[1] Celebrity dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook and his dog training business Bodeum Company are facing criticism for allegedly mistreating employees.



* Face criticism: 비평을 마주하다

* Mistreat: (사람·동물을) 학대[혹사]하다



[2] According to several reviews on Job Planet, an online recruitment and job search platform, Kang and his wife Susan Elder, who serves as the company executive, surveilled employees' work messages that were sent using an instant messaging app, used violent language, gaslighted employees, and asked them to run excessive errands on their days off.



* Serve: 지내다

* Surveil: 감시하다

* Violent language: 폭언

* Errand: 심부름, (다른 사람을 대신해서 해 주는) 일



[3] "I quit here and got mental therapy due to panic disorder, anxiety disorder and depression," they wrote. "My mind has been devastated by the continuous gaslighting, blasphemy of character and continuous work requests after hours."



* Quit: (직장·학교 등을) 그만두다

기사 요약: 입양에 대한 편견을 갖고 있는 사회에게 가족은 꼭 피로 맺어지지 않고 사랑으로 맺어진다는 메시지를 전한 입양가족들



[1] When Jeon Sung-shin, 45, was looking to expand her family without going through childbirth again, she met her then 50-day-old daughter at an orphan care center 11 years ago.



* Expand: 확장하다

* Go through: ~을 거쳐가다

* Childbirth: 출산

* Orphan: 고아



[2] Jeon fell in love with her at first sight and knew adoption would be a beautiful way to build her family. Growing up with the family, Jeon's youngest daughter is now in the sixth grade and is a promising tennis player.



* At first sight: 첫눈에

* Adoption: 입양

* Build: 짓다, 만들어 내다

* Promising: 유망한, 촉망되는



[3] But Jeon said rearing her hadn't always been easy, mainly because adoption still carries so much stigma, especially in a country where the "primacy of blood" had been of paramount importance under the Confucian ideology.



* Rearing: 양육

* Stigma: 낙인, 오명

* Paramount: 다른 무엇보다 가장 중요한, 최고의

* Ideology: 이념



[4] "Unlike Western countries, Koreans often tend to refer to somebody's birth mother when talking about who is really their family. But the biological parent has no custody over the child because all the rights are transferred to the adoptive parent," Jeon underscored.



* Tend to: ~하는 경향이 있다

* Biological parent: 생부모

* Custody: 양육권

* Transfer: 이전하다

기사 요약: 합병 앞둔 대한항공, 전면 개편한 종합통제센터 (OCC) 최초 공개

variable 변화를 줄[변경할] 수 있는

 

[2] "Air operations are possible only when real-time communications, from transportation to operation to cabin maintenance, are smoothly organized and seamlessly prepared," said Korean Air President Woo Kee-hong during press conference held Thursday morning at the company's headquarters in Gimpo. "The public often regards 'service' as the core of airline operations, but more than 80 percent of Korean Air's 20,000 employees are involved in ‘safety’ related mission. This shows our high level of awareness and technological prowess in safe operations," Woo added.

prowess 기량[솜씨]

As of May, Korean Air has a fleet of 161 aircraft, including 138 passenger planes and 23 cargo planes, servicing 110 cities in 39 countries.

[4] Korean Air is awaiting the last approval from US authorities for its merger with Asiana Airlines, Korea's
second-largest domestic carrier. If granted, of which the airline expects to be decided by the end of this year, the merger could position Korean Air as one of the world's top ten mega-carriers, according to industry reports.

'Gimflation’ in S. Korea as dried seaweed prices grow on rising global demand

진행: 김혜연, Paul Kerry

기사 요약: '국민 반찬' 김 물가 상승에 더욱 커진 밥상 물가 부담

[1] Dried seaweed or gim, a staple dish nicknamed "rice thief" for its perfect pairing with rice, is seeing considerable popularity globally these days.

staple 주된, 주요한

pairing 한 쌍, 짝을 짓기

[2] In recent years, gim's deliciousness, coupled with its nutrient content and recognition as a food source beneficial to ocean ecosystems, has captivated taste buds worldwide, making its way into an unexpected array of dishes, served in salads, broths, casseroles, pizza and even occasionally sprinkled on ice cream.

beneficial 유익한, 이로운

captivate …의 마음을 사로잡다[매혹하다]

[3] Yet, despite the gim industry seeing a heyday here, ordinary people in Korea fear that the country’s humble, yet always satisfying trio on a table -- a bowl of white rice, kimchi and seasoned dried seaweed -- may one day no longer be considered a modest meal.

heyday 전성기, 한창때

modest 겸손한, 수수한

[4] In May, the average retail price of gim, in its most basic form roasted with no seasoning, is up over 80 percent from a year ago. Earlier this month, the Korean government lifted tariffs on imports of both dried and seasoned seaweed to stabilize local gim prices, effective until Sept. 30, after which the seaweed harvesting season begins.

roasted 구운

harvesting 수확, 거둬들이기

Mystery deepens after hundreds of cat deaths in S. Korea

 

기사요약: 최근 고양이들이 신경질환 등 증상을 보이다 급사했다는 신고가 잇따랐지만 원인이 밝혀지지 않아 반려인들이 불안감을 호소하고 있다.

 

[1] A wave of unexplained cat deaths has sparked a dispute between pet owners and authorities in South Korea, with owners unconvinced that the pet food thought to be at the center of the controversy was not to blame.

*dispute: 분쟁, 분규; 논란, 논쟁

*controversy: 논란

 

[2] According to local animal activist groups Life and Myoeon, a total of 513 cases of cats displaying similar symptoms -- acute neuromuscular diseases, high fever, elevated liver enzymes and kidney failure -- have been documented as of May 12. Of the affected animals, 181 have died.

*symptom: 증상

*acute: (질병이) 급성의

 

[3] The activists, citing owners, claimed that all affected felines have consumed cat food made by a single manufacturer from January to April this year. The manufacturer accused is a contract-based producer behind nearly 30 pet food products from various brands.

*felines: 고양이, 고양잇과 동물

*manufacturer: 제조자 [사]

 

[4] The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, however, found no correlation between the deaths and the suspected cat food in its investigation. It tested over 50 pet food samples currently available, including those suspected by cat owners, for 78 toxic substances, seven viruses and two types of parasites and germs.

*correlation: 연관성, 상관관계
