진행자: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor 기사 요약: 서울패션위크가 외형 확장에 속도를 내는 가운데, 서울이 세계적인 패션 도시로 도약하려면 어떤 차별화된 경쟁력을 갖춰야 할지 짚어봐야 한다. [1] The biggest change at Seoul Fashion Week this season was a second location. For the first time, the event split between Dongdaemun Design Plaza and the World Park at Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, a site intended to bring fashion closer to shoppers and tourists. change: 변화 location: 위치 split: 나뉘다 intended to: ~할 의도이다 [2] The 2027 spring-summer edition, which closed Sunday, was also the most ambitious version yet. Kimhekim, which built its international reputation at Paris Fashion Week beginning in 2019, held its first show at Seoul Fashion Week, backed by Adidas. Pieces on the Jamsil runway carried QR codes linking to Lotte Department Store's online mall. ambitious: (일이) 야심적인 reputation: 명성 backed by: ~에 의해 지원·후원받다 piece: 옷, 의류 작품, 개별 패션 아이템 [3] But the new location offered an awkward picture of Seoul's ambitions. The runway was set inside a small temporary structure in a garden. Anyone arriving for the spectacle of a major international fashion week found something considerably less impressive than the DDP hall it was meant to complement. awkward: 어색한, 곤란한 runway: 패션쇼 무대 spectacle: (굉장한) 구경거리, 행사 impressive: 인상적인 [4] The rest of the week had the same quality of an ambition arriving under-resourced. A K-lifestyle street at DDP paired 18 brands, barely even heard of, with street food, beauty and wellness, an obvious play for foreign visitors. It sat largely empty. So did the trade show floor. under-resourced: 자원이 부족한 barely: 간신히 heard of: ~에 대해 들어본 적이 있다 *hear of: ~에 대해 듣다 empty: 비어 있는 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10864997 [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: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor 기사 요약: 최근 K팝 시장에서는 브라질 리듬을 앞세운 곡들이 잇따라 등장하고 있다. 그 중심에는 강렬한 타악기 사운드와 분당 120~150회의 빠른 박자가 특징인 ‘브라질 펑크’가 있다. [1] Brazilian funk is gaining a stronger presence in K-pop, with some of the industry's leading acts turning to the hard-hitting rhythms born in South America. gain: 얻다, 획득하다 presence: 존재 leading: 리드하고 있는, 선두의 hard-hitting: 강렬하고 타격감 있는 [2] But Brazilian funk — sometimes introduced in K-pop through the closely related term favela funk — is hardly new to the industry. NewJeans' 2023 hit "ETA," for instance, incorporated favela funk into a track produced by 250. The song became a global hit, reaching No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. funk: 강한 피트의 음악 장르, 펑크 hardly: 거의 ~않다 incorporate: (일부로) 포함하다 produce: (창작 활동을) 제작, 창작했다 [3] Other major K-pop acts were exploring the sound around the same period. Tomorrow X Together teamed up with Brazilian pop star Anitta and production duo Tropkillaz for "Back for More" in September 2023, while Aespa released a Brazilian funk-infused Tropkillaz remix of "Better Things" that same month. major: 주요한 act: 가수, 아티스트 explore: 탐험하다, 살피다 team up with: ~와 협동하다 [4] Three factors help explain its appeal. The first is musical compatibility. Brazilian funk's forceful percussion, repetitive rhythms and explosive peaks fit naturally with K-pop's performance-heavy format, particularly for acts built around powerful choreography and visual identities. appeal: 매력 compatibility: 양립[공존] 가능성 forceful: 힘이나 에너지가 가득한 explosive: 폭발적인 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10865341 [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

Foreign workers enter troubled market 기사 요약: 한국이 요양보호 인력 부족에 대비해 외국인 유학생을 요양보호사로 양성하는 정책을 시작했지만, 전문가들은 근본적인 처우 개선 없이는 외국인 인력 유입만으로 문제를 해결하기 어렵다고 지적했다. [1] South Korea’s rapidly aging population has created an issue that is at once demographic and deeply personal: Who will care for the growing number of older people? at once A and B: 동시에 A 이면서 B deeply personal: 지극히 사적인, 나와 직결된 [2] The arithmetic appears daunting. Korea is projected to face a shortfall of roughly 116,000 eldercare workers by 2028, according to government data.

[1] Ahn Ha-young’s rising career has hit a major roadblock after comments about her family history sparked backlash over allegations that her great-grandfather was linked to Japan’s colonial rule of Korea, just days before Liberation Day on Aug. 15. hit a roadblock: 난관에 부딪히다 spark backlash: 반발을 촉발하다 [2] The uproar has revived the debate over whether descendants should be held accountable for their ancestors’ actions — with experts stating the Korean public increasingly places more weight on how descendants conduct themselves today than on their lineage alone. revive the debate: 논쟁에 다시 불을 붙이다 hold A accountable for B: A에게 B의 책임을 묻다 lineage: 혈통, 가계 [3] The issue at hand emerged during Ahn’s promotional campaign for "Our Sticky Love," Netflix Korea’s highly anticipated romantic comedy, which premiered globally last week. at hand: 당면한, 가까이에 있는 [4] Ahn, who made her acting debut in 2019, has spent much of her career in supporting roles, appearing in projects including the hit series "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" and "Doona!" "Our Sticky Love" marks one of her first major leading projects. supporting role: 조연 [5] At a time when Ahn was gaining prominence, her mentions of her family background on several television programs resurfaced, with one of the most recent examples being her Aug. 7 appearance on KBS’ variety show "Problem Child in House." During the show, Ahn said her great-grandfather had opened a Western-style clinic in Hanyang (Seoul's former name) and treated Emperor Gojong. She added that her grandfather, father and older sister are doctors, making hers a four-generation family of doctors. to gain prominence: 주목받게 되다, 부상하다 [6] Although Ahn did not identify her great-grandfather by name during the broadcast, online speculation soon pointed to Ahn Sang-ho, a doctor who practiced during Japan’s colonial rule of Korea. to identify (someone) by name: 이름을 밝히다, 실명을 거론하다 speculation: 추측 기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10839083

진행자: 간형우, Chelsea Proctor Why Seoul can’t shake its sewer smell 기사 요약: 서울의 하수구 악취는 하수관 내 유기물 부패와 복합식 하수관, 적은 강수량 등이 주요 원인으로 꼽힌다. 하지만 노후하고 복잡하게 얽힌 하수망을 전면적으로 개선하기는 어려워, 각종 대책에도 불구하고 악취 민원은 좀처럼 줄지 않고 있다. [1] Occasionally, a sharp odor hits pedestrians as they walk along Seoul’s sidewalks. Although the smell often disappears within seconds, complaints have been repeatedly raised by residents and visitors. odor: 냄새 pedestrian: 보행자 complaint: 불평 [2] Posts describing sudden bursts of sewer-like odors can easily be found in both Korean and international online communities. burst: 터짐 [3] According to a 2025 report by the Seoul Institute, sewer-related smells account for about half of the city’s civil complaints regarding bad odors. While complaints declined after Seoul launched sewer odor reduction measures in 2015, they have since rebounded. reduction: 축소 rebound: 다시 튀어 오르다. 반등하다 [4] The city has made efforts to tackle the issue for more than a decade, but the growth in complaints raises questions over whether it has been doing enough. tackle: (힘든 문제·상황과) 씨름하다 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10834570

[1] At Korean convenience stores, the liquor aisle's most valuable real estate is changing hands. Eye-level shelves once dominated by 500-milliliter beer cans and green soju bottles are increasingly filled with colorful ready-to-drink cocktails and bottles of lower-alcohol flavored soju, as Koreans drink less and seek lighter options. real estate: 부동산 change hands: 주인이 바뀌다 eye-level: 눈높이 [2] The changing shelves reflect a broader decline in Korean alcohol consumption. Liquor shipments totaled 3.15 million kiloliters in 2024, down 17.3 percent from a decade earlier, according to Statistics Korea. reflect: 반영하다 decade: 10년 [3] Average monthly household spending on alcoholic beverages fell 9 percent on-year to 13,000 won ($9.20) in the first quarter, the steepest decline since quarterly tracking began in 2019. household: 세대 steep: 가파른, 급격한 [4] The shift accelerated during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as corporate after-work drinking declined and demographic changes combined with "healthy pleasure" and "sober curious" trends. sober: 술 취하지 않은 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10832697

[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 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10820386 [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: 박준희, Chelsea Proctor 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 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10812754 [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] 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.

[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

[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

[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

[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.

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
