Why are Koreans obsessed with 'elevating national prestige?'
Why are Koreans obsessed with 'elevating national prestige?'
왜 한국인은 '국위선양’에 강박감을 가질까
Exempting pop music personalities from compulsory military service, just like Olympic medalists and award-winning classical musicians, has become a contested political issue again as the debate over whether or not BTS members should enter military service has heated up. 그룹 방탄소년단(BTS)이 군대를 가야 하는지에 대한 논의가 연일 뜨거워지며 올림픽 메달리스트와 수상한 클래식 음악가처럼 대중 음악가도 병역의무에서 면제시키는 것은 논란을 일으키는 정치적 이슈...

Korea's farms hit hard as pandemic leads to foreign worker shortage
Korea's farms hit hard as pandemic leads to foreign worker shortage
한국 농업, 팬데믹으로 인한 외국인 노동자 부족으로 타격 커
Koo Jin-taek, a vegetable farm owner in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, would normally be harvesting thousands of heads of lettuce during the spring season, but instead, he had to destroy his crops, as there was simply no one to harvest the perfectly tradable vegetables. 경기도 안성에 있는 야채 농장 소유주 김진택 씨는 평소 같으면 봄 시즌 동안 수천 개의 상추 잎을 수확했겠지만 대신 농작물을 폐기 해야 했는데, 단순히 완벽히 거래 가능한 채소를 수확할 사람이 없었...

Yoo Jae-mun, a 33-year-old office worker who has been living alone for three years and recently moved to Gangneung, Gangwon Province, has been struggling to find healthy food to eat. 3년 째 혼자 살고 있는 직장인 유재문 씨(33)는 최근에 강원도 강릉으로 이사했는데, 건강에 좋은 음식을 찾으려고 애쓰고 있다.

How COVID-19 has altered perceptions of face masks
How COVID-19 has altered perceptions of face masks
코로나19는 어떻게 마스크에 대한 인식을 바꿨을까
It isn't an exaggeration to say that face masks have become the new normal in Korea, as nearly two years have passed since they have become mandatory in public places amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 진행 중인 코로나19 팬데믹 속 공공 장소에서 마스크 작용이 의무화된지 거의 2년이 지난 지금 한국에서 마스크를 착용이 '뉴노멀’이 되었다고 말하는 것은 과장이 아니다.

한국의 복잡한 나이 체계는 어떻게 지속되었나
"How old are you?" Answering this simple question often becomes a challenge for foreign nationals living in Korea who are not yet familiar with the country's unique system of counting one's age. “나이가 어떻게 되세요?” 아직 나이를 세는 한국의 독특한 체계에 익숙하지 않은 한국에 사는 외국 국적 사람들에게 이 간단한 질문에 답하는 것은 때로는 어려운 과제가 된다.

Job market yet to show robust recovery despite improved figures: experts
고용 시장, 수치 향상에도 견실한 회복은 아직
Korea's job market is still far from entering a phase of robust recovery despite remarkable improvements in employment statistics. 고용 통계의 눈부신 개선에도 불구하고 한국의 고용 시장은 여전히 견실한 회복 국면에는 진입하지 못했다.

윤석열 정부 경제팀, 성장과 인플레이션 균형 잡아야
President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol's economic team led by Choo Kyung-ho, his nominee for deputy prime minister for economic affairs, faces a tricky job of effectively juggling both growth and inflation as the Korean economy reels from the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic amid soaring prices. 치솟는 물가 속 한국 경제가 코로나19 팬데믹의 부정적 여파로 고통 받아 추경호 경제부총리 후보자가 이끄는 윤석열 새 정부의 경제팀은 성장과 인플레이션을 효율적으...

Korea begins transition to 'post-Omicron' era
한국, '포스트 오미크론’ 시대로 전환
As COVID-19 infections are gradually showing signs of slowing down, the government is gearing up to shift to a "post-Omicron" era, in which the coronavirus might be treated as an endemic disease and COVID-19 might be managed more routinely within the general medical system. 코로나19 감염이 점차 감소세를 보이자 정부는 코로나 바이러스가 풍토병으로 취급되고 코로나19가 일반적 의료 시스템 안에서 일상적으로 치료되는 “포스트 오미크론” 시대로 전환하기 위해 ...

한국, 코로나19 점진적 엔데믹에 대비
The government is mapping out a gradual "return to normalcy" scheme by treating COVID-19 as endemic, as daily infection cases are showing clear signs of decline. 코로나19 일일 신규 확진자 수가 뚜렷한 감소세를 보임에 따라 정부는 코로나19를 풍토병으로 취급하는 점진적인 '일상 회복’ 계획을 세우고 있다.

Minimum wage policy faces major overhaul under new administration
최저임금 정책, 새 정부에서 대대적 개편 예정
The incoming administration headed by President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol will seek to overhaul the country's highly controversial minimum wage policy in a bid to help small businesses reeling from the economic fallout of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. 윤석열 대통령 당선인이 이끄는 새 행정부는 연장된 코로나 팬데믹의 경제적 실패로 인해 고통 받는 소상공인들을 돕기 위한 노력의 일환으로 논란이 많은 한국의 최저임금 정책을 개편할 예정이다.
