[1] Korean IT giant Kakao joined AI Alliance, the global open-source community dedicated to the responsible development of artificial intelligence, becoming the first Korean firm to do so, the company said Friday.

*dedicated to: ~에 전념하는, 헌신하는

[2] “We will work together with the AI Alliance to establish an open AI ecosystem meeting the global standard for the open, responsible and safe development of AI technology,” Kakao AI Safety Leader Kim Kyung-hoon said. “We will take on the social responsibility as a digital tech firm, and make continuous efforts to strengthen AI ethics.”

*social responsibility: 사회적 책임

[3] Kakao has actively supported the ethical development of the rising technology, being the first Korean firm to announce its algorithm ethics in 2018.

*committee: 위원회

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.

*statistics: 통계

[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

[1] More registered voters than ever turned out for early voting on Friday and Saturday, further heating up the election race, with the Democratic Party of Korea claiming that it points to a possible advantage.

*turn out: 모습을 드러내다/ (결과가 특정 방식으로) 되다/ 바깥쪽으로 향하다

*claim: 주장하다(assert, declare) / 갖다

[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.

*turnout: 투표율, 참가자 수

[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

기사 요약: 배우 한소희와 류준열, 공개 연애 2주 만에 결별

[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.

* Go your own way: 서로 갈 길을 가다

* 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

[3] On March 16, Han wrote on her blog that she had started dating Ryu in early 2024 after he had ended his relationship with Hyeri in 2023. The blog post was just a few days after the new lovebirds were spotted at a hotel in Hawaii together.

* 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

Sephora exits Korea after years of losses

기사 요약: 글로벌 화장품 편집샵 세포라, 한국 시장 적자 끝에 철수

- withdrawal 철회, 철수

[2] "With heavy hearts, we have decided to cease operations in Korea. From May 6, we will gradually wind down our presence across online platforms, mobile applications and physical stores, ultimately withdrawing completely from the market," a social media post by Sephora Korea announced Tuesday.

- pending 미결의, 미확정의

Despite the ambitious flagship opening of its first store at the Parnas Mall in Seoul's posh Gangnam neighborhood in October 2019, attracting long lines on its first day, Sephora's presence in Korea lasted less than five years.

- ambitious (사람이) 야심 있는, (일이) 야심적인

- posh (값 비싸고) 우아한, 화려한

[4] First, the pandemic severely affected operations in Korea, rendering the strategy of experiential stores ineffective.

- occult flick 초자연적 현상을 다룬 영화

[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

[1] A recent survey showed that the vast majority of South Korean adults living with their parents in apartments have no plans to move out until they are married.

* Recent: 최근의

* Majority: 다수

* 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

* 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.

* Rising: 폭동하는

* Continuing: 계속적인

* Dependent: 의존하는

*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. "I've talked to both players, and resolving (such conflict) can bring (the team) closer together. What happened on the field should be resolved on the field," the 55-year-old said in a press conference at the Korea Football Association House in Seoul.

*interim: 중간[임시/과도]의

*resolve: (문제 등을) 해결하다

[3] South Korea is set to play Thailand twice later in the month for their Group C matches in the Asian qualifying tests for the 2026 World Cup. They will host Thailand at 8 p.m. on March 21 at Seoul World Cup Stadium, before heading to Bangkok for a March 26 match at 9:30 p.m.

*qualify: 자격[자격증]을 얻다[취득하다]

*match: 경기, 시합

[4] The fans and the national team are hoping the team could rebound from the bitter memory of the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup in Qatar last month, which entailed more than their 2-0 loss in the semifinals to Jordan.

[1] IU’s voice rippled through the KSPO Dome on Sunday as the lights dimmed to open the singer-songwriter’s final Seoul concert of her first world tour, "H.E.R.," which took place in the capital on March 2-3 and March 9-10.

*ripple: 잔물결을 이루다, 파문처럼 번지다

*dim: (빛의 밝기가[를]) 낮아지다[낮추다], 어둑해지다[어둑하게 하다]

[2] Reminiscent of dandelion spores, IU appeared from the ceiling wearing a glittering headset and slowly descended toward the stage, silently surrounded by her audience.

*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.

*bloom: 꽃을 피우다, 꽃이 피다

[4] The artist’s show was divided into five parts, each with a different theme. IU charmed the nearly 14,000-strong audience during the first "hypnotic" part of the show.

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

*altercation: 언쟁, 격론

[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

[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

[4] The marriage data follows closely on the heels of the news that the nation's fertility rate -- the average number of children a woman is expected to have during her lifetime -- dropped to a record low of 0.72 last year.

*on the heels of ~: ~를 바짝 따라서, ~후 즉시

Death & denial: Why Koreans refuse to contemplate the end 기사 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

Government sets deadline for doctors to return by Thursday 기사 요약: 의대 정원 확대 발표에 반발하고 나선 전공의들이 병원 이탈하고 의료 공백 커지자, 정부는 "목요일까지 돌아오면 책임 물지 않을 것"이라고 말해

[1] Amid lingering tensions between doctors and the government over the latter's plan to increase the medical school enrollment quota, the government has upped the pressure, issuing doctors with an ultimatum to return to work by Thursday.

*latter: 후자, 마지막 (〈-〉former 전자)

*ultimatum: 최후통첩 (final notice, warning, etc.)

[2] The government will not hold medical residents accountable for walking out if they return to work by the deadline, according to Interior and Safety Minister Lee Sang-min, who spoke at a briefing Monday. Previously, the government has warned of a possible suspension or revocation of medical licenses and even prosecution if doctors and medical residents do not return to work.

*hold accountable: 책임지게 하다, 책임을 물다/ hold sb accountable for sth/ accountable: 책임이 있는

*revocation: 폐지, 철회

[3] As of Friday 7 p.m., more than 10,000 junior doctors, or 80.5 percent of the country's, have handed in resignation letters at 100 training hospitals, while 9,000 of them stayed off work. 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

[1] A student was physically removed on Friday as he protested a research budget cut as President Yoon Suk Yeol delivered a speech at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology's commencement ceremony in Daejeon.

* budget cut 예산 삭감

* commencement 학위 수여식, 졸업식

[2] A clip of the student being carried out with his arms and legs lifted by bodyguards has gone viral in online communities. The video appeared to show some of the bodyguards were clad in graduation gowns.

* clad in …한 옷을 입은

[3] The student, identified as Shin Min-gi, one of some 3,000 graduates that day, was transferred to police after being detained at the campus, according to the minor progressive Green Justice Party. Shin has worked as a spokesperson of the party's Daejeon branch since November.

* detained (어디에 가지 못하게) 붙들다, 지체하게 하다

* spokesperson 대변인

[4] Yoon's office said in a statement that a "commotion" had occurred, and presidential bodyguards "separated the protester from the venue for safety reasons." The action corresponded to related security regulations, the office said, without clarifying which clause it referred to.

* commotion 소란, 소동

* clarify 명확하게 하다, 분명히 말하다

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.

* criminalize 범인 취급하다, 불법화하다

* obtain 취득하다, 획득하다

[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."

* complex regional pain syndrome 복합부위통증증후군

* grant 승인[허락]하다

[3] There, a pressing question arises: Should Korea grant the same choice to myelitis patient Lee, and other people who are in great pain or are terminally ill?

* pressing 긴급한, 거절[무시]하기 힘든

* terminally 말기의, 불치의

[4] For South Korea to find an answer, the conversation is only just beginning according to Park Joong-cheol, a family medicine and hospice doctor at Incheon St. Mary's Hospital and author of “I Want a Kind Death.” “In Korea, there has been hardly any social discussion on these matters,” he pointed out.

* conversation 대화, 논의

Loved like idols, canceled like demons

기사 요약: 이미지 타격 큰 ‘연예인 리스크’에 사건사고 터지면 발 빠르게 광고 손절하는 업체들

[1] The news that actor Lee Sun-kyun was being investigated for allegations of illegal drug use broke out on Oct. 19.

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. The fact that he tested negative for drugs multiple times throughout the monthslong investigation did little to sway public opinion that had turned cold on him.

* Break out: 발생하다

* From then on: 그 이후

* Disappear: 사라지다

* Sway: 흔들다

* Turn cold: 싸늘하게 변하다

[2] It is not a secret anymore that Korea’s pop culture scene places substantial demands on its celebrities – extending beyond their professional lives into their personal conduct as well. This situation compels them to train for many years before debuting and then afterwards, to maintain a positive public image and steer clear of controversies.

* Not a secret: 조금도 비밀이 없는

* Substantial: 상당한

* Personal conduct: 개인적인 행동

* Compel: 강요하다

* Steer clear of: (곤란한 상황 등을) ~을 피하다

[3] In the realm of TV productions, if an individual associated with social controversies makes an appearance, the production team typically finds itself in the position of having to re-edit every scene featuring the implicated star extensively.

* Realm: 영역, 범위

* Associate with: ~와 어울리다

* In the position of: ~의 입장에

* Implicate: (나쁜 짓·범죄에) 연루되었음을 보여주다

Korean TV programs show former couples together amid cultural shift

기사 요약: 옛 연인·배우자 소환하는 요즘 예능...환승연애 3 흥행, 이소라-신동엽 함께 출연+달라진 시대상 반영

[1] South Korean entertainment shows which invite past lovers on the program are gaining popularity. Following a shift in Korean culture towards more openly discussing past relationships, there is an increase in audience demand for shows to more directly fulfill innate desires, according to experts.

* Invite: 초대하다, 초청하다

* Shift: 변화, 이동

* Demand: 요구

* Innate: 타고난, 선천적인

[2] Tving's hit dating reality series "Transit Love" brings together men and women who once dated but broke up and invites them to live together for a certain period. The show centers around participants grappling with decisions about who to end up with, between their past lovers and potential new romantic interests.

* Bring together: ~를 모으다

* Center around: ~에 집중하다

* Grapple with: ~을 해결하려고 노력하다

* End up with: 결국 ~하게 되다

[3] "I ended up watching the entire 'Transit Love' series because the show realizes an impossible concept, which is bringing together broken couples and publicly broadcasting the process of them reuniting with their past loves, or seeing their past lovers seek new love," said Kim Hye-won, a college student in her fourth year living in Seoul.

* Entire: 전체의

* Realize: 실현하다

* Reunite: 재회하다, 재결합하다

* Seek: 찾다

[4] "I found such a dating reality show format really unique. It was portraying a concept that was largely shunned in the Korean dating reality show industry. Korean dating reality shows usually highlight the heart-fluttering process of people meeting new people," she said.

* Unique: 독특한, 특별한

* Shun: 피하다

* Highlight: 강조하다

* Heart-fluttering: 설렘

Pet cloning in Korea raises concerns over bioethics, regulatory void

기사 요약: 유튜버의 죽은 강아지 복제 소식에 반려견 복제 기술에 대한 국내 기준, 규정의 모호성 지적받아

[1] A pet owner nuzzles her puppy Tico after months apart in a heartwarming video uploaded to YouTube on New Year’s Day. But this is no ordinary reunion.

*nuzzle 코[입]를 비비다

*heartwarming 마음이 따뜻해지는

*reunion 재회[재결합]

[2] Tico died in November 2022. The puppy in the video is a clone made to replace her. For some viewers, this last detail adds a bitter aftertaste to the touching scene.

*replace 대신[대체]하다

*aftertaste 뒷맛

[3] Animal rights advocates have expressed concern over what cloned dogs go through, and what the surrogate mothers to the cloned pets have to go through to meet the desires of a single pet owner. The lack of transparency within pet cloning laboratories adds further concern.

*surrogate 대리의, 대용의

*transparency 투명도[투명성]

[4] Animal cloning is legal in South Korea, but the country has no regulatory framework to monitor and restrict abuse that might arise in the process. The South Korean YouTube video, titled “My Dog is Back,” sparked controversy online as it revealed how the owner cloned her dog.

*framework (판단·결정 등을 위한) 틀

*arise 생기다, 발생하다

New Year's Eve drone no-show in Busan spurs outrage

기사 요약: 부산 수영구 광안리해수욕장에서 새해를 기념하기 위해 마련됐던 대규모 드론쇼가 통신 장애로 취소됐다. 이날 드론쇼를 직접 보기 위해 현장을 찾았던 수많은 시민들이 분통을 터뜨렸다.

[2] Online community platforms and social media were abuzz Monday with complaints over the sudden cancellation of the Gwangalli Marvelous Drone Light Show, a New Year event that was to be held over the Gwangandaegyo bridge around midnight for the countdown. It was delayed and ultimately canceled at around 12:30 a.m.

진행자: 최정윤, Beth Eunhee Hong Farewell to credit cards: Cash-only trend surges as young Koreans tackle overspending

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

[1] Despite digital progress and surging online transactions, a notable consumption trend is emerging among South Koreans in their 20s and 30s, as an increasing number of them are opting to use physical cash over credit card transactions in their daily lives.

*emerge: 생겨나다, 부상하다/ 어둠 속에서 모습을 드러내다

*opt to: ~를 선택하다

[4] "I would spend about 1 million won ($770) solely on food delivery apps, but after switching to cash payments, the expenditure fell almost 70 percent,” 32-year-old Kim Ji-hye told The Korea Herald....More recently, young people began to scrutinize each other's spending habits in public chat rooms called "geojibang." or beggars' rooms, on KakaoTalk. In one such online community birthed this year, participants would refer to themselves as beggars and share their lists of expenditures -- along with harsh words of encouragement to promote stricter saving.

*expenditure: 지출, 비용, 경비/ 소비

*scrutinize: 세심히 살피다, 면밀히 조사하다

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.

* warranat: v.정당/타당하게 만들다(=justify) n.영장

*underlying: (겉으로 잘 드러나지 않지만) 근본적인

기사 요약: 한국인이 크리스마스날 케익을 찾는 현상과 그 유래

[1] Ever wondered what Koreans most enjoy on their Christmas dinner tables?

*wonder: 궁금해하다, 경이로운 것

[2] While the classic yuletide meal of turkey and stuffing are hard to find and there's no specific Korean Christmas dish, people often turn to a special treat enjoyed on other special occasions: cakes.

*yuletide: 크리스마스 계절

[3] Sharing a cake after a Christmas meal, which could be anything from a takeaway pizza and fried chicken to a more special menu, has become a cherished holiday tradition for many Korean families, with some splurging upwards of 200,000 won ($152) on extravagant desserts crafted by luxury hotel delis.

*cherish: 소중히 여기다, (마음속에) 간직하다

*splurge: 돈을 물 쓰듯 쓰다

*extravagant: 사치스러운, 낭비하는, 화려한

*deli: 사전에 조리된 음식을 파는 유형의 상점

[4] The demand for Christmas cakes in Korea shows no sign of slowing down this year, with bakeries and hotels from all tiers announcing their lineup of aesthetically pleasing Christmas confections for early reservation.

*tier: 단계

*aesthetically: 미적으로

*pleasing: 즐거운, 만족스러운

*confection: 당과 제품 (과자, 케이크 등)

*median: 중간의

- aftermath 여파[후유증]

[4] The boycott started in July 2019, when Japan imposed an import ban on key materials essential for Korea’s chip and display manufacturing industry amid mounting historical tensions. The measure immediately led to a boycott of Japanese brands such as Uniqlo.

*Day laborer: 일용직 근로자

*Low-income: 소득이 낮은

*Regular job: 정규직

[2] Those employed and paid daily without a regular job feared they would have an average 41.8 percent chance of suffering a "lonely death," compared to 28.6 percent for those with regular jobs, according to data from a survey by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs released Sunday.

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

2. 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

[2] The Education Ministry in June announced that it would exclude "killer questions" -- excessively difficult questions, the material for which is often not covered in the public education system.

*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.

*retaker: 다시 하는 사람

2. Billboard-topping boy band Stray Kids returns to 'rock'

*A-time B-topper: B를 A번 우승한

*grand: 웅장한

[2] Marking the eight-member group's return after five months is EP "Rock-Star," which continues from the past album, "Five-Star," a mega-hit album that had landmark successes, including its third-straight Billboard 200 No. 1 hit.

*landmark: 역사적인, 기록적인, 획기적인

[3] It was a highly anticipated return, and the eight men were overflowing with renewed charisma as they went in front of the press on Friday morning during a press conference, decked out in simple yet classy black suits matching their bold demeanor.

*anticipated: 기대하던

*decked out in: ~로 차려입은

*demeanor: 행실, 태도

1. S. Korea, Thailand to work to resolve entry denial claims

기사 요약: 한국 정부, 태국과 체류 및 입국 심사 불만 문제 논의할 의사 밝혀

[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)

- timeframe 기간

[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.

- quoted as saying 인용된, 발췌된

- amnesty 사면

[4] A string of social media posts about experiences of being denied entry to Korea and deported -- despite proof of accommodation and a return ticket -- prompted a backlash over the past week. Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin earlier Tuesday vowed to look into the issue.

- prompt 즉각적인, 지체 없는

- vowed 맹세[서약]하다

2. Talks on Goryeo artifact's repatriation resume a decade later

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.

- reliquary 성유물함

- fall through 완료[실현]되지 못하다

[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.

- dedicated to -에 전념하는, 헌신하는

- refusal 거절, 거부

[3] On Monday, Hyemun issued a press release announcing that he had set up a meeting with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, on Tuesday to negotiate the relic's return.

- issue 발표[공표]하다

- negotiate 성사시키다, 타결하다

[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.

- inquire 문의하다, 묻다

- hold significance ~에 의미가 있다
