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

기사 요약: 사내 영어이름 사용 대신 한글 본명에 '님' 호칭 도입한 카카오게임즈



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 경계[한계](선), 분계선

*spectator 관중, 방청객, 구경꾼

기사 요약: 문체부-관광공사, 해외 방문객 대상으로 한국 콘텐츠에 기반한 관광상품 7종 선보인다

[1] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization are looking to woo Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern tourists with new Hallyu-themed tour packages.

*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. We have been discussing such issues and have assisted local travel agencies and content creators to sign a memorandum of understanding for greater travel experiences that can satisfy passionate Hallyu fans,” the ministry’s latest press release said.

*accessibility: 접근

*memorandum of understanding: 양해 각서 (MOU)

 

[3] “The new tourism products will be heavily promoted in Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, who have all been big Korean culture fans,” it added.

*promote: 촉진하다, 홍보하다, 승진시키다

 

[4] A total of seven Korean content-themed tours will be offered to tourists from these locations, including four day-trip programs in Seoul and its suburbs, two one-night trips to Busan or Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, and a three-day trip to Gangwon Province.

*suburb: 교외

기사 요약: 2월 식료품·음료 물가상승률 7% 기록한 한국, 2년 3개월 만에 OECD 평균 넘어섰다

*compound: 복합체, 악화시키다, 혼합하다

*severe: 극심한

*drought: 가뭄
