진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel 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 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10729298

진행자: 홍유, Tannith 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 compulsive: 강박적인 기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10721400

진행자: 홍유, Tannith 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 기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10722194

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] average: v. 평균이 ~ 이 되다 기사 전문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10721173 [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰): https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립 (아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

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 기사 전문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10720417 [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰): https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립 (아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel 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 compromise: 타협하다, 절충하다 abstain: 절제하다 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10716066

진행자: 최정윤, Tannith Kriel '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. malicious: 악의적인 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10717174

진행자: 간형우, Devin Whiting What does Mideast conflict have to do with Korean seniors? 기사 요약: 장기화되는 중동 분쟁으로 촉발된 석유 수급 불안 속에서, 출퇴근 시간대 노인 지하철 무임승차를 둘러싸고 혼잡 완화 효과, 형평성, 재정 부담 등 다양한 이슈가 제기되고 있다. [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 reignite: 재점화하다 [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 rotation: 순환 [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. divert: 우회시키다 congestion: 혼잡 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10710186

진행자: 간형우, Devin Whiting 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 accompany: 동반하다 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10708709

진행자: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor 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 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10704939 [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰): https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립 (아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

[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 bachelor: 미혼남 bachelorette: 미혼녀 efficient: 효율적인 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10701238 [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰): https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립 (아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

진행자: 홍유, Tannith 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 기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10698201

진행자: 홍유, Tannith 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 기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10691035

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 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10696336

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 illuminate: 불을 비추다, 밝히다 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10694511

진행자: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor '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.
