~로 여기다, 생각하다
[3] The debate was sparked by an online post on the website Bobaedream last week. An anonymous user posted photos of sizzling Jeju black pig samgyeopsal at a Jeju Island restaurant. The poster claimed the cuts have a "98 percent fat content." For two servings of the fatty pork cuts and one bottle each of soju and beer, the bill was around 150,000 won ($109), the person claimed.
- spark: 불꽃, v) 촉발시키다, 유발하다
[4] The fatty samgyeopsal controversy prompted a response from Gov. Oh Young-hun of the island province of Jeju, renowned for its black pork cuts. At a press conference Thursday, he announced the provincial government's internal review to assess the necessity for stricter management of the livestock sector.
- prompt: 즉각적인, 지체 없는, v) 촉발하다

[KH Explains] No more 'Michael' at Kakao Games

Kicker: Amid major reform push at Kakao, game developer affiliate moves to stop using English names in office
*reform push 개혁 촉구
*affiliate 계열사
[1] Kakao Games has decided to scrap using English names among its employees, becoming the first Kakao affiliate to backtrack on the IT front-runner’s attempt to make a more bottom-up working environment with open communication.
*scrap 폐기하다, 버리다
*backtrack (의견 등을) 철회하다
[2] Kakao Games CEO Han Sang-woo, whose English name is Michael, announced the decision in a meeting with employees on April 17, noting that there had been confusion as its workers had to use English names inside the company but went by their Korean names for external communication.
*confusion 혼란, 혼동
*external 외부의
[3] Instead of using English names, Han said the employees will now add “nim” at the end of each other’s Korean name when addressing one another. Nim is an honorific suffix used in the Korean language to show respect. Compared to adding nim at the end of hierarchically ranked job titles, adding it to the end of employee names shows respect to individuals in an egalitarian manner.
*honorific 존경을 나타내는, 경칭의
*egalitarian 평등주의(자)의
[4] Kakao Games said the exact timing for the implementation of the new name system has not been determined yet, adding that the employees have already been using both English names and the nim suffix for Korean names.
*implementation 새 제도 이행, 시행
*suffix 접미사

[Herald Interview] Mistakes turn into blessings in street performance, director says
기사 요약: 2024 궁중문화축전 연출 일부를 맡은 송재성 감독이 인터뷰에서 공개한 올 해 프로그램의 재미
[1] Where to draw the line separating the audience from actors in a street performance is tricky for any director. Some are wary of seeing the script derailed by indulging too much into on-the-spot impromptu interaction with spectators.
*draw the line 한계를 정하다, 구분 짓다
*tricky 힘든 [까다로운], 교묘한
*indulging (특정한 욕구·관심 등을) 채우다, 충족시키다
[2] But not so for Song Jae-sung. The director oversees various shows scheduled at Gyeongbokgung this week as part of the annual Seoul festival promoting five palaces from the Joseon era (1392-1910). The nine-day K-Royal Culture Festival, now in its 10th year, kicked off Saturday, organized by the Cultural Heritage Administration.
*oversee 감독하다
*promote 촉진하다, 홍보하다
[3] The added weight of having to pull off the festival’s signature shows at the main palace Gyeongbokgung, crucial in shaping the event’s overall perception, did not seem to daunt Song. He had his reasons.
*pull off -을 소화하다
*crucial 중대한, 결정적인
*daunt 겁먹게[기죽게] 하다
[4] “One distinction I draw when it comes to stage and street performances is that for the street, the boundaries separating the spectators and actors are less clear. Something unexpected happens and we roll with it,” Song said in an interview with The Korea Herald last week. “There are no mistakes because mistakes are part of the show. And there’s the fun.”
*boundary 경계한계, 분계선
*spectator 관중, 방청객, 구경꾼

*woo: 구애하다
[2] “Despite the rising popularity of Korean content, some travel destinations have not been promoted properly due to their low accessibility and intellectual property rights.

Korea to cut no. of teachers amid diminishing student numbers
기사 요약: 출생에 따른 학령인구 감소가 본격화하면서 신규교사 채용 규모가 축소된 데 이어 '예비 교사'를 길러내는 교육대학교 정원까지 줄어들게 됐다.
[1] Amid administrative efforts to increase the annual enrollment quota for medical schools that sparked the mass walkout of doctors across the country, the government said it would reduce the number of school teachers going forward, citing a decline in student numbers.
*administrative: 관리(행정)상의
*enrollment: 입학; 등록
*walkout: 파업
[2] The enrollment quota for teachers' colleges, which has remained unchanged for 13 years, will be reduced by 12 percent, the Education Ministry said. The reduction plan comes amid rising concerns over the employment of teachers, as the number of graduates from teaching colleges exceeds the number of teaching places available at elementary schools.
*employment: 고용, 취업
*exceed: (특정한 수량을) 넘다
[3] The number of newly hired teachers this year declined by over 50 percent compared to 2014, but the enrollment quota for related universities has remained stable over the same period. The acceptance rate for the appointment of new teachers fell to 43.6 percent this year, down from 63.9 percent in 2018.
*related: (…에) 관련된
*acceptance: (제의 등을) 받아들임 [수락]
[4] This "appointment crisis" comes as more than 150 elementary schools across the nation had no new first graders enrolling this year. Some 369,000 children enrolled at elementary school this year, the lowest number of new first graders since the government started recording such statistics in 1970.

[Herald Review] ‘Parasyte: The Grey,’ run-of-the-mill monster horror series that lacks charm of original manga
기사 요약: 원작 만화의 매력을 담지 못한 호러물
[1] “Parasyte: The Grey,” the ambitiously re-imagined series by star director Yeon Sang-ho, is a run-of-the-mill monster horror show that fails to capture the charm and essence of the original manga.
* Ambitiously: 야심차게
* Run-of-the-mill: 지극히 평범한; 보통의
* Capture: 사로잡다
* Manga: 만화
[2] The series is set in the universe of the popular Japanese manga series “Parasyte,” but completely deviates from the original plot, to exclusively narrate the stories that unfold as the Parasytes invade South Korea.
* Universe: (특정한 유형의) 세계
* Deviate: (일상·예상 등을) 벗어나다
* Narrate: 이야기를 하다; 들려주다
* Unfold: (어떤 내용이 서서히) 펼쳐지다
[3] With the monsters, which have tentacles erupting from their heads, there was a risk of them appearing juvenile. Yet, thanks to advanced VFX techniques, the monster tentacles boast a realistic and terrifying appearance that is enough to convince and entertain young viewers and adult audiences alike.
* Erupting: 폭발하는
* Juvenile: 어린애 같은; 유치한
* Boast: 뽐내다; 자랑하다
* Entertain: 즐겁게 해 주다
[4] “Parasyte: The Grey” depicts how organizations, which were created for the coexistence of individuals, can clash with people -- leaving the audience to ponder about what coexistence truly entails.
* Depict: 묘사하다; 그리다
* Clash: 맞붙다
* Ponder: 곰곰이 생각하다
* Entail: 수반하다

No shirt, no shoes or dressed for mourning: Candidates' campaign gimmicks
기사 요약: 바디프로필, 댄스 챌린지, 혈서에 소복까지 이색 운동 이따르던 22대 총선 이모저모
[1] As South Koreans go to the polls to elect the 300 members of the National Assembly on Wednesday, political candidates have fully ramped up efforts to court voters.
*ramp up: ~을 늘리다, 증가시키다
*court: ~의 환심을 사려고 하다(cultivate), 얻으려 하다/ 법원
[2] Walking down practically any main street at the moment, one will easily spot rallies of candidates and supporters singing theme songs with politically tweaked lyrics and flamboyant dance routines.
*flamboyant: 이색적인, 현란한 (lively, energetic, elaborate, vibrant)
[3] Others have taken more unconventional turns in the outreach. One candidate was seen barefoot greeting visitors at the red clay road in Gumi-dong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, washing the feet of citizens, while others walked the streets and lowered themselves in a bow every three steps, undertaking a Buddhist practice to show determination.
*undertake: 착수하다, 약속하다
[4] Among the more peculiar election crusades, one stripped down to seize the attention of voters. Main opposition Democratic Party of Korea Rep. Kim Byung-wook, who is running for the Bundang-B constituency in Seongnam, shared a picture of himself shirtless, posing for a "body profile."
*peculiar: 이상한, 특이한, 독특한 (distinct, bizarre, odd)
*crusade: 운동, 운동을 벌이다

Assembly race heats up as early voters turn out in historic numbers
기사 요약: 22대 총선 사전투표의 최종 투표율이 31.28%로 집계되면서 역대 '최다' 사전 투표율 기록

[2] According to the National Election Commission, the early voter turnout rate was 31.2 percent -- the highest since early voting was introduced in 2016.

[3] The Democratic Party said the high early turnout was “reflective of the South Korean public's desire to punish the Yoon (Suk Yeol) administration at the earliest possible date.” “The people have demonstrated their sovereign power by voting,” Rep. Kang Sun-woo, the party spokesperson, said in a statement.
*sovereign: 자주적인, 독립적인(autonomous) / 최고 권력을 지닌 (n. 군주, 국왕)
[4] The Rebuilding Korea Party, a new third party composed of Democratic Party-affiliated figures, said the people “have responded with a fervent will to strike back at those who try to rule over the people.” The party, founded and headed by the legally embattled former Justice Minister Cho Kuk, was publicly endorsed by previous President Moon Jae-in.
*affiliate: (더 큰 회사, 기관 등과) 제휴, 연계하다/ 가입하다
*fervent: 열렬한, 강렬한 (impassioned, passionate. vehement, intense)
*embattled: 궁지에 몰린, 공세에 시달리는 / 교전 중인, 포위당한 embattle: 진을 치다, 전투 태세를 갖추다

Han So-hee, Ryu Joon-yeol part ways 2 weeks after going public with relationship

[1] South Korean actors Han So-hee and Ryu Joon-yeol have decided to “go their own ways” after two tumultuous weeks surrounding the stars’ admissions of dating and accusations of impropriety in Ryu dating Han so soon after his breakup from his longtime partner, singer and actor Hyeri.

* Tumultuous: 떠들썩한; 격동의
* Admissions: (특히 범행·잘못 등에 대한) 시인
* Impropriety: 부적절한; 부도덕한 행동
[2] Ryu and Han’s breakup surfaced Saturday night when Han uploaded a 2001 photo of Nicole Kidman that had been taken by paparazzi as she walked out of the court following her divorce from Tom Cruise. The photo has popularly been used to express feelings of freedom and liberation after ending a relationship.
* Surfaced: 수면 위로 드러나다
* Following: (시간상으로) 그 다음의
* Express: (감정·의견 등을) 나타내다, 표현하다
* Liberation: 해방

* End: 끝내다
* Lovebirds: 연인
* Spotted: 포착되다
[4] As accusations grew around Ryu and Han, Han stepped in to actively defend herself and Ryu, saying in a social media post that she’s “not a person who likes someone with a girlfriend, or allows him to like (her) while being a ‘friend,’ or becomes interested and gives meaning to a relationship with someone with a girlfriend.”
* Accusation: 비난
* Step in: 개입하다
* Defend: 옹호하다
* Give meaning to: 의미부여하다

[Weekender] A new equation in sharing costs of marriage
기사 요약: 결혼에 드는 비용을 반씩 부담하는 ‘반반 결혼’ 택하는 사람들 늘어나
[1] Newlyweds, single men and single women interviewed by The Korea Herald generally envisioned an equal partnership founded on equal contributions -- be it financially, in terms of their roles, or both. Yet, in reality, men still pay more to cover the costs of marriage. Women say they are willing to contribute more, but are often limited by practical reasons, such as modest savings.
-
Newlywed: 신혼부부
-
Envision: (특히 앞으로 바라는 일을) 마음속에 그리다; 상상하다
-
Found on: ~에 기초하여 설립하다
-
Cover: 가리다; 부담하다
[2] Who pays what for a marriage can be influenced by a complex interplay of factors, involving not only the two individuals tying the knot, their relationship dynamics and respective financial situations, but also the expectations and contributions of each of their families.
-
Interplay: 상호작용
-
Tie the knot: 결혼하다; 매듭짓다
-
Expectation: 기대; 요구
-
Contribution: 기여; 이바지
[3] But Kang Kyung-seok, 34, who got married last year, could assert one thing clearly: the part of the marriage tradition that assigns the responsibility for providing a home to the groom only is obsolete for his generation.
-
Assert: 주장하다
-
Assign: 맡기다; 배정하다
-
Groom: 신랑
-
Obsolete: 구식의
[4] Nowadays, young people often discuss the concept of a “half-and-half marriage,” meaning equal financial contributions from the two, although he rarely saw couples doing so in reality.
-
Nowadays: 요즘에는
-
Discuss: 상의하다; 논의하다
-
Rarely: 드물게

Recent: 최근의

Move out: (살던 집에서) 이사를 나가다
[2] Finances were a major factor, as 32 percent said the “cost of housing is too high,” while 23 percent said, “I’m concerned about the cost of living.” Some 26 percent said that they choose to do so because their “commute is convenient from (their) parents’ home.”
-
Finances: 돈, 금전
-
Concerned: 걱정하는
-
Cost of living: 생활비
-
Convenient: 편리한; 간편한
[3] Most of the respondents were not complete freeloaders, as 69 percent said they contribute some money to household expenses. Some 35 percent said they give between 300,000 won ($230) to 500,000 won per month to their parents, 26 percent give under 300,000 won, while 8 percent give their parents more than 500,000 won.
-
Freeloader: 남에게 얻어먹기만 하는 사람
-
Contribute: 기여하다
-
Expense: 돈; 비용
[4] With rising housing costs, an increasing number of South Koreans have been continuing to live with their parents well into adulthood. They have been dubbed "kangaroos" by local scholars and media, for being adults who are dependent on their parents even though they are old enough to live on their own, drawing a comparison to the image of mother kangaroos who raise their young inside their pouches.

*squad: 선수단
*scuffle: 실랑이, 옥신각신함
[2] The interim coach for the team acknowledged the public's concern over Lee, and said addressing the issue could provide a chance to strengthen team chemistry.

*qualify: 자격[자격증]을 얻다[취득하다]

*ripple: 잔물결을 이루다, 파문처럼 번지다
*dim: (빛의 밝기가[를]) 낮아지다[낮추다], 어둑해지다[어둑하게 하다]

*reminiscent: 연상시키는
*spore: 홀씨
[3] When she landed on the stage to perform “Holssi,” meaning spore in Korean, the lights shone on the stage and spread outwards like petals, transforming like a blooming flower.

Fake news on soccer star generated W700m: report
기사 요약: 축구선수 이강인 관련 가짜 뉴스 영상이 유튜브에서 7천만 조회수를 기록하며 7억원 정도의 수익 발생됐다는 인공지능 기업의 보고서
[1] YouTube videos carrying fake news about controversy-ridden soccer star Lee Kang-in are thought to have generated up to 700 million won ($523,000) in profit in the two weeks after his alleged altercation with Son Heung-min became public, a report by an advertising consulting firm claimed Sunday.
*-ridden: ~에 시달리는
*alleged: 추정된, 제기된

[2] Lee, a 23-year-old player for Paris Saint-Germain, was subject to nationwide criticism when it was reported that he had allegedly fought with the South Korean national men's soccer team captain Son Heung-min during the Asian Cup 2023.
*be subject to ~: ~의 대상이다
[3] Public disdain for Lee receded when Lee said on Feb. 22 that he had apologized to Son in person in London, and the Tottenham Hotspur star asked the public to forgive his younger teammate from the national squad.
*disdain: 업신여김, 경멸
*recede: 물러나다, 희미해지다
[4] But over the two weeks since the quarrel went public last month, 361 videos carrying completely false information about Lee have been uploaded on YouTube, garnering a total of 69.4 million views on the online video-sharing platform, according to an estimate by Pyler, an AI-based digital advertising solutions company, which analyzed the videos uploaded Feb. 14-27.
*quarrel: 다툼
*garner: 얻다, 모으다

Marriages in Korea fall by 40% within a decade
기사 요약: 2013년 32만 이었던 혼인 건수가 작년 19만으로 10년새 40% 감소
[1] In another piece of grim news underscoring South Korea's looming demographic crisis, the number of marriages in 2023 fell by 40 percent compared to the level recorded a decade ago, government statistics revealed Sunday.
*grim: 암울한, 음침한
*underscore: 강조하다
*looming: (주로 무섭거나 위협적이게) 다가오는, 보이기 시작하는
*demographic: 인구통계학
[2] According to Statistics Korea, an estimated 193,673 couples tied the knot last year, a drop of 40 percent compared to the 322,807 couples who got married in 2013.
*tie the knot: 결혼을 하다
[3] From a year ago, however, the 2023 figure marks a 1 percent increase, or 1,983 more marriages. In 2022, marriages plummeted to a record low of 191,690. The decline in the number of marriages has persisted for 11 years, from 2012 to 2022.
*plummet: 곤두박질치다, 급락하다
*persist: (집요하게) 계속하다

Death & denial: Why Koreans refuse to contemplate the end기사 요약: '죽음'에 대해 이야기 하기를 꺼려하고 죽음에 대해 슬퍼하고 부정적인 인식이 유독 큰 한국인, 그 이유는?
[1] A few years ago, Kim Sun-yong (not her real name) stumbled upon a Facebook post written by an acquaintance from work. The author, an American who was battling late-stage cancer with no prospects of recovery, asked his Facebook friends for suggestions on what to include on his bucket list as he braced for the inevitable.
*stumble upon: 우연히 만나다/ 발견다하 stumble upon/across/on
*inevitable: 불가피한, 필연적인, 반드시 있는
[2] Most comments expressed their sadness about the man's impending death and offered suggestions as asked. But one comment written by a person with a Korean name responded, “Please don’t say that. You won’t die.” There, in the acceptance of a friend's mortality, Kim sensed a significant cultural clash.
*impend: 금방이라도 일어나려고 하다, (위험 등이) 임박하다, 머리 위에 드리워지다/ 곧 닥칠, 임박한 (=imminent)
[3] It is quite common for Koreans to deny the imminence of death, even for patients in their final stages, encouraging them to hold on to hopes for recovery. Even when doctors say there’s no hope, miracles are cited as a reason to keep hoping.
*imminence: 절박, 촉박
*hold on to: ~에 매달리다, 의지하다
[4] Many fear that bringing up the topic of death might give the impression that they are giving up on the person who is fighting to live, or may dampen the person’s courage to fight. Jung Hyun-chae, an honorary professor of internal medicine at Seoul National University, says that although fear of mortality is universal, Koreans collectively have a particularly strong aversion to accepting death and openly discussing it.
*dampen: 기세를 꺾다/ 풀이 죽게 하다, 물에 적시다
*aversion: 혐오감

Walkouts of medical staff have continued for seven consecutive days leading to major general hospitals in Seoul having reduced planned surgeries by up to 50 percent, sparking a serious health crisis in the country.
*stay off: 출석하지 않고 있다to not go/ 삼가다, 멀리하다 to avoid
*spark: v.유발하다, 촉발시키다, n.불꽃
[4] "Facing up to the seriousness of the current situation, I appeal (to you all) for the last time ... (the government) won't hold you accountable for the past if you return to the hospitals you left by Thursday," Lee said.
*appeal: v.호소하다, 상고하다, 관심을 끌다 n.매력

Where does Korea stand on assisted death?
기사 요약: 스위스 조력사망 단체들에 가입한 한국인 수는 약 300명, 헌법이 명시한 인간의 존엄과 가치에 대한 국가의 의식 수준은?
Kicker: Myelitis patient, seeking a dignified exit from pain, challenges local laws criminalizing assisted suicide
[1] While South Korea criminalizes any form of assisted dying, at least 204 South Koreans, as of April 2023, have obtained membership for assisted dying facilities in Switzerland; Dignitas had 136 Korean members, Exit International had 55 and Lifecircle had 13, according to a report from local newspaper Seoul Shinmun. At least 10 Koreans so far have made the final journey to Switzerland to die at such clinics, the report said.

[2] Kim Young-in, who has been living with complex regional pain syndrome since 2013, joined Dignitas in 2020. “Securing Dignitas's approval (for the assisted dying process) brought me peace,” he said. “What I feared was not death, but the endless pain. Knowing I have the option to end this pain, even as soon as tomorrow, grants me the ability to live today in peace."

Korea sees surge in number of asylum seekers from Russia
기사 요약: 지난해 5천 7백 여명의 러시아인이 한국 정부에 난민 신청, 2022년 비해 5배 늘어난 이유는?
[1] South Korea saw a significant rise in the number of Russian asylum seekers last year, with over 5,000 submitting refugee applications, a government report found Monday.
*asylum: 망명
[2] According to the latest monthly report by the Korea Immigration Service under the Ministry of Justice, the number of Russian nationals who sought refugee status in Korea last year stood at 5,750, a five-fold increase from the number of asylum applications by Russian nationals in 2022, which stood at 1,038. The number is also almost equivalent to the total number of Russian asylum seekers over 26 years between 1994 and 2019.
*refugee: 난민, 망명자

*account for: (부분, 비율을) 차지하다/ 설명하다

*conscription: 징병제 (call up, draft)

Why ramyeon makers still stick with 'ramen' marketing
기사 요약: 라면과 라멘의 분명한 차이에도 한국 라면 회사들이 해외 출시시 ‘라멘’을 고집하는 이유는?
[1] Amid soaring exports of Korean instant noodles in recent years, a renewed spotlight has been cast on a decadeslong dilemma among local food companies -- whether or not the word "ramen" should be ditched from their marketing strategy.
*cast light on: 새로운 정보를 주다, 보여주다
*ditch: 버리다/ 배수로
[2] Ramen, rooted in Japanese culinary tradition, has become a household name globally that refers to noodles in broth. The term "ramen" can also refer to instant noodle products.
*culinary: 요리의, 음식의
*broth: 국물, 수프
[3] Amid a growing global presence, Korean businesses have long used the term in overseas markets, introducing their own instant products as "Korean ramen,” instead of as “ramyeon,” the Korean variation of the word.
*amid: ~가운데, ~중에
[4]Using the Japanese word is viewed as taboo in Korea, akin to referring to kimchi as "kimuchi," the Japanese phonetic interpretation of the word.
*taboo: 금기, 금기시 되는 것
*akin to: ~와 유사한
*phonetic: 발음을 나타내는, 표음식의

From then on, the actor disappeared from public view, except when he was made to appear in front of the media each of the three times he underwent a police interrogation.

기사 요약: 고물가 시대 속 MZ들의 새로운 돈관리 법 "현금 챌린지" 유행

More strollers sold for furry companions than infants
기사 요약: 초저출산 효과일까? 반려동물용 유모차가 유아용 유모차 판매 비율 6: 4로 앞질러
[1] In perhaps yet another sign of the country's declining number of births, South Korea’s largest online marketplace reported Monday that sales of pet strollers exceeded those of baby strollers for the first time this year.
-
declining: 감소하는
-
stroller: 유모차
[2] According to Gmarket, of the total strollers sold on the platform during the first three quarters of this year, those for pet animals accounted for 57 percent, while those for babies constituted the remaining 43 percent.
-
account for: 차지하다
-
constitute: -을 구성하다 (make up), -가 되는 것으로 여겨지다
[3] This situation marks a notable change from previous years, where pet carriages made up 33 percent of total sales in 2021 and 36 percent last year. Baby carriages previously had a larger share in both years: 67 percent in 2021 and 64 percent last year.
- notable: 주목할 만한, 눈에 띄는
[4] A Gmarket official noted the continuous trends of increased purchases of pet-related items alongside declining sales of baby-related products. But the rather significant shifts in market share observed this year warrant further study in order to understand the underlying causes, the official added. South Korea is witnessing a growing trend of families choosing to adopt and spend money on pets, a development that contrasts with the country's declining birth rate and the falling number of babies born here.

1. Choosing children over career: Fatherhood changing in modern Korea
기사 요약: 커리어 대신 양육을 우선시하는 한국 아빠들의 바뀐 모습
[1] A 37-year-old executive at a tech startup in Seoul surnamed Choi made what seemed a bold decision after welcoming the birth of his first child two years ago: he took three months of paternity leave.
*paternity leave: 남자의 출산 휴가 (maternity leave)
[2] Even though it was only for three months, choosing to prioritize his child over his career during that time was daunting for him, but Choi didn’t want to pass down the empty feeling he recalled from his own childhood to his newborn son. Growing up as a latchkey kid whose parents worked full-time, Choi had struggled when he was little staying home alone.
*daunting: 벅찬, 주눅이 드는 (intimidating, unnerving)
*latchkey kid: 맞벌이 부부 자녀
[3] “The stigma persists that men are ‘less nurturing’ and ‘less domestically adept’ than women. But social norms are changing, so we should too,” Choi said.
*adept: 능숙한 (inclined)
[4] In Korea, which has historically followed Confucian principles dividing labor in the family by gender, men were expected to work outside the home as the breadwinners, while women were expected to do all of the housework and child rearing. But fathers like Choi are becoming increasingly common.
*breadwinner: 생계를 책임지는 사람, 가장
*child-rearing: 양육
- Baekyangsa's Buddhist cuisine templestay teaches what it means to eat beyond taste
기사요약: 맛 이상의 경험을 제공함으로써 음식에 대해 고찰해 보는 시간을 갖게 하는 백양사 템플스테이
[1]The trees surrounding Baekyangsa, a temple in Jangseong County in South Jeolla Province, boasted their crimson and yellow leaves on a quiet Friday in November. The temple, about a four-hour drive from Seoul, offers an escape from high-rise buildings, city pollution, and the noises and stress of our daily lives.*boast: 자랑하다, 뽐내다 showed off
[2] This solitude and the opportunity to empty one's mind are probably among the main reasons many people embark on templestays offered at traditional temples around the country. Baekyangsa offers a templestay experience that is specialized in temple cuisine.
*solitude: 혼자 있는 상태, 고독 (isolation/loneliness/seclusion)
*embark on: ~에 착수하다, 시작하다
[3] Mealtimes are quiet because they are considered a time to contemplate on oneself and appreciate the food, as well as the efforts that went into producing and preparing the meal. Even through this small change, people who are often overwhelmed with vast food choices and feel no guilt about leaving leftovers might get a fresh perspective on the act of eating.
*contemplate on: 고찰하다, 명상하다
[4] At Baekyangsa, participants can delve deeper into how Buddhism deals with one of the most crucial aspects of human existence and learn how food is a spiritual activity beyond the mere act of eating.
*delve into: ~을 철저하게 조사하다, 알아보다

*exclude: 제외하다
*excessively: 지나치게
*material: 재료
[3] The change came following the President Yoon Suk Yeol's comments that such questions might create an excessive dependence on private education.
*dependence: 의존
[4] Meanwhile, the total number of applicants for the test decreased this year, while the percentage of retakers has reached its highest level in 28 years.

*A-time B-topper: B를 A번 우승한
*grand: 웅장한

*landmark: 역사적인, 기록적인, 획기적인

[1] South Korea and Thailand are to jointly address the growing number of undocumented residents of Thai nationality here in response to complaints of some regular Thai travelers being denied entry to Korea.
- undocumented residents 미등록 거주자들
[2] Seoul's Foreign Ministry said in a statement Saturday that First Vice Minister Chang Ho-jin proposed holding a bilateral consular strategic meeting with Thailand to discuss "issues related to Thais' visa status in and entry into Korea," without elaborating on the timeframe.
-
consular 영사(관)
-

[3] The proposal came during Chang's annual meeting with Thailand's Permanent Secretary of Foreign Affairs Sarun Charoensuwan in Bangkok, Thailand, Friday. Chang was quoted as saying by the Thai local media that Seoul had already introduced measures to tackle a surge in the number of Thais living in South Korea illegally, including granting amnesty to illegal workers if they leave voluntarily. He added that the country currently has an annual quota for 4,800 Thai laborers to come to work in Korea.

기사 요약: 보스턴 미술관 고려시대 사리구 반환협상, 2009년 결렬된 후 올해 재개 조짐
[1] Discussions on the return to Korea of the silver-gilt Lamaistic pagoda-shaped sarira reliquary dating back to the 13th century in the Goryeo era, which is currently on exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, are set to resume, 10 years after the previous talks fell through.

[2] Hyemun, a former Buddhist monk and the leader of a non-profit civic group dedicated to repatriating cultural heritage, emphasized the need to restart discussions and focus on bringing the sarira back to Korea, in a phone interview with The Korea Herald on Tuesday. "Because of the (Cultural Heritage Administration's) refusal in 2009, we have to start talks again from zero, and ask for the sarira to be returned, which could have been done earlier," Hyemun said.

[4] Efforts to repatriate the artifact began in 2003, according to the Cultural Heritage Administration. In 2009, the museum inquired as to whether South Korea would accept only the sarira without the reliquary. The CHA responded that it would not consider receiving the sarira separately, as the reliquary and the sarira together hold cultural significance. Meanwhile, the CHA told The Korea Herald on Tuesday that talks resumed in late April, after a visit by South Korean first lady Kim Keon Hee to the museum.

*summon: 소환하다, 호출하다, 소집하다
[2] According to the reports, police are also considering a warrant to take a hair sample from the 48-year-old for drug testing in case he refuses to comply. The police probe is still at an internal stage, a precursor to a formal criminal investigation, and is assessing whether to follow up on allegations of his involvement in illegal drug use this year.
*warrant: 영장
*comply: 따르다
*precursor: 선도자
[3] Lee is reported to have used unspecified illicit substances at escort bars and residential areas in southern Seoul’s Gangnam area on several occasions this year, according to reports.
*unspecified: 명시되지 않은
*illicit: 불법의, 사회의 통념에 어긋나는
[4] Lee is one of eight people subject to the investigation.

1. Seoul to add more public trash cans by 2025
기사 요약: 길거리의 쓰레기통이 부족하다는 불만이 지속적으로 제기되자 서울시에선 2,500여 가량의 쓰레기통 추가 설치 계획을 발표.
[1] The city of Seoul said Thursday that it will add over 2,500 new trash bins on the streets by 2025. The difficulty in disposing of trash in public spaces has been among the most common complaints from foreign visitors to the capital, as well as residents. Across Seoul, a city of some 10 million residents, there are currently fewer than 5,000 trash cans.
*dispose: -of somebody/something 없애다, 처리하다 (throw away/throw out/dump)
[2] Public trash cans disappeared en masse from the streets of Seoul and elsewhere across the country following the 1995 introduction of a pay-as-you-throw-away system, in which individuals are required to purchase standard garbage bags for the disposal of household waste. This led to a reduction in the number of public trash cans on the streets, discouraging people from using them to avoid paying the price of their waste.
*en masse: 집단으로
[3] But a 2021 survey conducted by the city government revealed that over 70 percent of respondents perceived Seoul as having a shortage of accessible street trash cans. City officials said the planned installation of new trash bins will target areas with high foot traffic, such as Gwanghwamun Gate and Yeouido, as well as around bus stops where trash tends to overflow due to restrictions on bringing beverages onto the buses.
*high foot traffic: 유동 인구 규모
*overflow: 넘치다, 넘침/ (overspill, pile up)

2. Seoul subway workers vote for strike plan
기사 요약: 서울 교통공사노동조합이 합법적으로 파업 등 쟁의 행위를 할 수 있는 쟁의권을 확보하면서 서울 지하철 파업의 현실화 예고
[1] The possibility of a strike became reality, as a majority of Seoul Metro union members voted for a strike plan to counter staff cuts, the collective negotiation team announced Monday. As Seoul Metro operates Seoul Subway Line Nos. 1 to 8 and a portion of Line No. 9, tensions are rising over the possible inconvenience to commuters.
*counter: 대응하다 (respond to, potest/oppose/hit back at)
[2] The collective negotiation team -- comprising representatives of the Korean Public Service and Transport Workers’ Union under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Korean Public Trade Unions under the Federation of Korean Trade Unions – said that 73.4 percent of the workers approved the strike plan. The vote took place from Thursday to Monday.
*approve: 찬성하다, 승인하다 (agreed to/supported/endorsed)
*take place:발생하다 (happen/occur)
[3] Seoul Metro and the collective negotiation team had conducted 10 rounds of negotiations since the initial round on July 11, but all discussions eventually collapsed. The negotiation team applied for mediation with the Seoul National Labor Relations Commission on Oct. 4. The commission is to hold a mediation meeting Tuesday and suggest a compromise for both parties.
*collapse: 붕괴되다, 무너지다/ 쓰러지다
*mediation:조정, 중재

*underscore: underline/ 강조하다, 명확히 보여주다
*polarization: 양극화

- Tell the truth: Advanced drug education needed to curb teen exposure, experts say
기사 요약: 단순한 교육 영상물로는 더 이상 10대들의 마약 노출 위험을 방지할 수 없다는 전문가들의 조언
[1] Drug prevention education has long been thought of as a criminal issue in South Korea, but an increase in teenage drug offenders has led to wider calls for enhanced drug education.
*prevention: 예방, 방지
*offender: 범죄자
*enhanced: 향상된
[2] As concerns grow over adolescents’ shallow awareness of drugs due to a lack of education, politicians on both sides of the aisle are also demanding more thorough drug abuse prevention.
*adolescent: 청소년
*shallow: 얕은
*thorough: 철저한, 빈틈없는
[3] In November last year, Rep. Lee Tae-kyu of the ruling People Power Party proposed a bill that would make drug prevention programs a mandatory part of the curriculum in schools nationwide, stressing that adequate education is crucial to preventing children’s exposure to drugs.
*mandatory: 의무적인
*adequate: 적절한, 충분한
*exposure: 노출
[4] In the same period, Rep. Seo Dong-yong from the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea also urged educating teenagers about the dangers of drugs, pointing to the lack of warning and education for the soaring number of young drug offenders.
*urge: 강력히 권고하다
*soaring: 급상승하는, 날아오르는

*disband: 해체하다
[2] Rumors have been swirling as K-pop's biggest girl group and its agency, YG Entertainment, remain silent on the future, despite their seven-year contract having apparently reached the end of its term in August.
*swirl: 소용돌이치다
*apparently: 명백히
[3] On Tuesday, it was reported Jennie and Jisoo had established their own independent labels, though YG Entertainment denied to confirm the reports.

[4] "Nothing has been settled regarding Blackpink's contract renewal or future activity," was YG's latest update on the issue released Wednesday, a reiteration of what it has been repeating over the past few months.
*renewal: 부활, 갱신
*reiteration: 반복

1. 2m Koreans opt out of life-extending treatments
요약: 임종 과정 중 무의미한 연명의료를 받지 않겠다는 사전연명의료의향서 서약자가 내달 200만명을 넘어설 것으로 예상된다.
[1] Nearly two million individuals in Korea have formally declined life-extending medical interventions, choosing instead to prioritize their right to die with dignity when suffering from a terminal condition, data showed Sunday.
*life-extension 연명, 생명 연장
*dignity 위엄, 존엄
*terminal 말기의, 불치의
[2] Data from the National Agency for Management of Life-Sustaining Treatment reveals that as of the end of August, 1,941,231 people have filed an advance health care directive to abstain from life-saving medical assistance since the system's inception in February 2018.
*directive 의향서, 지시, 훈시
*abstain from …을 삼가다[그만두다]
[3] Judging from the current monthly growth rate, the number is projected to exceed two million in October. Five and half years have passed since the so-called "Death with Dignity Act" came into effect in Korea in February 2018. The act enabled people to refuse life-prolonging medical treatment.
*so-called 소위, 이른바
*enable …을 할 수 있게 하다
[4] Any adult over the age of 19 can register for the advance medical directive detailing treatment plans in the case of terminal illness, which they can also withdraw from at any time. Currently, four types of treatment -- cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of artificial respiration, hemodialysis and administration of anti-cancer drugs -- are categorized as life-extension care by the government.
*respiration 호흡
*anti-cancer drug 항암제

2. Govt. to survey spending on private education of preschoolers, Suneung retakers
요약: 교육부는 영유아 및 n수생의 사교육비 절감 대책과 공교육 내실화 방안을 마련하기 위해 이들의 사교육 실패 타악에 내년부터 나설 계획이라 발표했다.
[1] South Korea's official data on parental spending for their children's education has long faced criticism for overlooking two significant aspects: expenditures prior to the commencement of public education and those occurring after its completion.
*overlook 못 보고 넘어가다, 간과하다
*expenditure 지출; 비용, 경비
[2] To address these concerns and better assess the financial burden on parents, the Ministry of Education plans to look into the cost of “private education” of preschool children and high school graduates who are studying to retake the national college entrance exam, known as the Suneung.
*address 전달하다, 연설하다
*burden 부담, 짐
*retake 다시 치르다, 재시험
[3] Private education in Korea refers to all forms of learning outside of the formal state curriculum. The ministry said it will survey some 15,000 parents next year on how much they spend for their preschool children’s education outside of the regular Korean-language kindergartens that follow the state curriculum.
*refer to …에 돌리다, 회부하다, 언급[지칭]하다

1. What drove Korea's once-revered teachers to despair?
요약: 논란이 계속 되고 있는 교사들의 교권 침해, 무엇이 한 때 존경 받던 선생님들을 절망으로 몰아 넣었나
[1] For Kim, a retired teacher in her late 60s, teaching was one of the greatest gifts of her life. Recalling students’ laughter and small parties in classrooms celebrating Teachers’ Day every year, she was a teacher who was revered and appreciated by both students and parents.
*despair: 절망/ 체념하다
*revere: 숭배하다, 존경하다 (respect, admire, think highly of)
[2] However, when Kim visited a memorial altar for a Seoul elementary school teacher who took her own life on Sept. 4, she lamented at how different schools have become and how the teaching profession -- widely revered in South Korea for many previous generations -- has fallen into disarray.
*lament: v. 애통/한탄하다 n. 애도 (mourn, grieve, weep for, bemoan, bewail)
*disarray:혼란, 혼돈 (disorder, confusion, mess, chaos; by the wayside)
[3] The recent back-to-back deaths of teachers by apparent suicides have laid bare the dark reality of schools, where educators are not only losing respect from students and parents, but also control of their classrooms. Including the 23-year-old teacher at Seoi Elementary School in Seoul, three others -- in Daejeon; Gunsan, North Jeolla Province; and Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province -- took their lives in last two months, sending shock waves through the education community.
*back-to-back: 꼬리를 물고, 연이어 / 서로 등을 맞대고
*lay bare: 발가벗기다, 드러내다 (reveal, disclose, divulge, show, expose)
[4] The deceased teachers had all grappled with high volumes of work and students bringing challenging behavior to classrooms that led to severe stress, according to reports. They were also heavily pressured by aggressive parents who complained about everyday classroom matters, along with parents’ threats of reporting them for child abuse.
*grapple with: ~을 해결하려고 노력하다
*abuse: 남용, 오용 (=misuse) /학대

2. Lee Jae-myung and the politics of fasting
기사 요약: 특정 메시지를 전달, 혹은 결정을 이끌어내기 위한 목적으로 거행되는 '정치인의 단식' 속 역사와 의미는 무엇일까? 야당 대표 이재명의 단식 투재을 통해 본 한국 속 '단식 정치학'
[1] South Korea’s main opposition leader Rep. Lee Jae-myung has been on an indefinite hunger strike, having consumed nothing other than salt and fluids for 18 days straight.
*indefinite:무기한의 /분명히 규정되지 않은 (=imprecise)
[2] The chair of the Democratic Party of Korea says he is forgoing food to protest the way President Yoon Suk Yeol is running the country, which he has characterized using two keywords -- “tyranny” and “incompetence.” He insists he would not give up unless his demands are met, one of which is that Yoon replace his entire Cabinet to hold ministers accountable for the “failures” of the president’s first year in office.
*forgo: 포기하다
*tyranny: 압제, 폭압/ 독재 정치, 국가 (=dictatorship, despotism, absolutism)
*incompetence: 무능 (ineptitude, inability, incapacity)
[3] Lee follows in the footsteps of major Korean politicians who staged hunger strikes for varying causes, most notably those dating back to the country’s transition from dictatorship to democracy in the 1980s. Two former presidents, Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung, as opposition politicians famously went on fasts lasting 22 days and 13 days, respectively, to oppose the dictatorial governments then in power.
*stage: 무대를 올리다, 어떠한 일을 벌이다 (put on, present, produce)
*dictatorial: 독재자의, 군림하는 (autocratic, undemocratic, totalitarian, authoritarian)
[4] While politicians choosing to fast to make their point is not a rare sight in Korea, questions are being raised in some circles about the motives behind this particular hunger strike, as the opposition leader happens to be one of the most legally embattled members of the National Assembly at the moment.
*embattled: 궁지에 몰린, 공세에 시달리는

1. S. Korea to work closely with Morocco for support over devastating quake
기사 요약: 정부가 강진으로 대규모 피해를 본 모로코에 필요한 지원 제공하기 위해 긴밀히 협조하겠다고 밝혔다.
[1] South Korea's foreign ministry said Sunday it will closely cooperate with Morocco and the international community to provide necessary support for the North African country over a massive earthquake.
*cooperate: 협력하다
*international community: 국제사회
*massive: 거대한
[2] Late Friday, the 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco and killed more than 2,000 people, according to foreign media reports.
*magnitude: 지진 규모
[3] The ministry issued a statement and expressed condolences to the people of Morocco affected by the earthquake.
*issue: 발표하다
*condolence: 애도, 조의
[4] It vowed to have close consultations with the government of Morocco, as well as the international community, to help the country overcome difficulties.

2. Why everyone wants a white coat in Korea
기사 요약: 의대 쏠림 현상을 분석하고 대책의 중요성을 살펴본다.
[1] Last week, the college entrance exam academy Jongno Hagwon released its analysis of the state’s official education data that showed 2,131 students in the past five years have dropped out of Seoul National University, Korea University and Yonsei University, the top three most prestigious tertiary education institutes in South Korea.
*drop out: 탈퇴하다, 퇴거하다
*prestigious: 명망 있는, 일류의
*tertiary: 고등교육기관
[2] According to other data compiled by SNU and released in May, 6.2 percent of the school’s 3,606 freshmen this year took a leave of absence immediately after enrolling.
*compile: 엮다, 편집하다
*enroll: 입학시키다, 등록하다
[3] Private education experts believe that such a phenomenon is caused by students who, after being accepted at top universities, prepare to take the college entrance exam again.
*private education: 사교육
*phenomenon: 현상
[4] “A leave of absence right after entering SNU, the top Korean school, appears to be an attempt to get admitted to colleges of medicine, dentistry, or oriental medicine, which require higher grades,” said Lee Man-ki of the Uway Educational Assessment Research Institute.
*attempt: 시도
*get admitted to: 입소하다

- Surveillance cameras in operating rooms to be mandatory from this month
기사 요약: 의료계 반발에 불구하고 수술실 CCTV 설치 의무화 됐다
[1] Hospitals will be required to install cameras in operating rooms and to video-record surgical procedures upon the request of patients or guardians from later this month, despite adamant opposition from doctors.

-
Surgical: 외과의, 수술의
-
Surgical procedure: 수술 절차
-
Upon the request of: ~의 요청으로
-

-
Mandates: 명령하다, 지시하다
-
Malpractice: (의사의) 의료 과실[사고]
-
Safeguard: 보호하다
-

[3] Surgeons cannot refuse to be recorded unless there is a valid reason, such as an urgent surgical need. The government is responsible for covering the costs of installing the cameras.
-
Refuse: (요청·부탁 등을) 거절, 거부하다
-
Valid: (논리적으로) 타당한, 근거 있는
-
Responsible for: ~에 책임이 있는, 원인이 있는

1. Tipping culture sparks controversy among Koreans
기사 요약: 늘어나는 '팁 문화'에 한국서 상반된 반응 나타나
[1] A popular Seoul-based bagel shop recently became a lightning rod when a photo from the shop went viral online. Sitting next to the cash register was a tip jar -- a sight that touched the nerves of many Koreans who feel store owners are shifting the burden of rising operating costs to consumers by attempting to introduce gratuities.
*rod: (쇠)막대기, lightening rod: 피뢰침, 논란의 대상
*touch the nerve of ~: ~의 반응을 불러 일으키다
*gratuity: (=tip) 팁
[2] Tipping is not expected or practiced by customers in South Korea, but over the years, a few local businesses have started asking for tips. The bagel place in question is famous for having a London theme -- the irony being that tipping is not essential in the UK, particularly in shops like that one where customers pick out their own products and walk up to the cashier to pay for them.
*in question: 문제의/ 얘기, 논의가 되고 있는
*essential: 필수적인, 필요한
[3] Much of the general population remains negative toward the practice of tipping. Kakao Mobility Corp., the operator of the nation’s biggest taxi-hailing service Kakao T, introduced a system last month where users can choose to add a tip to their fare when service was satisfactory. A recent survey by local pollster Open Survey showed that 71.7 percent of respondents said they are against the taxi platform’s tip function, with only 17.2 percent saying they are for it.
*hailing: (택시,버스 등을) 신호를 보내다, 부르다/ 우박, 쏟아붓는
*satisfactory: 만족스러운, 충분한

- Seoul to help women freeze their eggs
기사 요약: 서울 사는 20~49세 여성을 대상으로 난자 냉동 시술비 200만원 지원 나선 정부
[1] The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Thursday that it will provide up to 2 million won ($1,511) to 300 women who wish to freeze their eggs via cryopreservation from Sept. 1, as a part of the city government‘s measure to tackle the falling birth rate.
*cryopreservation: 냉동 보존, 저장
[2] All women of Korean nationality residing in Seoul who are of childbearing age -- between ages 20 and 49 -- are eligible to apply if they have resided in Seoul for more than six months and are looking to have children now or sometime in the future. Some applicants may be selected based on their household income and Anti-Mullerian Hormone results, which should be proven through documents that must be submitted during the application process. Applications must be made retroactively within a year after the cryopreservation process has been completed, and the process must begin after Sept. 1 to be eligible for the support.
*eligible: ~를 가질 수/ 할 수 있는
- retroactively: 소급적으로
[3] According to a survey conducted by CHA Fertility Center, 69.8 percent of unmarried women and 64 percent of married women are willing to preserve their eggs. However, the majority of women have not been able to do so as each cryopreservation procedure costs from 2.5 million won to 5 million won per session and is not covered by national health insurance.
*covered by: 보험이 적용되는/ cover: 표지, 이야기를 다루다, 덮다

1. [Weekender] 'Old money' rises as the new black in fashion
기사요약: 부자들의 패션 ‘올드머니룩’이 새로운 유행이다. 과시보단 기본에 충실하지만 좋은 소재, 모양 등 디테일에 주목한 아이템들로 꾸미는 스타일이다.
[1] Old money refers to wealth that is deeply rooted in tradition, or wealth that is inherited rather than acquired through personal earnings. In this regard, the idea behind the old money look means looking like someone who comes from generational wealth.
*rooted: ~에 뿌리(근원)을 둔
*inherit: 상속받다, 물려받다
*acquire: (노력, 능력으로) 습득하다, 획득하다
[2] Typical characteristics of an old money look centers on eschewing logos and wearing clothes finished with luxurious materials such as cashmere and silk. Neutral shades, subtle details, monochromatic ensembles and tailored attires also constitute another cornerstone of this fashion aesthetic.
*centers on: ~에 초점을 맞추다
*eschewing: 피하다, 삼가다
*monochromatic: 단색의
*cornerstone: 초석, 주춧돌
[3] Another factor is that the old money trend is relatively easy to follow, unlike the Y2K trend, which emulates the kitschy pop culture and maximalist lifestyle of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Y2K trend has since gone beyond fashion to restaurants, bars and other retro consumer products.
*emulate: 모방하다
*kitschy: (인기는 있지만) 질 낮은 물건, 예술품

2. More Koreans to suffer from 'climate depression': experts
기사요약: 최근 급격한 기후 변화로 인해 기후우울증을 겪는 사람들이 많아지고 있다. 단순한 날씨 변화로 인한 우울감이 아니다. 기후 위기가 가족, 친구 그리고 인류에게 위기를 가져올 것이란 우려로 이 때문에 출산을 기피하는 사람도 생기고 있다.
[1] “Already, the World Health Organization is taking the issue of climate depression seriously. If climate change continues, more and more people may suffer from depression,” said Suh Kyung-hyun, a professor from the department of counseling psychology at Sahmyook University and president of the Korean Psychological Association of Culture and Social Issues.
*take sth seriously: ~를 심각하게 여기다, 진지하게 여기다
[2] Climate depression, or eco-anxiety, is defined as the fundamental distress over climate change and its impacts on the landscape and human existence. Eco-anxiety can manifest as intrusive thoughts or distress about future disasters or the long-term future of human existence and the world, including one’s descendants, according to experts.
*fundamental: 근본적인, 핵심적인
*distress: (정신적) 고통, 고충, 괴롭히다
*manifest: 나타내다, 드러내다
*intrusive: 거슬리는
[3] The feeling there is nothing they can do for climate change and the climate depression lead to a lack of will to give birth, beyond just worrying about future generations. In a ChildFund Korea survey, when asked if they had thought of giving up childbirth due to climate change, 43.3 percent of 1,000 respondents answered affirmatively. There were 185 out of the 1,000 respondents who said they actually had given up plans to have kids due to climate change.
*beyond: ~저편에, 그 너머에

[2] Despite the frequent changes and troubles that plagued the Jamboree, around 40,000 participants gathered in Seoul for the closing ceremony and for the “K-pop Super Live” concert that followed.
*frequent: 잦은
*plague: 전염병, 괴롭히다, 성가시게 하다

1. ‘Like students, teachers deserve protection of their rights in schools’
기사요약: 서울 서초구 초1 교사 사망사건 이후 그간 방치되어 온 교권침해 사례들이 수면 위로 올라왔다. 현장 교사들은 그간 겪었던 고충을 쏟아내며 교권 강화를 위한 법적 대책 마련을 촉구한다.
[1] Koh, a 23-year-old elementary teacher with two years of experience working at an elementary school in Busan, had a sixth-grade male student in her class last year who inflicted harm on himself in front of his peers, vomited every morning in class, skipped classes and assaulted teachers. But she wasn’t able to protect either herself or other students because the school refused to remove the student from the class, she said.
*inflict harm: 해를 끼치다
*peer: 또래, 동료
*assault: 폭행, 공격하다
[2] She called for enacting a law that improves working conditions for teachers, including recruiting teachers that are specifically for at-risk or special needs students and creating an administrative body solely dealing with parental complaints so that educators can minimize contact with such issues.
*enact: (법을) 제정하다
*at-risk: (특히 가정에서) 위험한 환경에 있는
*solely: 오로지, 단독으로
[3] “On top of everything else, schools are taking part in silencing a student’s misconduct or parents’ complaints instead of helping teachers, which gives parents more say in school affairs. Also, it could lead to peer pressure, resulting in more impudent students,” Park said.
*on top of everything else: 그 어느 것 보다도, 다른 걸 다 떠나서
*peer pressure: 또래 사이의 관계에서 느끼는 압박감, 사회적 압력
*impudent: 무례한, 버릇없는

2. [Beyond Earth] ‘We are part of something much more grand than we ever imagined’
기사요약: 세계적인 천문학자 칼 세이건의 딸 사샤 세이건이 코리아헤럴드와의 인터뷰에서 우주에 있어 인류의 책임감을 강조했다.
[1] Sasha Sagan, daughter of the late Carl Sagan, says what the human species has found out about space so far is already satisfying, but the bigger scope of the universe is awe-inspiring.
In 2019, Sasha Sagan wrote "For Small Creatures Such as We" to explore the sense of wonder and beauty of rituals in the most common occasions in life.
*late: 고(故)
*awe-inspiring: 완전히 영감을 불러일으키다
[2] Her dad Carl Sagan, one of the most renowned astronomers in history and probably the best-known astronomer of the 20th century, narrated and co-wrote the Emmy-winning 1980 TV series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" with his wife Ann Druyan. The show has been watched by over 500 million people in 60 countries. He also wrote bestseller "Cosmos" to accompany the series.
*renowned: 유명한, 명성 있는
*accompany: 동반하다
[3] She also underlined that as the space race heats up even further -- with private firms now entering the fray -- some level of accountability was needed, because the universe is not something humans can simply use and discard.
“I hope that we all as a species take some responsibility once we are leaving the Earth’s atmosphere. We must think about how our actions may impact what’s out there,” said Sagan. “I hope we go with a sense of responsibility that not everything we encounter is ours to just dispose of.”
*underline: 강조하다
*enter the fray: 설전에 가담하다
*accountability: 책임
*dispose of: ~을 처리하다, 폐기하다

1. A wake-up call on landslide dangers in S. Korea
기사 요약: 7월 호우 피해로 인해 한국 사회가 산사태 예방 및 대책에 얼마나 미흡한지가 들어나
[1] When torrential rain continues for days, hillside homes can be just as dangerous as riverside dwellings. This served as a painful lesson for South Korea, as several landslides caused casualties across the country.
*torrential: (엄청난 양의/ 양동이를 들이붓듯) 많이 내리는
*casualty: 사상자, 피해자
[2] The record July downpour has left 50 people dead or missing nationwide as of 11 a.m. Tuesday. Of them, 21 fatalities and six missing cases were reported in North Gyeongsang Province, where landslides devastated several hillside villages. Twelve of the province’s casualties were claimed by mudslides.
*fatality: 사망자, 치사율
*claim: 원인을 제공하다, 주장하다, 빼앗다 etc.
[3] Apart from two cases, 10 victims faced the unexpected disaster in areas not designated as “vulnerable to landslides,” highlighting a significant flaw in the nation’s landslide preparedness.
*vulnerable: 취약한
[4] Experts say Korea must now wake up to dangers lurking in mountains and hills covering 70 percent of the country’s landscape, in the face of increasingly frequent extreme weather events.
*lurking: 기다리고 있는, 숨어있는

2. Entrapment in the 'Kakao Kingdom'
기사 요약: 어느날 한국에 없어서는 안 될 ‘필수앱’이 된 카톡. 카톡 왕국에 갇힌 한국 사회와 새로 생긴 단톡에서 몰래 나가기 기능
[1] Since its introduction as a free mobile messenger in March 2010 under its vision to “connect everything,” KakaoTalk has quickly dominated the Korean messenger app market. Amid its immense popularity here, an increasing number of users are also feeling a sense of fatigue from excessive messages and notifications from various group chats.
*fatigue: 피로
[2] They also found it difficult to leave the chats in the past because of a feature in which users' exits are made visible to all the participants -- making it burdensome for those who do not wish to draw attention to themselves.
*burdensome: 부담스러운, 힘든
[3] In February this year, Rep. Kim Jung-ho of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea and 10 other lawmakers proposed a bill calling for the right to leave KakaoTalk chatrooms “silently.”
*call for: 요구하다
[4] When a KakaoTalk user leaves a chatroom, there used to be an automated announcement stating that “(User name) has left the room.” The bill aimed to address the inconvenience of users who get invited to non-Open Chat group chats against their will, and do not wish to draw attention to themselves when leaving.
*draw attention: 관심을 끌다

*accompany: 동행하다
*state visit: 국빈방문 /공식방문(official visit) 실무방문(working visit) 사적방문(private visit)
Lee traveled to Paris to attend a general assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions, the international body in charge of overseeing the World Expo, on Tuesday and Wednesday, to promote South Korea’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo in its southeastern city of Busan.
*in charge of: 담당하다 /be responsible for
*oversee: 관리감독하다 /supervise, run, administer

[2] Is Korea’s college entrance exam too difficult?
기사요약: 최근 ‘킬러문항’으로 논란이 된 수능의 적절 난도에 대한 문제제기
The Suneung also tests students on a wide array of concepts. The math section, for example, delves into complex equations and requires students to solve questions without a calculator, unlike the internationally recognized International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement tests that approve of calculator use.
*wide array of: 다양한 /selection of
*delve into: ~를 다루다 /deals with, explore
*approve of: ~를 허락하다
The language questions, in particular, have faced criticism for testing students based on how diligently they have memorized the dictionary, rather than assessing how well they comprehend the subject matter. The notoriously difficult English questions are famous for leaving even native English speakers puzzled.
*assess: 평가하다 /evaluate, estimate
*notoriously: 끔찍히
*leaving someone ~ed: ~이렇게 만들다 /make someone ~ed
*puzzled: 어리둥절, 얼떨떨한 /confused, perplexed
It is typical here for students to resort to private academies, known locally as hagwon, for years to boost their proficiency in understanding the test and to know what to expect with the help of A-list teachers.
*typical: 전형적인
*resort to: ~에 기대다
*boost: 신장시키다, 밀어올리다
The questions put students’ thinking skills to the test, frequently leaving them stumped, according to Woo. Aside from the English section, questions for other subjects are even more challenging because each question is designed to assign students a specific ranking, he added.
*put something to the test: 시험하다
*stumped: 당혹스럽다
*challenging: 어려운 /difficult, hard

[1] Cash-strapped young Koreans turn to pawn shops
기사 요약: 경제 불황 속 생활비 마련위해 전당포를 찾기 시작한 2030 청년세대
Pawn shops have been seen as relics of the past, from a time when instant cash loans were not so readily available with just a few clicks. But though many perished, a new breed of shops has emerged, catering to clients who possess expensive gadgets or luxury goods but are temporarily cash-strapped.
* readily (이용할 수 있도록) 준비가 된
* perished 소멸되다
* cash-strapped 재정난에 처한, 금전적으로 어려운
Lee Yong-seok’s shop in Seoul's bustling Hongdae specializes in loans secured against tech gadgets. In contrast to the traditional image of pawn shops with iron bars and stringent security measures, his shop resembles an ordinary store, featuring boutique-style showroom cases displaying luxury wallets, smartphones and tablet PCs.
* secured against -에 대비해서 지키다.
* stringent 엄중한, 엄격한
Clients are mostly in their 20s and 30s, according to Lee. “They usually borrow a small amount of money, between 200,000-300,000 won ($160-$240), leaving behind their laptops or digital cameras as collateral. More university students or job seekers in their 20s have visited in recent years,” he said.

[1] [Herald Interview] Minister turns to AI classes to cool competition in education
기사 요약: 이주호 교육부 장관, “AI 디지털 교과서 활용으로 주어진 문제에 대한 답을 하는 학생이 아닌 질문할 수 있는 인재 양성할 것”
Education Minister Lee Ju-ho is attempting to change the course of South Korea’s education system by adopting artificial intelligence technology in all public school classrooms, which the minister claims will transform the nation’s hypercompetitive education culture and make it the first country in the world to adopt such measures at scale.
* Attempting: 시도하다
* Adopt: 채택하다; 쓰다; 입양하다
* Transform: 완전히 바꿔 놓다; 변형시키다
* Hypercompetitive: 과도하게 경쟁적인
Calling it a “paradigm shift,” Lee said in an interview with The Korea Herald on Monday that the new plan of replacing paper-based textbooks with digital devices and AI-powered learning system, is aimed at solving educational inequality and reducing the heavy reliance on private education.
* Replace: 대신하다; 교체하다
* Aimed at: ~을 목표로 한
* Inequality: 불평등
* Reliance: 의존; 의지
“Students would connect to the cloud via electronic devices and access AI tutors for one-on-one personalized learning. Meanwhile, teachers would look after students’ social and emotional behaviors or offer a curriculum centering around active learning,” Lee said.
* Via: 통하여
* Access: 접속하다
* One-on-one: 일대일
When asked about his view on South Korea’s enduring education fever, wherein certain kindergarteners are sent to hagwon to prepare for medical school enrollment, the minister said that household spending on private education appears to have reached its peak, leaving no room for further expansion.
* Enduring: 지속되는
* No room for something: ~를 위한 여지가 없다

*genuine: 진실한, 진심 어린

기사 요약: 줄어드는 소아과 병원과 의사 수로 인해 어린아이가 빠른 치료를 받기가 어려워지는 현상

1. [Hello Hangeul] Are slang terms and abbreviations degrading the Korean language?
기사요약: '케파케'란 '케이스 바이 케이스'라는 영어 표현의 한국식 줄임말로 상황마다 다르다라는 뜻이며 요새 유행하는 약어 중 하나다. 이렇게 다양한 은어와 줄임말들이 등장하며 세대 간 소통이 어려워지는 상황도 종종 발생하는데 이러한 현상이 과연 국어를 훼손하진 않을지 짚어본다.
[1] When Cha Mi-joo asked about her 14-year-old son's opinion on his school lunch, he nonchalantly shrugged and gave a one-word response, "kebake."
She had to ask what he meant, because the term didn't align with her knowledge of the Korean language.
*nonchalantly: 차분히, 태연하게
*shrug: (어깨를) 으쓱하다
*align: 나란히 만들다, 조정하다
[2] However, this phenomenon is not confined to Korea, and there are those who see it as part of the evolution of all languages.
Others, however, express concern that it could lead to a potential erosion of the language’s richness and heritage, in which its more intricate and nuanced linguistic constructions are replaced with “simpler” ones.
*confine: 국한시키다, 얽매이다, 가두다
*erosion: 부식, 침식, 붕괴
*intricate: 복잡한
*nuanced: 미묘한 차이, 뉘앙스가 반영된
[3] Lee claimed that the adoption of slang terms and abbreviations is natural for every language, but the pace of their introduction in the internet age is “too fast.” The current pace could lead to a communication block among generations and ultimately discrimination against those who fail to catch up.
*slang: 속어, 은어
*discrimination: 차별

[1] People in South Korea's top 1 percent net asset bracket had at least around 3 billion won ($2.26 million) in net assets in 2021, according to a local insurance firm’s report, Sunday.
Net assets refer to the value of a person’s assets such as houses, cars, investments and cash, minus liabilities.
*net asset: 순자산
*bracket: 괄호, 등급 범위

기사 요약: 남성의 소득 불평등이 혼인율 감소 및 저출산으로 이어질 수 있다는 통계 조사

기사요약: 약자 친화적인 환경 조성을 위한 잘못 혹은 남발된 영어 사용 모니터링 프로젝트 출범

- bugbear: 근심거리, 골칫거리 (=bugaboo)
[2] To raise awareness of the issue and tackle the problem, the Center for Korean Language and Culture of Gyeongsang National University in South Gyeongsang Province launched a public language monitoring project on May 3, which will run until November.
- launch: 시작/개시/착수하다, (상품을) 출시하다
[3] Back Soo-jin, a senior researcher at the center told The Korea Herald on Wednesday that, according to the Framework Act on Korean Language, public institutions should use Hangeul “in accordance with language norms, using terms and sentences which ordinary citizens easily understand.” Foreign-language examples may be entered in parentheses.
- parentheses: 괄호
[4] Although failure to meet this requirement is not punishable by law, the National Institute of Korean Language and other organizations are conducting campaigns and projects as over-use of foreign languages -- English, in particular -- is prevalent in the public domain.
"While there are many loanwords like Bluetooth we cannot avoid using, we have to try our best to make public language easy to understand for the public and promote using our national language when and where we can."
-
prevalent: 일반적인/널리 퍼져 있는 (=common, widespread)
-
loanword: 차용어, 외래어

--expand investment: 투자 확대하다 /increase, deepen, step up

1. In trilingual Hong Kong, Korean is the new kid on the block
기사 요약: 홍콩 대학생들 뿐 아니라 초·중·고등학교 학생들에게 인기를 얻고 있는 한국어 배우기 열풍 관련 학교 현장 취재
With surging interest in Korean culture, city’s public schools are starting to introduce Korean as part of curriculum
[1] At the chime of the school bell, a group of 10 fifteen-year-olds rises from their seats and bows to the teacher, chirping in unison, “annyeonghaseyo,” or “hello” in Korean.
* chime 종을 울리다
* in unison 일제히, 한결같이
[2] It’s an unusual greeting to hear in Hong Kong schools, where the corridors are usually filled with a cacophonic mix of Cantonese, English and Mandarin. But at Mu Kuang English School, a middle and high school partly subsidized by the government, it’s how 90 students begin their weekly Korean classes.
* cacophony 불협화음
* subsidized by -- 로부터 보조금을 받다
[3] Over the next hour, teacher Canny Lai Yuen-wa speaks in an interwoven mix of Cantonese and Korean, explaining how to make simple sentences like “I eat lunch in the classroom.” “In Korean, the sentence structure is different from Chinese. You’d say, ‘I, classroom at, lunch, eat’ instead,” Lai said, eliciting giggles from the students.
* interwoven 뒤섞인
* elicit (반응을) 끌어내다
[4] While Korean has long been taught at private academies and at university level in the city, elementary, middle and high schools have just begun to pay attention to the rise in interest in the language.

기사 요약: 2008년 한국인 최초 우주인이 된 이소연 박사가 15년 만에 전하는 우주 비행사들과 한국 우주탐사에 관한 현재와 미래 이야기
Korea’s first and only astronaut says many astronauts become more interested in global issues after space flights
[1] “As a human who has looked at the Earth from space with the naked eye, I’ve come to a position where it is very difficult for me to ignore the problems on Earth. And that is something that all astronauts have in common,” said Yi So-yeon, Korea’s one and only astronaut, in an interview with The Korea Herald on April 25.
* naked eye 육안
* one and only 유일한, 유명한
[2] Yi became the first Korean to travel to space when Soyuz TMA-12, a Russian space mission to the International Space Station, was launched on April 8, 2008. She recently wrote “Meet Me at the Universe,” a book recalling her time before, during and after she became an astronaut. The book was published on April 8 this year to mark the 15th anniversary of her space flight.
* recall 기억해 내다, 소환
* anniversary 기념일
[3] “I’m an earthling before I’m a Korean. The problems in Korea are important, but the problems of the world are also very important. Those neglected in Korea are having a tough time, but those neglected by international society could be having a tougher time,” she said.
* neglected 방치된, 도외시된
* tough 힘든, 어려운, 엄한
[4] Yi pointed out that many astronauts in fact take action in international campaigns and try to offer support for them. According to her, some Russian astronauts are likely to have regretful feelings toward Ukraine and some American astronauts take interest in the problems of China because they have had the opportunity to realize that we are all earthlings.
* regretful 유감스러워하는 (듯한), 후회하는
* realize 깨닫다

*awareness: 경각심

*inflict: (괴로움 등을) 가하다, ~ 안기다
[2] On Friday, a local organization, the Blue Tree Foundation, held a campaign in Seoul decrying school violence and cyberbullying. The Ministry of Education announced that it will roll out new measures against school bullying next month, sparked by a recent controversy involving bullying allegations against the son of the disgraced former National Office of Investigation head nominee.
*decry: 비난하다, 매도하다 (denounce, condemn, criticize)
[3] Between campaigns, a hit TV show depicting the vengeful path of a bullying victim and nationwide furor over the son of a powerful man leading the life of someone elite while his victim still suffers, the nation -- at least on the surface -- seems more wary than ever toward violence among students.
*vengeful: 복수심에 불타는, 복수심을 보이는
*furor: 격렬한 감격, 분노, 격노 (an outbreak of public anger/ or excitement)
[4] But the numbers indicate that there is a long way to go before eradicating schoolyard bullying, which has expanded to cyberspace, with a recent study showing an upward trend in cyberbullying among teens.

1. Will 'nim' do?
기사 요약: 다소 모호할 수 있는 우리나라 호칭 문화 '님,' '씨' 등에 대한 고찰
[1] President Yoon Suk Yeol scrapped Korea’s traditional way of counting age, in which a person is considered one at birth, and grows a year older on the first day of the new year. The revised law will go into effect in June. Some may wish the same might be done about Koreans’ way of addressing each other.
-
scrapped 폐기처분하다, 철회하다
-
go into effect 효력이 발생되다, 실시되다
-
addressing ~에게 말을 걸다, 다루다
[2] Over the past two decades, a growing number of South Koreans have been using “nim” as an honorific suffix after names, or as a respectful but informal form of “you.”
-
honorific 존경을 나타내는, 경칭의
-
suffix 접미사
[3] There are some reasons behind the proliferation of “nim.” Traditionally, Koreans had a highly ordered system of addressing each other, with a single person often having multiple appellations. He or she would have an informal one for the home and among friends; an official one which people of lower ranks or age could not use without adding a title or appropriate honorifics; and a “ho,” which is similar to a pen name.
-
proliferation 급증, 확산
-
appellation 명칭, 호칭, 직함
-
appropriate 적절한
[4] It is still considered rude to call an adult by his or her first name today, despite drastic changes in society. Thus, addressing someone can be rather wordy, awkward or risky -- especially in non-familial and non-professional circumstances.
- drastic 과감한, 극단적인

[1] To become a naturalized citizen of South Korea, applicants must have a basic knowledge of the Korean language, customs and culture, which is evaluated through a written test and an interview.
-
naturalized (외국인을) 귀화시키다, 귀화한
-
evaluate 평가하다
[2] The Korea Immigration and Naturalization Aptitude Test comprises multiple-choice questions, a writing test and an oral test, which must be completed within 60 minutes. To pass, one must score at least 60 points out of 100. According to the Justice Ministry, Korean children in the fourth to sixth grades should be able to pass the test.
- comprise …으로 구성된
[3] As a Korea Herald reporter and a South Korean citizen of 36 years and counting, I decided to try my hand at the multiple-choice question section of the ministry’s latest sample test posted September 2022. This section accounted for 65 of the 100 total points.
- try my hand 처음으로 시도해보다
[4] The special process for those who are deemed to have exceptional abilities has the least number of requirements, and are not subject to requirements like a mandated period of residency, as well as a certain level of assets and income. They are also exempt from written tests.
-
deemed to (…로) 여기다, 생각하다
-
mandated 법에 규정된
[5] Of course, very few qualify for this since they must be someone who is expected to contribute greatly to the country’s interests through their expertise in fields such as science, economy, culture and sport. It was only in April of 2021 that 200 people got citizenship through this process, 10 years after the system’s introduction in 2011. In comparison, the number of newly naturalized citizens is around 10,000 people a year. In comparison, the number of newly naturalized citizens is around 10,000 people a year.

Also, desserts and special meals are additionally provided to those staying in VIP rooms, according to the ministry.
* Equipped with: ~를 갖춘
* Home appliance: 가정용 전기제품
[3] Postpartum care centers have been a popular choice for new mothers who wish to receive proper care after giving birth. Postpartum care has traditionally been provided by the mother's family members, but with changes in family structure, such personal and hands-on care has been shifting to the private sector.

기사 요약: 2030 미혼 여성 결혼, 출산 ‘필수'라 생각하는 비율 큰 폭 감소
[1] More than a half of women said that marriage and childbirth are not an essential part of their lives, a survey showed Sunday, suggesting a growing trend of women defying the expectations of traditional gender roles in Korean society.
essential: 필수적인, 중요한

*mandatory: 의무적인/ 법에 정해진
[3] The study suggested that the importance of marriage and childbirth appear to be connected to respondents' perception of Korean society. Respondents who spoke highly of their quality of life and society tended to think marriage and childbirth are "important," the study said in its analysis of the survey. This implies that respondents with higher social trust and who believe that the community they live in is capable of providing more opportunities and equality tend to view marriage and childbirth as attractive options, according to the association.

- ChatGPT shows limitations in East Asian languages, but not for long: linguist
기사요약: 세상을 바꿀 기술로 전세계의 이목을 사로잡은 오픈AI의 인공지능 챗봇 ChatGPT의 한계에 대해 옥스포드대학교 한국어 언어학 Jieun Kiaer 교수가 말하다.
[1] ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot taking the English-speaking world by storm, is being called by many as a mind-blowing “game changer.”
For now, East Asian countries, which use their own search engines and platforms different from the rest of the world, are spared by the immediate impact, although it won’t be long before AI is trained to get information from them as well, according to Jieun Kiaer, a professor of Korean linguistics at the University of Oxford.
*take the world by the storm: 세상을 사로잡다
*mind-blowing: 너무 신나는, 감동적인, 놀라운
*game changer: 게임 체인저 (상황 전개를 완전히 바꿔놓는 사람이나 아이디어, 사건)
[2] Since Asian languages in particular have very complex pragmatics based on interpersonal relations and societal hierarchies, AI translators have trouble using those languages, giving human interpreters of these languages some time before the bots catch up, the linguist said.
*pragmatics: 화용론 (말하는 이, 듣는 이, 시간, 장소 따위로 구성되는 맥락과 관련하여 문장의 의미를 체계적으로 분석하려는 의미론의 한 분야)
*interpersonal: 대인관계에 관련된
*hierarchy: 계급, 계층, 지배층
[3] The professor explained that chatbots like ChatGPT lack linguistic diversity, pragmatic versatility and it takes huge quantities of money, time and energy to train AI bots to process language as the human brain can.
*versatility: 다양성, 다재다능한

*flock: 떼 지어 가다, 모이다
[2] Though Seomyeon was Busan’s key shopping district for decades, young people had begun losing interest in the area because of its outdated shops. However, with new cafes opening up in back alleys and the Busan Metropolitan Government’s decision to designate the area a “cafe street,” the district gained a breath of fresh air.
*outdated: 구식인 (out of date)
*alley: 골목
[3] In Melbourne, drinking coffee at a specialty coffee shop is a daily routine for many locals, regardless of their income, he said. However, in Korea people are likely to settle for lower quality, low priced coffee on a daily basis rather than splurge on specialty coffee.
*settle for: ~으로 만족하다
*daily basis: 일일 단위로
*splurge: 돈을 물 쓰듯 쓰다

1. 'Zero COVID' is over. Why are Chinese still protesting?기사 요약: 중국 ‘제로 코로나'가 끝났음에도 중국인들이 계속해서 시위하는 이유는?
[1] China’s strict “zero-COVID” policy ended last month, but the movement of defiance against Chinese President Xi Jinping continues.
*defiance: 반항, 저항
[2] On Lunar New Year’s Eve on Saturday, a small group of Chinese people gathered near the Embassy of China in Seoul for the fourth “white-paper” protest to take place here. The movement against COVID-19 restrictions came to be known as white-paper protests after people in China held up blank sheets of papers to express discontent and dodge censorship.
*take place: 개최되다, 일어나다
*discontent: 불만 (fuel, voice)
[3] (Edited)One participant, who said he was in his 30s, said the end of zero-COVID did not mean people in China now had freedom. “Chinese people have always lived under oppression like slaves long before the pandemic hit. I lived in China all my life until my family moved here five years ago, so I know,” said the man, who said he was from near Beijing.
*oppression: 탄압/ oppressive: 억압하는
[4] The pandemic likely served as a trigger for the Chinese public to express their already existing woes with intensifying repression, according to Moon Heung-ho, head of the Institute of Chinese Studies at Hanyang University in Seoul. “Before this point, public discontent rarely translated into tangible expressions like protests due to the state’s harsh crackdown,” he said in a phone call with The Korea Herald.

But this year, some families have decided to honor the tradition in a lighter mood, according to photos gone viral on online communities.

[2] This photo, uploaded by an anonymous user and shared on Instagram, shows a clever use of a wall-mounted TV screen, a staple in Korean living rooms. Instead of keeping a physical traditional folding screen for ancestral rites, the TV was used as a backdrop for the table of food and drink offerings.
- staple: 주요한, 주된 요소
[3] Jesa starts and ends with the lighting and extinguishing of incense. But, what if you’ve run out of it? This family found an alternative at home – scented diffusers.
“We were missing the incense during the ceremony, so we decided to simply replace it with a diffuser and bowed to it,” explained the person who uploaded the photo on Twitter.

[1] South Korea last week passed a revision bill being deemed the "Korean chips act," expanding tax benefits for investments in the semiconductors industry.

[1] South Korea is likely to lift its indoor mandate in two stages, starting with schools and public offices in mid-January, according to multiple health authorities on Sunday.

*implement: 시행하다
[3] “Expert discussion will be held before we finalize the mask release, but it is desirable to adjust them before the Lunar New Year holiday as much as possible," a government official said.

Put the final (finishing) touch: 마무리를 하다
South Korea faces an uphill battle with powerhouses like Portugal and Uruguay in the same group, who are widely considered contenders for the coveted World Cup. Ghana is hardly a pushover either, despite being the lowest FIFA-ranked team of the group at No. 61, with stars like Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey in the mix.

2. Street cheering to be held in Seoul amid woes over large-scale gatherings after Itaewon crowd crush
요약: 서울시, 찬반 갈렸던 월드컵 거리응원 허용
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to allow street cheering events during the South Korean national soccer team's World Cup games to be held at Gwanghwamun Square, the capital’s largest outdoor space for public gatherings, despite safety concerns following the Itaewon crowd crush last month.
* Despite: ~에도 불구하고
* Following: 그 다음의
The decision came after planned street cheering events in Gwanghwamun Square were taken into serious consideration this year, following the deadly crowd crush that took away the lives of more than 150 people.
-
Come after: ~뒤에 나오다
-
Take into: ~의 관계[상태]가 되게 하다
-
Deadly: 생명을 앗아가는; 치명적인
Street rallies during the World Cup have been considered special events over the past couple of decades, particularly since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. South Korea’s team played six games during that tournament, and millions of people poured into the streets to watch the matches together and cheer on the team. The events, held every four years since, are arguably the biggest celebrations for local soccer fans.
-
Street rally: 거리 집회
-
Poured: 마구 쏟아지다; 흘러나오다
However, the situation is different this year as the World Cup in Qatar kicked off less than a month after the crowd crush. The country observed a weeklong period of national mourning for the victims earlier this month, and the Korea Football Association in early November released a statement saying it had decided to cancel all street events in solidarity with the victims of the crowd crush.
-
Observe: 관찰하다; 목격하다
-
Weeklong: 주일에 걸친

[1] GENEVA -- The three main greenhouse gases hit record high levels in the atmosphere last year, the UN weather agency said Wednesday, calling it an “ominous” sign/ as war in Ukraine, rising costs of food and fuel, and other worries have elbowed in on longtime concerns about global warming in recent months.

[3] North Korea will likely continue to ratchet up military tension on the Korean Peninsula, as it would want to cement its status as a nuclear-armed state, with its seventh nuclear test as a finale.

[3] A sports center in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, has recently put up a notice that restricts entry of tattooed members.

*unpleasant 불쾌한, 불편한
[4] The no-tattoo policy is adopted by some luxury hotels and resorts, as well. The Westin Josun Seoul requires guests with visible tattoos to cover them with patches to enter the indoor swimming pool. “All hotel guests are given a written notice stipulating the operating rules of the swimming pool when checking in.

1. Soaring drug use catches Korea unprepared
기사 요약: 마약 유통과 공급이 다양한 통로로 급속도로 퍼지면서 한국은 “마약 청정국”에서 벗어나고 있다. 마약 늪에 빠진 한국, 그 해법은?
Korea, once touted by the government as “drug-free,” is seeing a fast rise in drug offences. Experts say the government’s belated crackdown is not enough, and prevention and rehabilitation efforts are needed alongside it.

* Offence: 위법행위; 범죄

Based on that figure, Korea hasn't been drug-free since 2015, and the number of offenders is rising each year.

-
Work on: ~에 노력을 들이다, 착수하다
-
Table: (의안 등을) 상정하다

[3] Tension between the two countries intensified after Japan placed export curbs on key high-tech materials crucial for Korean tech firms in July 2019.

Korea was a colony of Japan at that time.

*allegation: (증거 없는) 혐의
*prompt: ~하도록 하다, 즉각적인, 신속한
[3] Four months into a presidency, the controversy over the first lady shows no sign of abating.

*abate: 약해지다
*relegate: 격하시키다, 가볍게 다루다, 강등시키다
*mere: 겨우 ~의

The presidential office immediately countered, labeling it a false report.

2. Irreversible climate changes expected even with decreased greenhouse gas: study
[1] A group of researchers at Yonsei University have found that even if the concentration level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is reduced to that of the pre-industrial era, it will be difficult to restore the climate’s condition to its original state.
*concentration level: 농도
*greenhouse gas: 온실가스
*restore: 회복하다
[2] According to Yonsei University on Friday, an in-house research team led by atmospheric sciences professor An Soon-il developed the world’s first climate recovery map, which is designed to illustrate possible improvements in global surface temperatures and precipitation with reduced greenhouse gas emissions by region over a timespan of centuries.
*atmospheric: 대기의
*precipitation: 강수량
[3] The researchers used an Earth system model with the idealized scenario of removing carbon dioxide emissions to pre-industrial levels.
*idealized: 최적화된
[4] Despite the decreased amount of CO2 emissions, the study projected that 89 percent of global areas would experience irreversible changes in surface temperature, while 58 percent will experience irreversible changes in precipitation. The results showed that African and South American regions will inevitably face a climate crisis, whereas North American, European and East Asian areas’ climate could improve in the future.

1. No one’s really happy with food delivery platforms anymore
[1] When food delivery platforms first emerged, they were hailed as an innovative new business that would bring convenience to our everyday lives.
*hailed: (특히 신문 등에서 아주 훌륭하거나 특별한 것으로) 묘사하다
*innovative: 혁신적인
[2] With just a few taps, foodies were able to enjoy a wide range of dishes delivered right to their doorsteps. Small restaurants could reach a much wider pool of customers. People got jobs as delivery riders. Delivery startups were the darlings of the capital market, receiving huge investments.
*foodie: 식도락가
[3] But after a decade of living with Baedal Minjok, Yogiyo and, more recently, Coupang Eats, many seem to question whether these apps have improved things.
*question: 질문, 의문
[4] Kim Seung-june, 32, is skeptical after a recent experience.
*skeptical: 의심 많은, 회의적인, 회의를 나타내는, 회의론자 같은; 신용하지 않는
[5] Preparing for a housewarming party, he browsed the Baedal Minjok app for fried chicken and bossam, a Korean pork dish. The food from the two different restaurants came to a combined total of 50,000 won ($38.16), but the delivery charges amounted to one-fifth of that -- 10,000 won.

[2] Speaking to reporters as he arrived for work, Yoon shared the story of the family who was found dead at their home in Suwon, south of Seoul, after reportedly struggling with illness and financial difficulties.
*reportedly: 전하는 바에 따르면, 소문에 의하면
[3] "I have told the people until now that when it comes to welfare, which is the foundation of freedom and solidarity, I would pursue welfare for the weak rather than welfare for politics, and meet with the weak who are unable to express their difficulties in one voice and look after their difficult lives," he said.
*solidarity: 연대, 결속
*welfare: 안녕
[4] "The central government will create a system whereby these people can be taken care of, and as president, I will pay special attention to struggling citizens and work with local governments to ensure such incidents don't happen again," he added.

1. 'Angry young men' are turning their backs on Yoon
[1] “Disgruntled young men” were one of the main forces behind the rise of a political novice named Yoon Suk-yeol to the highest office in South Korea earlier this year. Yoon, whose career had been entirely focused on rounding up bad guys as a state prosecutor, was hoped to restore justice in a society that they say was tilted in favor of feminists, labor unions and North Korean sympathizers.
*disgruntled:불만스러워 하는, 언짢은/ disgruntle: 기분을 상하게 하다
*novice: 초보자/ novice at/in sth : a novice at the sport, a novice in politics
*round up: 1.~을 모으다 2. ~을 찾아 체포하다
*sympathizer: 동조자/ sympathize: 측은히 여기다, 지지하다
[2] A few months after his election, however, the mood among younger conservative men appears to be sharply different. “People in their 20s and 30s around me are all regretting their vote for Yoon Suk-yeol,” one recent post uploaded on FM Korea read, an online community popular among young conservatives. Another said, “I’m scared of what blunders we might hear.”
*blunder: (어리석은) 실수, v)실수하다
[3] When asked why, 24 percent of those surveyed who disapproved of the president cited his appointment of Cabinet members, while 14 percent said lack of experience and incompetence. Six percent were not happy with the administration’s handling of the floods.
*cabinet: 내각/ 보관함 윤석열 정부를 구성하고 있는 사람들

2. Iceland tops gender gap report for 2022
[1] Efforts to close the global gender gap improved slightly this year after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed gender equality by at least three decades, the World Economic Forum said.
*gender gap: 성별 격차/ Gender Gap Index: 세계경제포럼(WEF)이 경제적 참여와 기회, 교육적 성과, 정치적 참여, 평균 수명과 성비를 기반한 성불평등지수
[2] In its 16th Global Gender Gap Report, the WEF said overall gender disparity across politics, work, health and education improved and it will now take 132 years to reach full parity compared with 136 years last year. Before the pandemic, the gap was set to close within 100 years.
*disparity: (특히 한 쪽에 불공평한) 차이/ disparity between the sexes, in age, among schools (=inequality)
*parity: (보수, 지위의) 동등함 (=equality)
[3] Iceland topped the ranking for the 13th consecutive year due to the nation’s high educational attainment score and the high percentage of women in government followed by Finland, Norway and New Zealand. South Korea ranked 99th among 146 countries. The WEF’s global gender gap index measures progress toward gender parity in four areas: Economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival as well as political empowerment.
*attainment: 성과/ 달성

1. 15-year longevity possible because ‘Girls’ Generation is Girls’ Generation’s fan’
[1] Just like the title of the band’s first single, “Into the New World,” Girls’ Generation opened up a new era in the K-pop scene with their debut on Aug. 5, 2007. The nine-piece instantly took the nation by storm, reigning on the top of the charts and popularity for years.
*nine-piece: 9명의 (밴드)
*take by storm: 마음을 사로잡다, 넋을 잃게 하다, 인기를 얻다
*reign on: ~위에서 군림하다
[2] Starting their careers together as K-pop musicians in their early teenage years, the girls are now all women in their thirties with established careers of their own. During their hiatus from group activities, the eight bandmates have strived to set down their own roots as musicians and actors -- and have now returned together on a stable ground. Not only did they feel happy to be together, they also realized how much they’ve all grown as individual entities.
*established: 확실히 자리 잡은
*hiatus: (행동의) 중단, 틈
*strive: 분투하다
[3] Fifteen years as a group is something that cannot be maintained just for the sake of business. During the press conference, the members shared their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who waited for their comeback, and to those who put their minds together to make this miracle happen.

2. As Beijing rages over Taiwan, mood on China's streets muted
[1] China’ thunderous response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit brought cross-Strait tensions to their highest level in years and sparked an outpouring of nationalist zeal online, but the mood on the streets in mainland China is a little more circumspect.
*outpouring: 분출, 쏟아져 나옴
*zeal: 열의, 열성
*circumspect: 신중한
[2] Enraged by Pelosi’s trip, Beijing last week launched some of its largest-ever military drills encircling the island while suspending cooperation with the United States on issues including climate change and defence.
*enraged: 격분하게 만들다
*encircle: 둥글게 둘러싸다
*suspend: 유예, 중단하다
[3] China sees Taiwan as part of its territory and has vowed to one day take it, by force if necessary, with the self-ruled island’s eventual reunification and absorption into the mainland an article of faith for many Chinese.
*eventual: 궁극, 최종적인
*article of faith: 신조, 신념
[4] “I'm not too worried because I know it won’t happen... whoever turns to force first (over Pelosi's visit) will be in the wrong,” said Zhao, a 29-year-old Beijing resident who only gave his surname.
“Many Chinese hope for reunification with Taiwan. This is an idea that's been instilled since childhood and is seen as politically correct,” Zhao added.
“But there has been less in-depth discussion, because the Internet does not allow for diverse views and offline talks can easily land in conflict.”

1. Negligence outstrips alcohol as leading cause of road deaths
[1] Around a fortnight ago, emergency operators in North Chungcheong Province received a call from a driver who suffered second-degree burns while driving. The cause of the accident? Trying to enjoy a bowl of hot noodles while driving on the freeway, for some reason.
-

second-degree burn: 2도 화상
[2] What seems to be a random act of foolishness is actually linked to the leading cause of traffic accidents and deaths in South Korea: failure to drive safely.
- leading cause: 주요 원인
[3] Article 48 of the Road Traffic Act stipulates every drivers’ duty of safe driving, meaning the driver must correctly operate all related systems and devices on his or her vehicle. But this is by far the most frequently violated clause, especially via the use of cellphones and video devices, or drowsy driving.

2. Boyangsik to invigorate you
- Summer calls for dishes that will fortify you against sweltering heat
[1] Koreans mark the three hottest days of the summer season, known as “boknal.” Those days are called “chobok,” “jungbok” and “malbok.” During boknal, Koreans look for boyangsik, dishes with high nutritional value, to reenergize themselves for the dog days of summer.

[3] There are several boyangsik dishes that people turn to help them cope with the summer heat other than samgyetang, such as a steaming bowl of chicken soup with ginseng- and-glutinous rice-stuffed whole chicken. Other popular dishes include chueotang (loach soup) and mineojjim (steamed Chinese drum fish), and jangeogui (grilled eel).
- cope with 적응하다
[4] “According to ‘Donguibogam’ (a medical book written by royal physician Heo Jun in 1963), mineo has a warm temperature, so it delivers energy to our intestines which are likely to get colder during the summer season,” Kang Min-gi, a doctor of Korean medicine at Gyeonggi Province, told The Korea Herald.

*accessibility: 접근성
*versatility: 다양성
*boilermaker: 보일러 만드는 사람, 폭탄주

2. Summer is for buckwheat noodles
기사요약: 여름의 양식, 메밀국수 맛집 소개
[1] One of the summertime dining staples in Korea is buckwheat noodles.
Even when the scorching weather makes one easily lose their appetite, it is hard to resist the slurpable noodles that can be served either hot or cold.
*dining staple: 주식
*appetite: 입맛
*slurpable: 후루룩 마실 수 있는
[2] The naturally gluten-free buckwheat contains abundant lysine, an essential amino acid which is missing in most plant-based vegan diets. It is also known to strengthen blood vessels and help improve cholesterol levels, according to multiple food nutrition studies.
*lysine: 리신 (아미노산의 일종)
[3] As Korea’s memil guksu — a type of buckwheat noodle dish in which the noodles and dipping broth are usually served separately — has gained popularity, there has been much debate about its origins. A vast majority of reviews based on historical archives today seem to give much weight to speculations that it is a modified version of the Japanese soba, which supposedly landed in Korea during the Japanese colonization.
Apart from the memil guksu, Koreans have enjoyed buckwheat noodles in a variety of different ways since the Joseon era.

*give weight to: ~중요시 하다, 비중을 두다

Turmoil: 혼란; 소란
-
Take into account: ~를 고려하다
-

Residents: 거주자; 주민
-
Surrounding: 인근의; 주위의

*pop up: 튀어나오다, 불쑥 나타나다
*indicate: 나타내다, 가리키다
*youngster: 청년, 젊은이

*mark: 표시하다, 기록하다
[4] A 34-year-old office worker stationed in Incheon surnamed Lee said he is postponing marriage until after acquiring some kind of financial stability. “I wouldn’t rule out marriage as an option, but I don’t want to rush into it without sufficient funding,” he said.
*stationed: 주둔하는, 배치된

- look for 찾다, 구하다
[4] For instance, if a female in her 30s clicks on “how to decorate a room,” the search engine recommends more detailed search terms such as “how to improve the mood of my room,” rather than offering a vast amount of data or room decor tips, the official added.

[4] “My job is different from that of typical chefs or food researchers. I advise and instruct restaurant owners, chefs, apprentices and novices who seek the original and traditional Korean food,” said Seo on a recent afternoon at Mijeoggamgag in Yeonhui-dong, northern Seoul, during an interview with The Korea Herald. For over 20 years, Seo has been teaching and advising leading entrepreneurs, restaurateurs and individuals who simply wish to cook Korean food in the traditional way.

Some suggested forcing foreigners to get a license from the Korean government to make real estate deals, though the contentious proposal has yet to gain the parliament’s support.

*concern: 우려
*hastily: 급히, 서둘러서

We spoke with Bora Chung, an award-winning author who was one of two Korean authors nominated for the 2022 International Booker Prize. Her book, “Cursed Bunny,” translated by Anton Hur is a collection of 10 “genre-defying” short stories that span magical realism, horror and science fiction. Chung “uses elements of the fantastic and surreal to address the very real horrors and cruelties of patriarchy and capitalism in modern society.”
In this episode, hosts Beth Eunhee Hong and Naomi Ng ask Bora about the inspiration for her imaginative fiction, her translation work, and her future projects.

- Doctor says those without COVID-19 have no friends
기사 요약: 코로나 미감염자는 대인관계에 문제 있다고 말한 의사
[1] The reason you haven’t contracted COVID-19 yet? Probably because you have no friends. At least, that’s what one South Korean physician believes.

기사 요약: 이재명 당선 패배로 불확실해진 민주당의 미래는?
The Democratic Party of Korea faces a perilous path ahead after the defeat of its candidate Lee Jae-myung, as possible investigations and political actions could undermine its dominant position in South Korean politics.

* Undermine: (권위 등을) 약화시키다
Lee's defeat signifies that voters have eventually chosen to prioritize holding the current administration to account, underscored by Yoon Suk-yeol of the conservative People Power Party over Lee's assertions that he would be able to bring about a national recovery.
* Signify: 의미하다, 나타내다
* Hold something to account: 누군가에게 책임을 묻다

** Megahit: 대히트

* Be down on one’s luck: 재수가 없다, 운이 나쁘다

1. Can the Korean won become a reserve currency?
요약: 지난 2월 21일 20대 대선후보 토론 도중, 더불어민주당 이재명 대선 후보가 한국이 기축통화국에 편입될 가능성이 매우 높다고 발언하여 논란이 불거졌다.
[1] Presidential nominee Lee Jae-myung of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea claimed that the South Korean won is close to becoming a reserve currency, a comment that was immediately met with a huge uproar and mocked.
*reserve currency: 기축통화
*mock: 놀리다, 조롱하다
[2] During a presidential debate Monday, Lee said he is aware of a report that South Korea is close to seeing its local currency become a reserve currency like the US dollar, which will enable the country to increase its budgetary spending and raise the national debt level without worries.
*budgetary: 예산의, 지출 예상의
*national debt: 국가 부채, 나라빚
[3] "Our country’s national debt level is much lower than those of other advanced nations," Lee said while debating monetary policies with his main rival Yoon Suk-yeol of the main opposition People Power Party. "Our debt ratio is not even at 50 percent, and there was a report that Korea has high probability of reaching the status of reserve currency nation soon."
*monetary: 통화(화폐)의
*debt ratio: 부채비율, 부채자본비율
[4] He also elaborated on the idea in answering a follow-up question from People’s Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo about whether Lee is aware of the difference between countries issuing reserve currencies and those that do not.
*follow-up: 후속 조치, 후속편
*issue: 교부하다, 발부하다

2. S. Korean Embassy urges remaining nationals in Ukraine to be ‘fully prepared’

[1] The South Korean Embassy in Ukraine on Friday urged its nationals still remaining in the country to be “fully prepared” for potential chaos as Russia began its invasion of Ukraine the previous day.
*nationals: (특정 국가의) 국민
*invasion: 침략, 침입
[2] In a notice posted on its website, the embassy said it believes there is possibility of various chaotic situations breaking out in the capital Kiev and other major cities, such as disruption of electricity and related networks, arson and explosions, whose actors may be hard to specify.
*notice: 공고문, 안내문
*chaotic: 혼돈(혼란) 상태인
*arson: 방화
[3] “We ask our nationals to be fully prepared so they can calmly manage in case of such situations, bearing mind that there are possibilities of chaos due to power outages and loss of communication,” it said. The embassy said it handed out emergency kits which included lanterns and radios to Korean nationals, and will continue to maintain contact with the remaining citizens.
*outage: 정전, 송전 정지
*emergency kit: 응급 키트
[4] A total of 64 South Koreans are estimated to be residing in Ukraine as of Thursday, and 36 of them expressed their willingness to leave, while 28 are still refusing to leave, saying they have made their homes in the east European nation.

1.Yoon once again haunted by ‘kkondae’ image
요약: 윤석열 국민의힘 대선 후보가 홍보 열차 안에서 구두를 신은 채 맞은편 의자에 두 발을 올려놓은 사진이 논란이 되면서 ‘꼰대’ 이미지 비판을 피하지 못했다.
[1] Presidential candidate Yoon Suk-yeol of the main opposition People Power Party came under fire earlier this week after a picture of him putting his feet on a train seat went viral. The photo, uploaded on social media by his aide Lee Sang-il, showed Yoon’s legs all stretched out with his feet on the seat opposite of him with his shoes on. The train was chartered by his party as part of his presidential campaign.
*come under fire: 맹비난[비판]을 받다
*charter: (항공기나 배를) 전세 내다 / charter flight: 전세기
[2] His show of poor etiquette saw critics slam him as a “kkondae,” a term that refers to a condescending older person in Korean. It is not the first time Yoon’s manners, or lack thereof, have made headlines.
*slam: 비난하다/ 쾅 닫다
*condescending: 거들먹거리다, 잘난 체하다
*thereof: (앞에 언급된) 그것의 <부사>
[3] Last year, Yoon came under fire after being pictured ”manspreading“ on multiple occasions. Manspreading is defined as “the act or practice by a man of sitting with the legs spread wide apart (as in a public seating area) in a way that intrudes on the space of others,“ according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
*manspread: 다리를 벌리다/ 쩍벌남
*intrude: 방해하다, 침범하다
[4] Though these instances of poor manners may seem innocuous on first glance, the act of sitting with one’s legs wide apart, or putting one’s feet on a seat on public transportation are linked with being “condescending” or even authoritarian.
*innocuous: 악의 없는, 무해한
*authoritarian: 권위주의적인

2.From study cafes to ride-sharing, Koreans seem to prefer same-sex environments. Why?
요약: '남녀칠세부동석'! 한국인이 남녀를 구분하는 환경을 더 선호하는 특별한 이유가 있다?
[1] From study rooms to gosiwon, tiny housing cubicles available for rent, separating people by sex is widely accepted as a norm. Seoul’s latest move to allow taxi ride-sharing also attests to the popular guide of separating people by gender, making the service available only among same-sex users.
*norm: 표준, 기준, 일반적인 것
*attest: 증명하다
[2] An advocate of this segregation policy, at least at study cafes, is Kim Si-song, a 28-year-old woman preparing for a state-run teacher employment exam. “I used to go to a study cafe where men and women study in the same place, and there was one time when a female customer accused some men of secretly taking pictures of young female students,” she said. It is not that all men are potential peeping toms, but she now prefers to go to study cafes that have a separate spaces for women only, to be free of any unnecessary worries, Kim said.
*advocate: 옹호자/ 지지하다
*segregation: 구분, 분리
peeping tom:* 엿보기 좋아하는 사람, 관음증 환자**
[3] Often, worries over voyeurism, harassment and other sexually-motivated crimes are the reasons behind gender segregation in public spaces or business establishments.
*voyeurism: 관음증
*harassment: 괴롭힘, 성희롱
[4] Separating men and women may be an easy way to address concerns over sex crimes, but it runs the risk of being an excessive restriction that removes any benefits of a gender mix, some say. A recent Supreme Court ruling has found a legal mandate on separation of men and women at private reading room facilities to be an excessive measure that infringes upon people’s right of self-determination.
*address: (문제를) 다루다, 처리하다/ 우편물을 보내다
*mandate: 율령/ 권한
*infringe: 위반하다, (법적 권리를) 침해하다
*self-determination: 자기 결정 권력

1. Ahn suggests unifying candidacy, ‘public primary’
기사 요약: 대선 국면에서 야권 단일화 요구한 안철수 국민의당 대선후보.
[1] Presidential candidate Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party on Sunday suggested unifying candidacies with the main opposition party’s Yoon Suk-yeol, and letting the public decide which of them will run.
*candidacy: 입후보, 출마
*run: 경쟁하다, 참여하다, 뛰다
[2] Ahn explained that, even if an opposition party candidate wins in the presidential election, consensus from the public is crucial as over half of the 300 seats in the National Assembly are occupied by lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea.
*consensus: 의견 일치, 합의
*crucial: 중대한, 결정적인
*lawmaker: 입법자
#legislator, politician, representative
[3] On Ahn’s proposal, the main opposition People Power Party stuck to their previous suggestion that its flagbearer Yoon and Ahn would privately discuss the campaign merger to come to an agreement on the ultimate candidate.
*stick to: 방침을 고수하다, 굳게 지키다
*flagbearer: 기수
*merger: 합병
*ultimate: 궁극적인, 최후의

2. What the Korean dictionary says about society
Revisions and new word additions reflect gender neutrality, yet leave out migrants and sexual minorities
기사요약: 국립국어원의 표준대국어사전 전면 개편, 양성 평등 표현은 개선됐지만 사회적 약자나 소수 시민에 대한 인식 부족에 대한 지적.
[1] Korean men who grew up in the 1980s or 90s would likely remember the first time they were taken to the barber shop, a transformative moment of entering the realm of men instead of tagging along with their mothers to join other women at the hair salon.
Hair salons are for women, and barber shops are for men. This was the mainstream view back then. But these places are no longer defined as such, and changing definitions in the Korean language reflect changes in society.
*transformative: 변화의, 전환의
*realm: 영역, 범위
*tag along: 따라가다
[2] According to the NIKL, when a certain word is widely used by the public and has a specific definition, it goes through a committee review and is added as a new word upon approval. Public opinion and recommendations by the Human Rights Commission of Korea also factor in the reviews.
*review: 검토, 비평
[3] Rep. Oh Young-hun of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea said that the NIKL’s official language is devoid of words related to social minorities or marginalized groups.
As of January 2021, there is no word in the official dictionary that refers to immigrant workers, or “i-ju-no-dong-ja” in Korean, despite its frequent use in popular discourse and government documents. The same goes for transgender or queer, although homosexuality (dong-seong-ae) and bisexuality (yang-seong-ae) are registered.

[3] However, concerns loom over the fledgling market as some market players lack an understanding of the legal restrictions related to the copyrighted work.

[1] Most people have a favorite show they watched growing up. Something we woke up for every morning, gave us endless topics and stories to think and talk about, and perhaps gave our parents a break while we were completely immersed in what was happening on the television.
*give somebody a break: ~에게 기회를 주다, ~를 너그럽게 봐주다
*immerse: ~에 몰두하다/몰두하게 만들다
[2] “Sesame Street” was ‘that show’ for 41-year-old Korean American Kathleen Kim. That’s why it was “a dream come true” when she became the puppeteer for the show’s first-ever Asian American character Ji-Young.
*dream come true: 꿈을 이루다/ 비슷한 표현: realized, fulfilled
*puppeteer: 인형술사
[3] “I remember being able to tell the time because I knew what time ‘Sesame Street’ was on, even before I knew how to tell time on a clock,” Kim said in an interview with The Korea Herald, smiling broadly. “It wasn't just about the ABCs and one, two, threes. It was also so formative and taught me about friendship, naming feelings, humor, and music. I can't believe that I get to be a part of it today.”
*broadly: 활짝 (웃다), 대략
*formative: (사람 성격 등의) 형성, 발달에 중요한
[4] There was intention in making Ji-Young specifically Korean American and giving her a Korean name, not a monolithic pan-Asian figure. In fact, the Sesame Workshop team and Ji-Young’s puppeteer focused on making the 7-year-old muppet look and sound as realistic as possible, “not prim and proper, but more like just a kid.”

[팟캐스트] (416) 계속되는 코로나에 흔들리는 자영업자/ 사회적 거리두기 효용성 의문
진행자: 최정윤, Paul Kerry
1. Amid prolonged pandemic, small businesses teeter over piling debt
요약: 코로나바이러스 장기화 사태와 거리두기 강화 등의 영향으로 전체 취업자 중 자영업자 비중이 39년 만에 최저 수준까지 떨어졌다.
[1] Facing tougher social distancing measures over a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, South Korea’s small-enterprise owners are struggling to make ends meet, resorting to laying off employees or borrowing money from banks, data showed Thursday.
*make ends meet: 겨우 먹고 살아가다, 수입과 지출의 균형을 맞추다
*resort to: ~에 의지하다, 기대다
*lay off: ~를 해고하다, / 명) (불경기로 인한) 강제,일시 해고
[2] The country had 5.58 million self-employed people registered as of June, accounting for 20.2 percent of the total 27.6 million employed workers in the same month, the smallest proportion in nearly 39 years, according to data compiled by the Korea Small Business Institute and Statistics Korea.
*account for sth: 1.~을 해명하다 (~의 이유가 되다) 2.설명하다 3.(부분, 비율을) 차지하다
*compile: (여러 자료를) 엮다, 편집하다
[3] The figures indicate that a large number of small merchants have laid off their staff to reduce operating expenses to counter a sharp decline in overall sales amid protracted social distancing rules, according to officials.
*indicate: 1.나타내다 2. 내비치다, 시사하다
*counter: 1.반박, 논박하다 2.대응하다(=counteract)
*protracted: 오래 끌다, 연장하다 / -ed: 오래 끈, 계속된
[4] It is notable that businesses run by self-employed people were not affected by the recent recovery momentum in the job market, which means management conditions faced by the nation’s self-employed people haven’t improved much,” said Roh Min-sun, a senior researcher at the KSBI.
*notable: 주목할 만한, 눈에 띄는, 중요한

2. Social distancing rules questioned amid surge in cases
요약: 제일 강력한 사회적 거리두기 4단계가 한 달 간 계속됐음에도 불구하고 신규 확진자 수가 줄지 않는 것을 두고 거리두기의 효용성에 의문이 제기되고 있다.
[1] Despite having its most restrictive social distancing measures in place for nearly a month, South Korea is still scrambling to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
*restrictive: 제한하는
*scramble: 재빨리 움직이다, 앞다투다
*curb: 억제하다, 제한하다
[2] “The fourth wave led by the delta variant, unlike the past waves, is characterized by faster spread and stronger infectivity,” Ministry of Health and Welfare spokesperson Son Young-rae said Sunday. “In addition, the combination of vacation season and fatigue from prolonged (social distancing measures) is making it take longer to control the virus.”
*fatigue: 피로
*prolonged: 오래 계속되는, 장기적인
[3] Because the country has yet to contain this stubborn fourth wave, on Friday the government announced that it would extend the Level 4 social distancing measures for two more weeks through Aug. 22 in the Greater Seoul area. The rest of the country will be put under Level 3 measures for the same period.
*contain: 1. ~가 들어있다 2. (감정을) 억누르다, 참다 3.방지하다, 억제하다
*extend: 1. 더 길게/크게/넓게 만들다 2.연장하다 3. 확대하다, 확장하다
[4] But as the virus continues to spread across the country, questions have been raised about the effectiveness of the restrictions. “It appears that (the measures) have slowed down the surge in the capital area and are turning it into a very gradual decline.”
*restrictions: 제한, 규제
*surge: 급증

*exposure: 노출, 알려짐

[2] At the forefront of this new trend is CU, a leading convenience store chain here. Its self-produced entertainment show, “CUperman” has garnered an accumulated 2 million views via its YouTube channel, Facebook and Instagram -- in just a month.
*forefront: 선두, 맨 앞
*to garner: 모으다, 얻다

*to endorse: 공개적으로 지지하다; 홍보하다
*reality show: 예능 프로그램
[4] While the new attempt has yet to produce a tangible impact on sales of the featured items, the company believes it freshens the chain’s brand image with young consumers, and will benefit the company in the long run, Yoo Cheol-hyun from the public relations department of BGF Retail told The Korea Herald.
*tangible: 실재하는; 만질 수 있는; 유형의

Among those with depression, the growth rate of women in their 20s was the highest at 31.7 percent on-year. For both men and women, the surge in cases of depression among people in their 20s and 30s was higher than that of other age groups.
*outnumber: 수적으로 우세하다, 더 많다
*on-year: 전년 대비 (=year on year)
[4] Rep. Lee pointed out that the public mental health issues and eating disorders should no longer be taken as personal problems or temporary symptoms caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
*eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia): 섭식장애
*be taken as~: ~로 받아들여지다, ~로 취급하다
[5] Last December, the government classified “coronavirus depression” as a disease code in the national health system. But they have not done enough to understand the overall state of people’s mental health in the course of the pandemic, Lee said.
*to classify: 분류하다
*in the course of~: ~하는 과정에서 (=during)

1. Culture Ministry amends translation guidelines for kimchi
기사 요약: 문체부는 공공 용어의 외국어 번역 및 표기 지침 훈령 개정안을 발표하고 김치의 중국어 번역 및 표기 용례로 제시했던 파오차이를 삭제했다.
[1] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on Thursday announced that it had made some changes to the translation guidelines for kimchi, which were published in July 2020.
*translation guideline: 번역지침
*make changes to - : -을 변경하다
[2] The new guidelines state that kimchi’s proper Chinese translation is “xin qi.” The ministry deleted a part that said “pao cai” -- a pickled vegetable dish eaten in China -- is an acceptable translation for kimchi, as it is the name that is already widely used in China.
*acceptable: 받아들일 수 있는
*widely used: 널리 사용되는
[3] In June, Naver’s V Live came under fire for translating kimchi as pao cai in an episode of BTS’ variety program “Run BTS!” At the time, Naver explained that the translation was in accordance with the Culture Ministry’s translation guidelines.
*under fire: 비난을 받고 있다
*in accordance with: - 에 따라
[4] Another change that was made to the guidelines was sundae and seonji. The original guidelines said that the acceptable translation is “blood sausage” or “blood cake,” but the Culture Ministry cited feedback that the translations could be uncomfortable for foreigners unfamiliar with the food, so they changed the names to “sundae” or “seonji.”
*cite: 인용하다
*unfamiliar: 낯선, 친숙하지 않은
2. [Newsmaker] Buddhist monks fined for breaching social distancing guidelines
기사요약: 방역 수칙 어기고 ‘음주파티’ 벌인 해남 승려들이 행정 처분을 받게 되었고, 조계사에서는 이에 대해 공식 사과문을 올렸다.
Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism apologizes for seven Haenam monks’ ‘drinking party’
[1] Buddhist monks are facing criticism after seven of them were caught having a private gathering in violation of local social distancing guidelines.
*face criticism: 비난에 직면하다
[2] According to the local government of Haenam in South Jeolla Province, there was a report of several Buddhist monks having a meal together with alcoholic drinks on Monday evening, when the region’s social distancing guidelines prohibiting private gatherings of more than four people had come into effect.
*come into effect: 실시되다
[3] A photograph showed eight people sitting at the same table with food and opened bottles at an accommodation facility owned by a temple in the southwestern coastal county of Haenam.
*accommodation facility: 숙박 시설
[4] After conducting an on-site inspection, the local government of Haenam said Wednesday that it had confirmed the violation of social distancing guidelines by a total of eight people -- seven Buddhist monks and the owner of the accommodation facility.
*on-site: 현장에서의
*confirm: 확인하다
[5] The county plans to impose a fine of 100,000 won ($86) on the seven monks and owner of the accommodation facility, who will also face a separate fine of 1.5 million won as a business owner and a 10-day suspension of operation.
*impose: 강요하다
*suspension 정직, 연기, 보류

1. [Weekender] Why is Kim Jong-un clamping down on millennials, K-pop and slang?
기사요약: 김정은 북한 국무위원장이 최근 K팝을 ‘악성 암(vicious cancer)’이라고 부르며 북한 내에 한류가 퍼지는 것을 경고했다.
[1] North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has a new concern: how to control the country’s younger generation.
The 37-year-old leader warned in April that “a serious change” was taking place in the “ideological and mental state” of young North Koreans, and that their ideological education was vital /to the survival of the party and the country.
*take place: 개최되다, 일어나다
*vital: 필수적인
[2] Furthermore, the reclusive regime has been cracking down hard on the attire, speaking habits and culture of North Korean millennials, also known as the Jangmadang Generation -- people in their 20s and 30s who grew up during the country’s famine /in the mid-1990s.
*reclusive: 은둔한, 쓸쓸한
*regime: 정권, 제도, 체제
*crack down (on): 엄중 단속 하다
*attire: 의복, 복장
*famine: 기근
[3] The clampdown against what the North calls “anti-socialist acts” appears to reflect concern that if the younger generation -- which has experienced capitalism and foreign culture -- goes unchecked, it could create cracks in the regime’s legitimacy and potentially jeopardize Kim’s dynastic grip on the country, observers say.
*clampdown: (기습) 단속
*go unchecked: 제멋대로 되어가다, 억제되지 않다
*legitimacy: 합법성, 타당성
*jeopardize: 위태롭게 하다

*in a bid to ~: ~하기 위해
*decline: 감소(하다)
*unveil: 덮개를 벗기다, 발표하다
[2] According to the ministry, the government plans to lower qualifications to obtain long-term residency, or a F-2 visa, for talented foreigners in “promising industries” that require support on a “national level.” Exactly which industries are to be included in the category has not been decided yet.
*obtain: 얻다, 입수하다
*residency: 거주
*promising: 유망한, 촉망되는
[3] The Justice Ministry is also considering to create a new residency visa for remote working foreigners in IT and other cutting-edge technologies. There were also plans to allow E-9 visa holders, or foreign workers in manual labor, to stay in the country.
*remote: 원격의, 외진, 먼
*cutting-edge: 최첨단
*manual: 수동의, 육체 노동의
[4] In South Korea, foreigners in fields like fishing, farming, manufacturing and other labor-intensive jobs reside under an E-9 visa. If the person meets government criteria, an E-9 visa can be changed to an E-74, or a nonprofessional visa, which guarantees long-term stay.
*manufacturing: 제조업

2. Cyworld comes alive again
요약: 페이스북과 인스타그램 이전 대한민국이 열광한 싸이월드가 다시 되살아난다.
[1] Cyworld, the dominant social networking site here before the era of Facebook throughout the 2000s, was set to reopen Monday evening, with many in their 30s and 40s ripe with anticipation to revisit their past.
*dominant: 우세한, 지배적인
*era: 시대
*ripe with ~: ~로 가득한
[2] With nearly 32 million members at one point, Cyworld was the uncontested champion of social media here, as the country’s younger generation spent hours decorating their own pages and digging up information about other people.
*nearly: 거의
*uncontested: 경쟁이 없는
*dig up: 캐내다, 파내다
[3] Major companies and universities eventually blocked access to Cyworld to stop employees and students from spending too much time there during working or school hours.
*major: 주요한
*eventually: 결국
*access: 접근
[4] Following the arrival of the iPhone in Korea in 2009, however, Cyworld slowly gave way to Facebook and others that ran mobile services, and even suffered a massive data leakage incident in 2011.

1. How Minecraft became R-rated game in S. Korea
요약: 청소년 및 어린이들 사이에서 인기있는 게임 마인크래프트가 ‘셧다운제’ 때문에 ‘성인용’이 될 처지에 놓여 논란에 관련 정부부처가 휩싸였다.
[1] Minecraft is a 3D computer game where players can build anything. Often described as “online Legos,” the bestselling video game of all time involves building blocks and creating structures across different environments and terrains.
*best-selling: 잘팔리는
*video game: 컴퓨터 및 콘솔 게임
*terrain: 지형
[2] In South Korea, however, the rather harmless game developed by Mojang Studios in 2009 is now only available for players 19 years of age and older.
*harmless: 무해한
*rather: 꽤, 상당히
*and older: ~세 이상
[3] Frustrated users are directing their anger at the country’s “shutdown law,” which blocks children under the age of 16 from playing online video games between midnight and 6 a.m. to protect them from side effects of playing games late at night and losing sleep.
*direct something at: ~에 향해서 겨냥하다
*side effects: 부작용
*lose sleep: 잠을 못 자다
[4] When Korea introduced the game regulation back in 2011, it posed technical challenges to global game companies. Establishing a new system that can filter out users of a certain age at a certain period of time in Korea might cause irrevocable damage to old servers.
*regulation: 규제
*pose: 제기하다
*irrevocable: 변경할 수 없는
[5] Instead of launching new servers dedicated to Korea, Microsoft simply changed its policy in 2012 and asked Korean users to certify through Xbox Live -- Microsoft’s online service for gaming -- that they are 19 years or older if they want to play Microsoft games.
*certify: 증명하다
*gaming: 게임하기

It may take more time for South Korean people to travel to Italy without a 10-day quarantine requirement as the nation has been excluded from an initial list of countries that are subject to the Italian government’s new quarantine-free travel scheme, called certificazione verde, or green pass.
*be subject to: ~의 대상이 되다
*initial: 초반의
*scheme: 계획

*fully: 완전히
*-free: ~없는
*present: 주다
Korea’s Foreign Ministry had also sought to get the green pass, but the request was not accepted. Korea reportedly asked the Italian government to include Korea, citing its successful control of the coronavirus pandemic and strong travel demand.
*seek to: ~하려 하다
*reportedly: 전하는 바에 의하면
Under Italy’s own quarantine rules, Korea is one of the lowest-risk countries, along with Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand. Italy is one of the most popular tourist destinations for travelers here, with almost 1 million Korean people visiting the country every year.

*backlash: 사회·정치적 변화에 대한 반발을 이르는 말

*former: (특정한 지위에 있던) 과거의 /전자의
*supreme council: 최고 회의
*political affairs: 정치에 관계되는 사무
[3] But online communities have seen complaints pour in as angry young job seekers, especially those preparing for the highly competitive civil servant exam, question the fairness of her appointment. “Most civil servants start as Grade 5 officials and it takes more than 30 years for them to become Grade 2 officials,” an association of aides to lawmakers at the main opposition People Power Party said in a statement.
*pour in: 쏟아져 들어오다
*highly competitive: 경쟁률이 높은
*fairness: 공정성
[4] President Moon Jae-in’s senior political secretary Lee Cheol-hee disputed that view in a radio interview on Tuesday. “Her capabilities have already been fully reviewed before the appointment,” he said.

*capabilities: 능력, 역량

2. Invitation to Metaverse
요약: MZ 세대의 놀이터인 3차원 가상세계 ‘메타버스’가 새로운 물결을 일으키고 있다.
[1] To those who have difficulty in grasping the characteristics of the younger generations of millennials and Gen Z -- pay attention to the “metaverse.” A combination of “meta” and “universe,” the term refers to a virtual world shared by people from the real world.
*grasp: 꽉 잡다, 움켜잡다/ 파악하다, 완전히 이해하다
*combination of A and B: A와 B의 조합
*refer to: 지칭하다, ~를 나타내다/ 참고하다
[2] In the beginning, it looked like nothing more than a game, or virtual playground for younger people. But it is now a serious world of a digital economy, where a virtual Gucci bag resold for $4,115, higher than its real-world value. Drawn to the huge potential the metaverse concept presents, businesses are getting ready to, or are already making the moves to, tap into the virtual world.
* serious: 심각한/ 진지한/ 중요한, 주목할 만한
*potential: 가능성
*make move: 조치를 취하다, 작업을 시작하다/ 수작을 걸다
*tap into: ~를 활용(이용)하다/ ~에게 다가가다
[3] “Since the main user base, consisting of the MZ generations, is highly attractive to retailers and fashion brands, many business-to-business partnerships are underway,” said a public relations official at Naver. It has raised profits from marketing collaborations with renowned brands like Nike and Gucci. Around 5 million Nike shoes have been sold in Zepeto, exceeding in-person offline sales.
*be underway: 시작되다/ 진행 중이다
*exceed: 넘다, 초월하다/ (허용 한도를) 초과하다
[4] Naver seeks to make Zepeto another complete world where the MZ generations can make a living, for example by making money from creating virtual products and services, and also go shopping with virtual money and enjoy in-world entertainment.

1. Pro-tattoo activists challenge “outdated” tattoo laws
-Medical license should not be required for tattooing, they say
요약: 최근 ‘타투업법 제정안’이 발의되며 타투업의 합법화 문제가 수면 위로 올랐다.
[1] Being tattooed has long been negatively viewed in Korea. Tattoos were once associated with criminals and mobsters, and it was common for those with visible tattoos to be looked down upon and discriminated against in public spaces.
*mobsters: 조직 폭력배
*be looked down upon: 천대를 받다
*be discriminated: 차별을 당하다
[2] But with the growing number of tattoo artists and tattoo recipients in recent years, discussions about whether to ease limits on tattooing have grown, along with the political will to bring about regulatory changes. A number of lawmakers have proposed bills similar to Ryu’s from as early as 2007, but all of them expired.
*recipients: 받는 사람 (대상자, 수신인)
*ease limit: 제한을 완화하다
*to expire: 만료되다
[3] The issue also gained steam earlier this month when images circulated of BTS member Jungkook appearing on national television with bandages covering the tattoos on his hands and arms. The Korea Communications Standards Commission prohibits showing tattoos on TV.
*to gain steam: 논의가 활발해지다; 힘을 얻다
*to prohibit: 금지하다
[4] Doctors have consistently voiced opposition to pro-tattoo laws, saying that allowing laypeople to administer tattoos would risk public health and fail to protect those with adverse symptoms after getting tattoos.
*laypeople: 일반인 (비전문가)
*to administer: 집행하다; 시술하다; 관리하다
*adverse: 부정적인

2. Stock gift to BTS members balloons to W150b

1. 36-year-old Lee Jun-seok becomes new leader of People Power Party
요약: 헌정 사상 최초 30대 이준석 원내교섭단체 대표 당선.
[1] Lee Jun-seok, a 36-year-old politician, won the leadership election for the opposition People Power Party, becoming the youngest ever leader of the nation’s main conservative party.
*opposition: 야당
*conservative party: 보수 정당
[2] Earlier, the People Power Party’s election commission conducted a vote on 328,000 electors from Monday to Thursday. The final winner was determined by a combination of votes from party members (70 percent) and opinion polls conducted on the general public (30 percent). The final turnout was 45.36 percent, the highest since mobile voting was introduced in 2017, and Lee won by 43.8 percent to Na’s 37.1 percent of the vote.
*conduct: (특정한 활동을) 하다, 지휘하다
*elector: 선거인, 유권자
*turnout: 투표자의 수, 투표율
[3] The victory of Lee, who has no significant political record and has never been elected to the National Assembly, reflects the widespread antipathy among the public to established politics and a desire for more fundamental changes in both ruling and opposition parties, political experts say.
*significant: (영향을 주거나 두드러질 정도로) 중요한
*widespread: 광범위한, 널리 퍼진
*antipathy: (강한) 반감
*established: 저명한, 자리잡은, 기득권

2. [Herald Interview] Eve: making inclusive condoms for everyone
요약: 다양한 성적 지향성을 존중하고 콘돔이 부끄러운 성인용품이라는 고정관념을 깨고자한 이브콘돔의 박진아 대표 인터뷰.
[1] It is not so often that companies in South Korea go out of their way to cater to the LGBTQ community.
*go out of sb way: 특별히 애를 쓰다, 노력하다
*cater to: ~을 충족시키다
[2] Eve, however, is not afraid to embrace everyone. With its gender-neutral models and simple product packaging, the sexual health brand is a far cry from the heteronormative narrative that has dominated the condom industry for years.
*embrace: 포옹하다, 받아들이다 수용하다
*gender-neutral: 성 중립적인
*far-cry: ~와 전혀 다른, 큰 격차가 있는
*heteronormative: 이성애 중심의
[3] To convey a message of inclusivity, the company relies on visuals to embrace people of all sexual orientations. Last year it featured ordinary people -- ranging from a producer and a YouTuber to a fitting model -- in a collection of promotional images. The firm wanted to hire as many models as possible from all walks of life so as not to make people feel excluded or discriminated against, the 29-year-old executive said.

*inclusivity: 포용력
*all walks of life: 사회 각계 계층

1. Will Constitution be revised to allow young president?
요약: 대통령 선거 출마연령(피선거권) 하향 조정을 위한 개헌 요구의 목소리가 나오고 있다.
[1] Politicians from ruling and opposition parties raise voices to change age limit for presidential candidates. Discussions on abolishing the age limit for presidential candidates are gaining traction in the wake of the sensation caused by 36-year-old Lee Jun-seok in the main opposition People Power Party’s leadership race.
*abolish: (법률·제도·조직을) 폐지하다
*traction: 끌기, 견인(력)
*in the wake of: ~에 뒤이어, ~의 결과로서
[2] Under the current Constitution, a candidate must be over 40 years old to run for president. The clause was first introduced in 1962 during the fifth constitutional amendment led by the military regime. In order for the Constitution to be revised, the motion needs the support of more than two-thirds of the National Assembly, and to be approved in a referendum.
*run for ~: ~을 부르러 달려가다, ~에 입후보하다
*clause: (법적 서류의) 조항, 조목
*referendum: 국민 투표, 총선거
[3] Kang Min-jin, 26, the leader of the youth chapter of the liberal minor Justice Party, was the first politician to ignite the debate at the 21st National Assembly. Kang pointed out in a press briefing on May 30 that “All presidential candidates speak of ‘youth’ but none of them are youth.” She said, “The constitutional provisions that prohibit those under 40 from running for president are discrimination and unfair. The removal of the 40-year minimum age guarantees everyone the right to be president.”
*ignite: 불이 붙다, 점화되다
*provision: (법령) 조항
*prohibit: (특히 법으로) 금하다
[4] Public opinion on the need for a constitutional revision remains divided, according to a recent poll. Last week, polling agency Realmeter released survey results on revising the age limit for running for president. It contacted 9,421 people aged 18 or older nationwide, with about 500 responding. According to the result, 50.3 percent of respondents said they “agree” and 44.8 percent said they “disagree,” while 4.9 percent said they “don’t know.”
*public opinion: 여론
*poll: 여론 조사, 투표

[1] The iconic superhero Batman will be created by a Korean writer and cartoonists, this time against the backdrop of Seoul.

*iconic: 상징이 되는, 우상의
*against the backdrop of: ~을 배경으로 해서

Throughout the localized anthology featuring Batman’s past and present, international voices are delivered by influential and talented writers.
*spurred by: ~에 자극되어, ~로 인해
*realization: 깨달음, 자각, 인식
*first of its kind: 그 종류의 첫번째의
*anthology: 작품집, 모음집
[3] “Batman: Moonin,” is the title featuring Korea and takes place in Jongno-gu, central Seoul. The plot unfolds as “Moonin,” a device that reads and visualizes human memories, is stolen while in development by a Korean company. The 184-page original Batman project is expected to launch worldwide on Sep. 14, both in digital and physical format.

1. [Weekender] The truth about biodegradable plastics
요약: 생분해 플라스틱 사용이 환경보호에 도움이 될까? 전문 퇴비화 시설 필요하다.
[1] Typically made from natural materials such as corn starch, biodegradable plastic is designed to break down naturally when it goes to landfills.
*break down: 고장나다, 부수다, 분해하다
*landfill: 매립지
[2] However, these efforts – and extra expenses -- might be in vain, as most of these products are incinerated after they are thrown away. Even if they end up in landfills, it is likely that they don’t break down as promised, since none of the landfills in South Korea provides conditions suitable for them to biodegrade.
*be in vain: 보람이 없다, 헛되이
*incinerate: 소각하다
*end up: 결국 (어떤 처지에) 처하게 되다
*suitable: 적합한, 적절한
[3] In Korea, the word “biodegradable” can be used for plastic that decomposes at a special, high-temperature environment in a lab -- meaning a reduction of substance of more than 90 percent in six months at a temperature between 56 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius. But there is no landfill in Korea that provides these temperatures.
*decompose: 부패되다
*reduction: 축소, 줄어들다

요약: 맥도날드와 BTS가 협업해서 만든 BTS 세트 개시 첫 날 현장에 가봤다.
[1] Under a light drizzle on Thursday morning, a group of young people stood outside a McDonald’s in Sinchon, Seoul, waiting in line.
Clad in her green BTS sweatshirt, Toni, an exchange student from India, introduced herself as a member of the Army -- the K-pop septet’s fandom community. With her two friends, also part of the BTS Army, she planned to come back for the same meal for dinner that day or for breakfast the next day.
*drizzle: 가랑비

[2] The collaboration campaign/ is part of McDonald’s Famous Orders program, /which the burger chain introduced in September /to reinvigorate its classic menu items /by linking them with celebrities.
*reinvigorate: 새로운 활기를 불어넣다
[3] While neither McDonald’s nor Hybe, the K-pop powerhouse behind BTS, responded to requests for comment over their contract, their joint project is likely to yield a handsome profit for both parties.
According Forbes, McDonald’s reportedly paid Scott $5 million (5.58 billion won) for the endorsement and another $15 million for merch sales.

1. ‘Funsumer’ products: milk-inspired body wash sparks safety fears
요약: 재미를 우선시 해 출시된 ‘펀슈머’ 제품들이 연속적으로 안전성 논란에 휩싸였다.
[1] Earlier this month, supermarket chain Homeplus announced a milk powder-scented body wash -- an unexpected three-way collaboration with LG Household & Health Care and Seoul Dairy Cooperative.
*scented
*three-way
[2] The result set the internet abuzz over its quirky packaging that takes the shape of cartons of Seoul Milk, the bestselling milk in the country.
*set something abuzz
[3] But the seemingly innocuous product, which has been described as part of the “funsumer” trend -- a portmanteau between “fun” and “consumer” in Korea -- soon faced backlash following a viral tweet which showed the milk-inspired body wash being sold alongside actual cartons of milk.
*seemingly
*portmanteau
[4] The tweet was accompanied by a photo that showed bottles of body wash, which had similar packaging to that of Seoul Milk cartons except for an additional dispenser, in a separate basket hung in front of the dairy aisle. Two bottles had already been taken.
*be accompanied by
[5] “It looks like two of them have been sold which is horrifying. What if it was elders who bought them?” the tweet read, apparently concerned that people would mistake them for milk. Homeplus said a warning sign has been added and the beauty product has been placed away from actual milk cartons to avoid confusion.

2. Illegally parked cars wreak havoc for drivers in Seoul
요약: 불법주차 문제로 고통 받는 서울시민들을 조명한다
[1] Paying fines for illegal parking has become a habit for Lee Hyeon-seok, a 34-year-old office worker based in Jung-gu, central Seoul, where finding a parking spot by his workplace is nearly impossible on most days.
*nearly
[2] Driving to and from his workplace, where designated parking space is not guaranteed, he spends most weekday mornings driving around every corner of the block trying to locate a spot that would be able to house his four-door sedan for eight hours.
*every corner
[3] He has cash waiting in his pocket waiting to pay for whatever space he finds. But on some days, he just can’t, eventually resorting to parking anywhere and taking the risk of paying the fine if a bill finds its way to his mailbox.
*resort to
[4] “I really try to live as a law-abiding citizen and a diligent employee who doesn’t come late to work, but if I can’t find a parking space in the morning, I have to give up on one of these two goals,” said Lee.
*law-abiding
[5] “I’m not a fan of illegal parking, and I’m sure most people feel the same way, but what other choice do I have when I just can’t find anywhere to park?”

[1] Park Yoo-mi, a disease control official at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, said in a daily press briefing Wednesday that the city government is considering a ban on outdoor drinking at all of its 11 riverside parks, some of the most populous leisure areas found within the city for residents and tourists.
* spurs: 자극하다

[2] The announcement follows the death of 21-year-old medical student Sohn Jung-min, who was found dead in the river late last month.

In light of the incident, calls have grown for authorities to ban outdoor drinking at riverside parks to help prevent similar incidents.
* In light of: …에 비추어; …을 고려하여
[3] The Seoul government is legislatively entitled to impose such restriction. A revision to the National Health Promotion Act that comes into effect on June 30 will allow local governments to designate public places as alcohol-free zones and impose a 100,000 won ($88.50) fine for violators.

요약: 청와대 국민청원 게시판에 국내 외국인에 대한 지방선거 투표권 부여에 반대하는 글이 올라왔다.
[1] Amid growing anti-China sentiment in the nation, some South Koreans are calling for foreign permanent residents’ right to vote to be abolished because a majority of them are Chinese.
*sentiment: 정서, 감정
*call for ~: ~을 요구하다
*abolish: 폐지하다
[2] On April 28, a petition was posted on the website of presidential Blue House with the title of “Foreigners’ voting rights (location election) are unconstitutional. It has to be abolished.” The writer of the post said, “(We) respect and don’t discriminate against foreigners. However, the right to vote is the unique right of the people of Korea.”
*petition: 진정서, 탄원서, 청원서
*unconstitutional: 헌법에 위배되는, 위헌인
*discriminate: 차별하다, 식별하다
[3] “Chinese nationals own 80 percent of foreign voting rights. This opens the door to China’s intervention in the Korean election, which is likely to be involved in presidential and parliamentary elections,” the writer added, although foreign nationals are not allowed to vote in presidential or legislative elections as the right is limited to elections for local authorities.
*intervention: 개입, 간섭, 조정
*legislative: 입법부의
[4] In less than two weeks, more than 43,000 people signed up to the petition. Since 2006, foreigners have had the right to vote in local elections if they have been permanent residents for three years or more. At the time, there was no public opinion against foreigners’ suffrage.

[1] Six hundred meters up a mountain in the southern part of the country’s longest range, Baekdu-daegan, stands a building in a clearing with a seed-shaped roof. But the above-ground structure of the Baekdu-daegan Seed Vault belies the true size of this sprawling underground structure.
*belie: 착각하게 만들다, 거짓임을 보여주다
[2] Officially launched in 2016 and designated a national security facility since 2019, the Baekdu-daegan Seed Vault’s main purpose is to secure biodiversity from threats such as natural disasters, climate change and war, to support sustainable life for human beings.

long-anticipated 오래 기다린
draw 자아내다, 끌어당기다
[2] Around 23,000 art pieces -- 21,600 antique works and 1,600 modern and contemporary works -- will be donated to a number of public museums around the country as well as to Seoul National University, according to Samsung.
antique 골동품
contemporary 현대의, 동시대의
[3] Experts welcomed the news that many of the works would be donated to smaller public museums dedicated to specific artists, pointing out that they often lack the funding to purchase major works by the artists to which they are dedicated. But not everyone welcomed the news that Lee’s collection would be split up.
be dedicated to -에 전념하는, 헌신하는
split up 분리, 분할하다. 헤어지다
[4] “It seems the collection will end up scattered in different entities across the country, which lowers the value of the collection. It would have been better to keep the collection as a whole at one place to showcase as Lee Kun-hee’s collection. That would have helped attract more attention and visitors to the works both from home and abroad,” said Choe Byong-suh, an honorary professor at Dongduk Women’s University.

[1] Hiking has become one of the most popular outdoor activities in South Korea. But with the increasing number of hikers, a critical environmental problem arises: litter.
*critical: 중대한, 비판적인

[2] While some ill-mannered hikers do not clean up after themselves, one group is trying to change the careless practice of leaving trash and garbage behind after a hike.

2. Koreans defend kimchi, ssam against Chinese claims
[1] Kimchi has been part of an ongoing issue between the two countries. In November, the Global Times, the Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpiece, falsely claimed it had received an international industrial standard for making kimchi with the certification of pao cai -- China’s pickled vegetable dish. However, the certification from the International Organization for Standardization clearly stated the standards do not apply to kimchi.
*ongoing: 계속되는, 이어지는
*falsely claim: 거짓 주장하다, 허위로 증명하다
[2] One of the most popular Chinese YouTubers, Li Ziqi also angered Koreans earlier this month when she uploaded a video of herself making what appears to be kimchi with the hashtags #ChineseCuisine and #ChineseFood. While some online claimed it was pao cai, which differs from kimchi in the preparation method and ingredients, the choice of ingredients and preparation method shown in Li’s video were very similar to that of kimchi.
*angered: 화나게 하다, 분노케 하다
*differ from: -와 구분되다, 다르다
[3] Meanwhile, Seo Kyoung-duk, a professor of Sungshin Women’s University who is known for his active promotion of Korean culture overseas, placed ads in both the US and international editions of the New York Times on Monday, showing a photo of kimchi with the caption: “Korea’s Kimchi, it’s for Everyone.” The half-page ad also briefly lists the history of kimchi.
*briefly: 간략하게, 간단히
*promotion: (1) 홍보 (2) 진급
[4] “In preparing this advertisement, I discussed with many advertising and kimchi experts. Rather than responding to each one of China’s ‘kimchi appropriation,’ I wanted to tell the accurate facts of kimchi in a concise way to the people around the world,” Seo posted on social media on Tuesday alongside the page from the New York Times with the ad. The ad was made possible with a sponsorship from an organization, he said without elaborating.

1. 2020 records one of three warmest years ever: WMO
[1] The year 2020 was one of the three warmest years ever on record, the World Meteorological Organization, a world weather body under the United Nations, said Thursday. “The confirmation by the World Meteorological Organization that 2020 was one of the warmest years on record is yet another stark reminder of the relentless pace of climate change, which is destroying lives and livelihoods across our planet,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
*on record: 기록된
*stark: 냉혹한, 삭막한
*relentless: 수그러들지 않는, 끈질긴
[2] The UN chief pointed out that the world is already facing unprecedented weather extremes in every region and on every continent. “We are headed for a catastrophic temperature rise of 3 to 5 degrees Celsius this century,” he said. “Making peace with nature is the defining task of the 21st century. It must be the top priority for everyone, everywhere.”
*unprecedented: 전례 없는, 사상 초유의
*catastrophic: 파멸의, 대변동의, 비극적인
*priority: 우선 사항
[3] The decade 2011-2020 had also been the warmest ever, the WMO explained, showing the ongoing long-term climate change. The warmest six years have all occurred since 2015, with 2016, 2019 and 2020 being the top three. The differences in average global temperatures among the three warmest years were indistinguishably small, the world weather body said.
*decade: 10년
*indistinguishably: 구분이 안 되게
[4] The average global temperature in 2020 was about 14.9 C, which is 1.2 C above the preindustrial (1850-1900) level. La Nina, a naturally occurring cooling climate phenomenon, put a brake on the heat only at the end of the year, the WMO explained.

2. Police, taxi drivers join forces to find missing people
[1] South Korea’s taxi drivers and the police are joining forces to find missing people, the National Police Agency said Thursday. In the event of a missing person’s report, depending on the details and circumstances of the case, the police will first determine whether to dispatch a message to KaKao Mobility, the operator of Korea’s biggest taxi-hailing app Kakao T.
*join forces: 힘을 합치다, 협력하다
*dispatch: 보내다, 발송하다
*hail: (택시 등에) 신호를 보내다, (훌륭한 것으로) 묘사되다
[2] Once the police decide to do so, they will set the scope of the targeted search area and send a description of the missing persons to Kakao Mobility. The app’s operator, upon receiving the message from the police, will then distribute the information to taxi drivers in the targeted region.
*scope: 범위, 기회
*upon ~ing: ~하자마자
*distribute: 나누어 주다, 분배하다
[3] In order to encourage taxi drivers to cooperate, the police said it plans to show their gratitude by giving out rewards to drivers if their reports play a crucial role in finding the missing persons. Thursday’s announcement from the police is a nationwide expansion of an existing system which has already been implemented in certain regions, such as in Gyeonggi Province, since 2016.
*encourage: 권장하다, 격려하다
*gratitude: 고마움, 감사
*crucial: 중대한, 결정적인
*expansion: 확대, 확장
[4] The number of Kakao T taxi drivers across the country is currently estimated at 230,000, accounting for 85 percent of the total. “We expect that the cooperation with Kakao T taxi drivers will greatly help secure the safety of our citizens,” a National Police Agency official said.
*estimate: 추정하다, 추산
*account for: (부분, 비율을) 차지하다, 설명하다

1. Eased regulations on e-scooter spark concerns
[1] Safety concerns are mounting ahead of the implementation of relaxed rules that will enable teenagers to ride electric scooters without a license, among other changes, amid a growing number of accidents caused by the popular new mobility option.
*mounting: 증가하는
*ahead of: ~앞에, ~을 앞두고
*electric scooters: 전동킥보드
[2] Under the current Road Traffic Act, electric scooter riders must be at least 16 years old and have a motorcycle license. When the revised law takes effect Dec. 10, those aged 13 and older will be allowed to ride e-scooters on cycling paths, with no penalty for not wearing a helmet. The speed limit of 25 kilometers per hour is the only restriction that operators will have to comply with.
*under: ~아래에, ~에 따르면
*take effect: 효력을 발휘하다, 시행되다
*comply with: 지키다, 준수하다
[3] But experts and some members of the public say the revision is prioritizing traffic convenience over safety, without considering factors that could lead to confusion and disruption among riders, nonriders and service providers.
*prioritizing: 우선순위를 매기다, 우선시하다
*disruption: 혼란, 중단, 붕괴
[4] Thanks to their affordability and convenience for traveling short distances, the number of shared e-scooters in Seoul has soared from 150 in 2018 to 35,800 as of August this year. The phenomenon has resulted in a spike in injuries -- from 49 cases in 2016 to 890 cases last year, according to the Samsung Traffic Safety Research Institute.

2. Netflix becomes major Hallyu medium
[1] With many Korean dramas and movies heading to Netflix, the platform, with services in 190 countries, is becoming a major medium for the spread of Korean pop culture. Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency’s African sector recently mentioned Netflix as one of the reasons for the popularity of Korean culture in South Africa.
*medium: 매체, 수단, 중간의
*mention: 언급하다, 거론하다
[2] The Chicago Council on Global Affairs announced in October that South Korea’s favorability is at 60 on a zero-to-100 scale, the highest yet. Besides favorability rising because of Korea’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Korean programs reaching US audiences through Netflix was seen as a key factor.
*favorability: 호감도
*on a A-to-B scale: A에서 B사이의 기준으로
*handling of: ~의 처리
[3] Netflix’s role in spreading Hallyu is even bigger in Japan, where Korean movies and dramas on Netflix are capturing Japanese viewers. For example, tvN’s hit drama “Crash Landing on You” starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin started showing on Netflix in February.
*capturing: 사로잡다, 포착하다, 포획하다
*starring: 주연을 맡은
[4] In addition, Korean TV dramas such as JTBC’s “Itaewon Class” and tvN’s “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay,” among others, have been at the top of the country’s Netflix charts for months, with the main characters’ fashion and hairstyles grabbing particular attention.

*cause an uproar: 분노를 촉발하다
*handle: 다루다
*cub: 포유류 동물의 새끼
*sanitary gloves: 위생 장갑

요약: 코로나 시대에 홈술 인기, 와인 대중화 가속화
[1] With the growing popularity of imported wine -- mostly affordable wines from ever-diversifying regions, including Eastern Europe -- a major shift in Koreans’ wine consumption pattern is underway. And the coronavirus-triggered stay-at-home culture is accelerating its arrival.
*ever-diversifying: 어느 때보다 다양해진
*underway: 진행중인
*triggered: 촉발된
[2] A myriad of choices -- in terms of the grape and soil differences as well as the regional and climatic varieties -- have often left aspiring wine buyers and learners frustrated. As each choice carried a hefty price tag, Korean consumers were inhibited from taking the first step.
*myriad: 무수히 많은
*aspiring: ~가 되려는, 잠재적
*hefty: 크고 무거운, 두둑한
*inhibit: 억제하다, 제약을 가하다.

*cumulative: 누적되는
*asylum: 망명
*screening: 검정제도
[2] While the government remains concerned about the increase in what it sees as “fake refugees” -- those abusing the refugee system to seek economic opportunities -- activists say there is a long road ahead for Korea to guarantee rights and proper protection for asylum-seekers.
*abuse: 남용, 오용, 학대
*asylum-seeker: 망명신청자
[3] Criticism from activists centers on procedural flaws in the refugee screening process and its protracted time frame, stemming from a shortage of specialized personnel and a prejudice that most of those seeking asylum are economic migrants.
*protracted: 오래 끈, 계속된
*stem from: ~에 기인하다, 유래하다

*strutting: 점잔 빼며[으스대며] 걷는; 거드름 부리는

[2] This year, it may be difficult see any of these scenes unfold as the COVID-19 pandemic has halted on-site fashion shows. In their place, the fashion industry has begun to embrace online shows.
*unfold: 1. (접혀 있는 것을) 펴다 2. (어떤 내용이 서서히) 펼쳐지다

*new-normal: (경제학에서 처음 사용된 용어) 시대 변화에 따라 새롭게 부상하는 기준이나 표준

2. [Feature] Migrant workers denounce 'modern-day slavery' in Korea
요약: 16년간 지속되어 온 고용허가제가 외국인 근로자들을 오히려 궁지에 몰아넣고 있다.
[1] The Employment Permit System is supposed to be a win-win solution for South Korean employers struggling to find workers and Asian workers seeking higher-paying jobs overseas. The 16-year-old system, however, has been criticized for leaving workers vulnerable to abusive practices and even “slave-like” exploitation by employers. At the center of the dispute is a clause in the legislation that effectively bans workers from changing workplaces.
*win-win solution: 윈-윈 (모두에게 유리한, 모두가 득을 보는) 해법
*vulnerable to someone/something: (~에) 취약한, 연약한
[2] A migrant fisherman from Timor-Leste, who wanted to be identified only as Lopes M., endured appalling working conditions and human rights violations on a small island for years. He was virtually locked up and isolated on Gaeyado, off the coast of Gunsan, as he was not allowed to leave without permission from his employer. He was dispatched to other workplaces several times, in breach of his employment contract. He earned about 2 million won ($1,765) per month, which he found out only recently because his employer had kept his bankbook.
*appalling 간담을 서늘케 하는, 끔찍한
*in breach of 위반, ~의 파괴[파기], ~을 저버림
[3] Lopes M. first came to Korea in July 2014 and worked for his boss on Gaeyado for four years and 10 months. He got a second work permit in 2019, valid for another four years and 10 months, on the condition that he stay with the same employer.
*on the condition that 조건부의

1. S. Korea to resume discount coupon scheme to boost domestic consumption
요약: 정부는 지난 8월 선보였다가 코로나19 재확산으로 중단한 소비쿠폰 발행을 오는 22일부터 전시와 공연, 영화, 체육 분야 위주로 재개한다.
[1] South Korea, as of Sunday, has decided to resume its discount coupon program, after suspending it in mid-August due to a resurgence of the coronavirus, to invigorate domestic spending amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But concerns persist that the consumption scheme could again lead to a virus flare-up, alongside skepticism over its actual long-term effect on the economy.
*invigorate: 기운 나게 하다, 활성화하다
*persist: 집요하게 계속하다, 끊임없이 지속하다
*flare-up: 확 타오르다, 갑자기 재발하다
*skepticism: 회의론, 의심
[2] The scheme -- part of the government’s 90.4 billion-won ($76.2 million) domestic spending revitalization plan -- distributes coupons tied to eight different areas in the cultural, leisure and services sectors, by the end of the month, according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
*scheme: 계획, 제도
*distribute: 나누어 주다, 분배하다
*Ministry of Economy and Finance: 기획재정부
*Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism: 문화체육관광부
[3] It would give discounts of some 30,000 won to 40,000 won for accommodation reservations, benefits worth 8,000 won per person for performing arts tickets and 10,000 won for credit card users that spend more than 20,000 won when they dine out every fifth time. Some of the coupons were partially distributed in August, but the government abruptly halted the program when the country’s daily coronavirus cases shot up later in the month and remained in triple digits for weeks.
*dine out: 외식을 하다
*partially: 부분적으로
*abruptly: 갑자기
[4] While government officials have vowed to be cautious and set up additional health and safety measures to contain a possible resurgence of virus cases, experts have said that the coupon scheme could trap the economy in a vicious cycle of resurgence and stricter measures.
*vow: 맹세하다
*resurgence: (활동의)재기, 부활

2. What will Korea do with dead solar panels?
요약: 국내 태양광 시설이 늘어나고 있지만, 수명이 다 한 장비의 처리에 대한 준비가 미흡하다는 지적이 나온다.
[1] When solar panels are used for around 25 years, they are defined in Korea as being “dead.” They are typically composed of 76 percent glass, 10 percent polymer, 8 percent aluminum, 5 percent silicon and 1 percent other metals including copper and silver. Once “dead,” they are recycled or sent to other countries for use there.
*defined as: ~로 정의하다
*be composed of: ~로 이루어진, ~로 구성된
*including: ~을 포함한
[2] In Korea, when dead solar panels are collected, those in good shape are exported to countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan for use there. Those in poorer shape are disassembled from their aluminum frames after which they are typically incinerated or buried underground. This is because recycling process costs much more than the income that can be generated from retrieving the metals they contain, such as silver and copper, and selling them.
*disassemble: 분해하다, 흩어지다
*incinerate: 태우다, 소각하다
*retrieve: 되찾아오다, 회수하다
[3] Due to profitability issues, there is also only one privately run recycling center that can deal with dead panels. It’s capable of processing about 3,600 tons of panels a year, which will soon be far smaller than the amount of dead panels that will pile up.
*profitability: 수익성
*deal with: ~을 다루다
*capable of: ~할 수 있는
*pile up: 많아지다, 쌓이다
[4] To address the problem, the government is building a public recycling center with a capacity of 3,600 tons, which is set for completion in the second half of next year. Also, another privately run recycling center with a capacity of 2,500 tons will be completed 2022.
*address: 연설하다 / (문제, 상황 등에 대해) 고심하다, 다루다
*second half of next year: 내년 하반기

[4] According to the Global Times, under the Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily newspaper, the speech enraged Chinese online users because it reflects a “one-sided attitude.”
*enrage: 격분하게 하다

[3] “I am going on self-guided travel,” he said on camera at the airport. “Coronavirus isn’t going to disappear in a day or two. I just can’t remain at home all the time,” he responded when asked about concerns surrounding his trip, amid the government’s advice to refrain from nonessential travel.
*nonessential: 필수가 아닌
[4] Lee’s trip comes as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ special travel advisory, issued in March, remains in effect. The ministry is still asking the public to either cancel or postpone all overseas travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and has extended the travel advisory until Oct. 19. People in Korea were also urged to refrain from long-distance travel and stay home as much as possible during the recent five-day Chuseok holiday.

요약: 떡이 단순히 명절때만 먹는 음식이 아닌, 젊은 세대의 간식으로 변신하는 중
[1] One of the traditional foods associated with Chuseok is tteok, or rice cakes. In recent years more tteok treats have strayed from traditional flavors, and cooking methods targeting younger customers have been coming into the spotlight, with social media marketing leading the trend.

*treats: 특식
*stray from: 벗어나다 (차별화를 두다)
*flavor: (음식 등의) 맛, 풍미

[2] One of the missions for tteok companies was to make tteok a delicacy not just for the traditional holiday seasons, such as Chuseok and Seollal, or Lunar New Year‘s Day, but for every day -- something that could rival Western desserts.
*delicacy: 별미
*every day: 매일
*rival: 필적하다, 대등하게 견주다
[3] As a result, a wave of change has been stirring the tteok market, starting with the introduction of fusion tteok in the mid-2010s. With catchy names and unique tastes, new types of tteok such as “drug tteok” and “life tteok” have gained popularity on social media.

370회 코로나 사태와 함께 심각해지는 일회용 플라스틱 사용/ 봉준호 감독의 할리우드 리메이크작 ‘해무’
진행자: 김혜연, Kevin Lee Selzer
1. War on single-use plastics faces another setback as virus fears resurge
요약: 코로나 19와 함께 다시 한 번 직면한 일회용 플라스틱 사용 문제
[1] Coronavirus cases have surged again in Korea, and so has the use of single-use plastics. As the country struggles to curb a second wave of COVID-19 infections, people are buying food and drinks via takeaways or deliveries that come in plastic packaging.
*surge: 밀려들다, (감정이) 휩싸다, 급등하다
*curb: (특히 좋지 못한 것을)억제하다, 제한하는 것
[2] Official data has yet to be compiled, but environmentalists say it is evident that the heightened Level 2 social distancing scheme, imposed nationwide in mid-August and to last until Sept. 20, is boosting waste from disposable packaging.
*impose: (새로운 법률·세금 등을) 도입하다, (의견 등을) 강요하다
*boosting: 신장시키다, 북돋우다, 훔치다
[3] The food delivery app companies do not have control over how their partner businesses package their food and beverages. Restaurants and cafes have increasingly chosen to pack items in disposable plastic boxes, as customers worry about catching the virus from dishes someone else has used.
*control over: - 에 대한 통제
[4] South Korea in February opened up regulatory legroom for restaurants and cafes to reintroduce plastic and paper cups for in-store customers until the virus outbreak is brought under control.
*legroom: (자동차· 비행기· 극장 등에서) 다리를 뻗을 수 있는 공간
*in-store: (백화점· 슈퍼마켓 등) 매장 내의
[5] Environment activists are asking the government to adopt a longer-term perspective and provide support for entities with sustainable ideas to contain the virus. If such leeway remains open, the country would never be close to the set of environmental goals it pronounced, they claim.
*leeway: (무엇을 자신이 원하는 대로 하거나 변경할 수 있는) 자유
*pronounce: (격식을 차려서 공식/공개적으로) 표명하다

요약: 봉준호 감독이 참여하는 할리우드 리메이크작 ‘해무’
[1] Oscar-winning auteur Bong Joon-ho is to join the production of the Hollywood remake of “Sea Fog,” a 2014 South Korean thriller. Bong was the producer of the original film.
*auteur: (독창적·개성적인) 영화감독
[2] American film studio Participant -- which produced feature-length titles “Dark Waters,” “Green Book,” and “Contagion” -- is in charge of the project, according to US entertainment media outlet Deadline. Matt Palmer, who made his feature debut with Netflix thriller flick “Calibre” (2018), will direct the English-language film.
*feature-length: 장편 극영화 길이의
[3] Bong of “Parasite,” who served as the executive producer of the original “Sea Fog” -- known as “Haemoo” in Korean -- is teaming up with Participant and Palmer as the producer of the English adaptation. Kim Tae-wan, CEO of Lewis Pictures, which produced the Korean original, and producer Choi Doo-ho, who worked with Bong on “Snowpiercer (2014)” and “Okja (2017),” are also joining the team.
*team up (with somebody): (~와) 한 팀이 되다, 조를 짜 일하다, 협력하다
[4] The directorial debut by Shim Sung-bo centers around a little-known tragedy that occurred in 2001. The crew members of the Korean fishing ship Taechangho allegedly threw overboard the bodies of 25 Chinese stowaways after they died of suffocation while hiding inside the ship’s fish storage compartment, trying to enter Korea. The film received several local film awards and was selected as Korea’s entry to the foreign-language film category of the 87th Academy Awards.
* directorial: (영화·연극) 감독의
* threw somebody/something overboard: (쓸모 없다 싶은 것을) 없애다

1. Cramming in the time of coronavirus
요약: 코로나19 대유행으로 비대면 수업과 같은 불안한 상황 속 대학 입시를 준비하는 수험생의 어려움
[1] The final year in high school has always been tough for Korean students. But it is harder than ever this year thanks to the coronavirus outbreak and the disruptions it has caused in almost every aspect of life.
*tough: 힘든, 어려운, 강인한
*disruption: 붕괴, 분열, 중단, 혼란
*aspect: 측면, 양상
[2] The virus has forced schools to close for months and already caused the national college entrance exam date to be postponed once. And last week, with just three weeks left before the application opens, over 100 colleges announced revisions to admission rules in a bid to reduce the risk of virus infections.
*postpone: 연기하다, 미루다
*revision: 수정, 변경
*in a bid to: ~하기 위해
[3] Amid confusion and anxiety, high school seniors and other college hopefuls are struggling to stay focused on the exam. It is an exam they have been preparing for their entire teenage years, the outcome of which will not only determine whether they will go to university, but can shape every aspect of their lives.
*amid: ~가운데에, ~속에
*confusion: 혼란, 당혹
*anxiety: 불안, 염려, 걱정
[4] Following the first peak of COVID-19 infections in February and March, South Korea saw a sharp rise in infections in August, mostly in Seoul and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province. That prompted another closure of schools and kindergartens in the capital area until mid-September.
*peak: 정점, 최고조, (산의) 봉우리
*Seoul and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province: 수도권 (서울과 에워싼 경기도)
*prompt: (형) 즉각적인, 신속한 / (동) ~하도록 하다

2. Discussion over BTS members' military service reignited
요약: ‘빌보드 핫 100’ 정상에 오른 BTS와 함께 다시 고개 든 군 복무 이슈
[1] K-pop sensation BTS becoming the first Korean act to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart with its recently released single has reignited a debate over the seven members’ military service. Under the current law, all able-bodied South Korean men are obliged to serve in the military for 18 to 22 months.
*top: (동) ~를 능가하다, 1위를 하다
*reignite: 재점화하다
*oblige: 의무적으로 ~하게 하다
[2] The band’s eldest member Jin, whose legal name is Kim Seok-jin, has to start military service before the end of next year, according to Big Hit Entertainment. Jin was set to begin his military service this year after turning 28, but the BTS’ agency said that the singer was able to push it back for a year as he is enrolled in an online graduate school program. The law allows master’s degree students to delay military service until they turn 29.
*eldest/oldest: 최고령의, 가장 나이가 많은
*enroll: 등록하다, 입학하다
*master’s degree: 석사 학위
[3] Introduced in 1973, the military exemption law allows classical musicians and athletes who have won awards in state-recognized domestic and international competitions to serve in alternative service or be exempted from military service. The law does not apply to pop artists like BTS.
*exemption: 면제
*state-recognized: 국가가 지정한
*alternative: 대안, 대체 가능한
[4] This time around, there is a move to delay the BTS members’ military duty. On Thursday, Rep. Jeon Yong-gi of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea submitted a revised bill that aims to allow figures who’ve made great contributions in popular culture and arts to postpone mandatory military service. Jeon’s bill includes a proposal to allow a person to delay military service until he turns 30 upon recommendation by the Culture Minister and confirmation by the head of Military Manpower Administration.
*bill: 청구서, 계산서, 법안
*contribution: 기부금, 성금, 기여, 이바지
*mandatory: 의무적인

요약: 사랑제일교회 전광훈 목사가 정부의 방역 조치를 '사기'이라고 주장했다.

*put the blame on: ~를 비판하다
*thanks to: ~의 덕분에
[4] Since the first case in the church was detected Aug. 12, a cluster there had been linked to 1,117 infections as of Wednesday at noon. Some 1,400 people connected to the church still haven’t undergone testing, according to health authorities.
*detect: 감지하다

*keep a close eye on: 주시하다
*kick off: 시작하다
[2] The official slogan for this year’s festival, now in its 11th year, is “90 seconds, enjoy the subway!”

2. Shared space operator FastFive turns to small buildings for sustainable profits
요약: 코로나19 시대, 공유오피스 ‘패스트파이브’가 살아남는 비책
[1] Amid the growing need for a fresh approach in the already saturated shared space industry, local company FastFive is turning to small commercial building landlords to minimize initial expenditures and build a sustainable profit structure.
*approach: 접근법
*saturated: 포화되다
*shared space industry: 공유공간 산업
*landlord: 임대주
*sustainable: 지속가능한
[2] Kim Dae-il, chief executive officer of FastFive, told The Korea Herald in a recent interview that the company is looking to forge more partnerships with landlords of small commercial buildings instead of signing long-term lease contracts with landmark buildings in Seoul and neighboring areas -- conventional methods that have been pursued by international shared space giants like WeWork.
*landmark: 주요 지형지물
*conventional: 관례적인
*pursued: 추구되다
[3] FastFive does not sign a lease agreement with the landlord, but instead signs a partnership agreement that allows the operator to receive funding from the landlord, he said. The company uses the funds for various purposes, including upgrading the interior design of the leased space. Then, the operator manages the space and distributes the rental income from its tenants to the landlords. As a result, property owners receive the guaranteed portion of income monthly instead of a fixed rent under a conventional leasing agreement. FastFive offers five to 10 years for such partnerships.
*lease agreement: 임대차 계약
*operator: 사업자
*funding: 자금
*distribute: 분배하다
*tenants: 세입자
*landlord: 임대주
*property owner: 부동산 소유주
*fixed rent: 고정 월세

*express regret: 아쉬움을 표하다
*meet in person: 대면해서 만나다

*sweep: 휩쓸다
*reminiscent of: -을 생각나게 하는
*retro: 복고의
*appeal to: 호소력있게 다가가다

요약: 공정위, 테슬라의 불공정매매 조항 시정 조치 발표

1. [Weekender] Investing in stocks? Why not sneakers?
[1] Even non-sneakerheads are realizing the lucrative nature of sneaker resale these days.
O Jee-ye had never been much interested in expensive shoes. Shoes kissed ground-level microbes. They wore out much quicker than other items of clothing.
What shoes are for, O thought, was for protection. They were good if breathable, durable, didn’t give her blisters and matched the day’s outfit.
*sneakerhead: 운동화광
*lucrative: 수익성이 좋은
*nature: 성향
*microbes: 미생물
*wear out: 닳다, 헤지다
*durable: 내구성이 있는
[2] It was a shock for O when she learned through a close friend of hers that he easily makes 300,000 won ($250) a time by buying and reselling limited edition sneakers at a margin. That was nearly half her monthly rent in an average neighborhood in Seoul. What’s more, his profits were apparently nowhere near what the truly nimble resellers achieve.
*apparently: 듣자하니, 보아하니
*nowhere near: 거리가 먼, 도저히 미치지 못하는
*nimble: 잽싼, 빠르다
[3] These transactions were not without risks. Beguiled sneaker enthusiasts were sometimes misled to pay unreasonable rates for a pair of counterfeit shoes.
*transaction: 거래
*beguiled: 현혹된, 속은
*enthusiast: 열광적인 지지자, 팬
*mislead: 호도하다
*unreasonable: 불합리한, 지나친
*counterfeit: 위조된
[4] The culture of sneaker collecting is closely tied to the cultures of basketball and skateboarding. It dates back to the 1980s, when Michael Jordan emerged as an icon in the sports industry. His eponymous sneaker brand Air Jordan, launched 1984, became a status symbol for fans.
*be tied to 의지하다, 연결돼있다.
*date back to: ~까지 거슬러 올라가다
*emerge: 나오다, 드러나다
*eponymous: 어떤 사람에 관련시켜서 그의 이름을 붙이는.
*status symbol 높은 사회적 신분의 상징

2. [From the scene] Korea’s quarantine hotel is ‘contagion-free’
[1] South Korea has required a 14-day quarantine for all arrivals from outside the country since April 1. Passengers with symptoms are tested at airport checkpoints and either sent to health institutions or other quarantine sites, depending on the results. The rest go to quarantine hotels -- such as this one in Incheon, situated less than 10 minutes’ driving distance from the airport.
*require: 요구하다, 필요로 하다
*checkpoint: 검문소
*situated 위치해 있는
[2] Since being made over as quarantine housing on May 22, the five-star hotel has hosted 2,323 passengers. At its peak, all 450 of its quarantine-ready rooms were filled.
*make over: (다른 용도를 위해) 고치다, 바꾸다
*peak: 최고조, 꼭대기
[3] All passengers have their temperatures checked in the lobby and have nasal samples collected for testing. Then medical personnel examine them for symptoms and ask them to submit a questionnaire detailing their medical history. In addition, they are required to install a smartphone app that will guide them in checking symptoms for themselves.
*nasal: 코의
*medical personnel: 의료인
*examine: 검사하다
*questionnaire: 설문지 (survey, questionnaire?)
*medical history: 병력

1. New Zealand ups pressure on Korea to cooperate in diplomat sexual assault case
[1] New Zealand authorities have heightened pressure on South Korea to cooperate in its probe of a Korean diplomat who has been accused of sexual assault.
*heighten pressure on: (감정·효과를) 고조시키다, 압박하다
*probe of: 조사하다, 캐묻다
[2] Winston Peters, New Zealand’s deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister, urged the Korean government to cooperate by waiving the accused man’s diplomatic immunity and sending him to New Zealand to defend himself.
*waive: (권리 등을) 포기하다
*diplomatic immunity: 외교관의 면책 특권
[3] Korea’s former deputy ambassador to New Zealand, surnamed Kim, is accused of groping a male staffer on three different occasions in late 2017 while he was stationed at the Korean Embassy in Wellington. The case reemerged after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern raised the issue in a phone call with President Moon Jae-in last week. It is rare for such a topic to be discussed between two heads of state.
*groping: 손으로 더듬는, 암중모색하는
*stationed at: ~에 주둔하고 있는
[4] During the phone call, Ardern expressed her disappointment that the Korean government was unable to waive diplomatic immunity and allow the police investigation to proceed, local daily the New Zealand Herald reported Sunday, quoting Ardern’s spokesman. “The matter now rests with the Korean Government to determine any next steps,” the spokesman was quoted as saying.

2. Korea has 2nd-highest income gap in OECD
[1] The gulf between the haves and have-nots is wider in South Korea than in almost any other member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a recent analysis suggests, with only the US showing greater inequality.
*haves and have-nots: 가진 자와 못 가진 자
[2] The poverty rate is the percentage of people whose income is less than half the median household income, according to the organization’s definition. If a country’s median household income were 40 million won ($33,500) per annum, the poverty line would be 20 million won.
*per annum: 1년에 (연율)
*poverty line: 빈곤선 (최저한도의 생활을 유지하는 데 필요한 수입 수준)
[3] Korea posted a poverty rate of 17.4 percent -- the second-highest among the 35 economies analyzed. The US poverty rate stood at 17.8 percent.
*stand at: -에 서다, -을 나타내다
[4] A research analyst said “the nation’s middle-income bracket has collapsed, and a large portion of middle-income households should be reclassified as part of the low-income bracket.”
*bracket: 괄호, 범위, 등급
*reclassify: 재분류하다
