    아기 울음소리 커졌다, 9년 만에 반등한 출산율

    South Korea's birth rate rises for first time in 9 years 진행자: 박준희, Elise Youn 기사 요약: 지난해 한국의 출생아 수가 23만 8천여 명으로, 1년 만에 약 8천 명 증가했다. 출생아 수가 증가한 것은 2015년 이후 9년 만이다. [1] South Korea's fertility rate rose by 0.03 in 2024, breaking a nine-year downtrend, according to Statistics Korea on Wednesday. This came as the country has been suffering from a demographic crisis — a double whammy of a low birth rate and and increase in the elderly population — for nearly a decade. *downtrend: 하강 추세 *demographic crisis: 인구 위기 *double whammy: 이중고 [2] Statistics Korea attributes the improvement to the increase in the number of women in the childbearing age of early 30s, pent-up wedding demand following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and slight increases in the percent of Koreans who think positively about marriage and childbirth. *attribute: (~을 …의) 결과로 보다 *childbearing: 출산, 분만 *pent-up: 억눌린 [3] Despite the rebound, South Korea's birth rate will likely remain at the lowest level among 38 member nations of the Organization for the Economic Development and Cooperation, as 2022 estimates indicated South Korea was the only member country with a fertility rate lower than 1. *rebound: 반등 *remain: 남다 [4] The number of newborns here also reached 238,343 in 2024, up 3.6 percent from the previous year. The figure saw the first uptick in nine years, as the number of newborns in 2015 rose 0.7 percent to 438,420 and had since gradually declined until 2023. *previous: 이전의 *uptick: 상승 *gradually: 서서히 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10429076 [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

    00에 해당되는 나, 혹시 온실 속 화초?

    Are you living like 'a hothouse flower'? Viral checklist sparks buzz in South Korea 진행자: 박준희, Elise Youn 기사 요약: 최근 온라인 커뮤니티에서 화제가 된 "온실 속 화초 테스트." 이 테스트에 따르면 "살면서 알바를 해본 적이 없다," "의식주 걱정을 해본 적이 없다" 등의 항목 중 절반 이상에 해당하면 자신이 온실 속 화초일 가능성이 높다는 데... [1] The term “hothouse flower” metaphorically describes individuals who have led sheltered lives, shielded from the harsh realities of the world. The online post that Jin received featured a checklist of eight traits that, according to the author, define a sheltered individual, meaning a person shielded from financial, emotional or social struggles. *metaphorically: 비유적으로 *sheltered: 근심 걱정이 없는; 보호를 받는 *harsh: 혹독한 *trait: 특성 [2] It included characteristics such as having never had a part-time job, having only had ambiguous concerns in life -- such as school grades, future career and dating life, being born and raised in Seoul and attending private schools. *characteristics: 특징들 *ambiguous: 애매한; 불분명한 *concern: 걱정; 염려 [3] When asked why the hothouse flower checklist went viral, sociology professor Choi Hang-sub from Kookmin University told The Korea Herald that it is interconnected with how the spoon theory went viral in 2015, based on the idea that “being born into a family that is well-off gives you automatic advantages, while being born poor or less well-off holds you back.” *go viral: 입소문이 나다 *interconnected: 서로 연결된 *well-off: 유복한 *hold (somebody/something) back: ~을 저지하다; (진전, 발전을) 방해하다 [4] “The checklist can be considered to be ‘for fun’ and is lightheartedly used by some people to joke about being an ‘overprotected hothouse flower.’” *considered: 여겨지는 *lightheartedly: 가볍게 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10428602 [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

    봉준호, 6년 만의 신작도 여전히 인간 이야기 중심

    Bong Joon-ho still keen on human stories 진행자: 홍유, Elise Youn 기사 요약: 봉준호 감독은 6년 만에 선보인 신작 "미키17 (Mickey 17)"에 대해, SF 장르를 통해 인간 본성을 탐구하며 현대 사회의 노동 착취 문제를 다룬다고 밝혔다. [1] "I've never been freeloading," Bong Joon-ho quips with a mischievous glint. The Oscar-winning director is speaking to reporters at a hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, Wednesday, discussing his first film in six years. freeload: 빈둥거리다, 공짜로 얻어먹다 quip: 재치있게 말하다. mischievous: 장난기 있는 [2]The film "Mickey 17" stars Robert Pattinson in a dual role as expendable clones on a distant ice planet. It's Bong's fourth venture into science fiction, following "The Host" (2006), "Snowpiercer" (2013) and "Okja" (2017). But as with those earlier works, the director's interest lies more in human nature than technological speculation. expendable: 소모용의, 소모품인 human nature: 인간 본성 speculation: 추측 [3] For Bong, science fiction has been a lens through which to examine contemporary reality. His previous genre works — whether exploring environmental disaster in "The Host" or class warfare in "Snowpiercer" — used fantastical premises to illuminate present-day concerns. Mickey 17 continues this tradition, with its story of a disposable worker serving as a mirror for modern-day labor exploitation. premise: 전제 exploitation: 착취 [4] "Rather than focusing on the sci-fi elements, I was most strongly drawn to the concept of human printing itself," Bong says. "I wanted to explore Mickey as a person — this poor, kindhearted but pathetic young man, and how he might survive such extreme circumstances. Instead of grand philosophical worldbuilding, I wanted to look into Mickey's mind, his emotional state." pathetic: 한심한, 불쌍한, 비참한 circumstance: 상황 기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10424792
