Find the answer at the bottom. There are many rituals or occasions in which people do certain actions three times in South Korea, such as in the parliament, when the speaker bangs the gavel exactly three times to conclude something. When children encounter disagreements and need to reach a decision, they often resort to playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. One ground rule is to play a set of three rounds, referred to as "samsaepan," unless they agree otherwise. Similarly, when people gathe

You wouldn’t think that it would be that hard to kill someone. History indicates that we’ve always been good at it. It took only one generation before Cain killed Abel in a fit of jealousy over divine approbation. Murder had been invented and we’ve never looked back. In fact, we’ve only gotten better at killing. Cain must have used a club or rock on Abel, but in modern times our killing capacity has gone ballistic -- literally. We’ve invented powerful and efficient

ViewpointsSept 28, 2023

Addressing the UN General Assembly, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pressed rewind and expressed his desire for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The overture last week was the same as last year. In between, Kishida has suggested high-level talks to set up a summit and North Korea has responded promptly and positively. But it also attached a caveat. “There is no reason for the DPRK and Japan not to meet, if Tokyo is not being shackled by the past,” said the North&r
[Editorial] Right choice eventually prevails

EditorialSept 28, 2023

The Constitutional Court ruled a ban on sending propaganda leaflets to North Korea is unconstitutional. It comes as another belated -- but correct -- decision after the Supreme Court ruled in April that anti-North Korea leaflets played a positive role in providing information to North Koreans about their reality. At the time the ban was introduced, the Moon Jae-in administration and the ruling Democratic Party of Korea faced severe criticism for legislating the ban as North Korea demanded, but t

이번 회에는 저희 책 Advanced Vocab에서 소개한 중상급 영단어들을 알려드립니다. 단어의 우리말 뜻을 기억하는 데에서 그치지 않고, 난이도 있는 단어를 실제로 활용하는 단계까지 나아가 보기 바랍니다. 〈분명함, 모호함〉 1. foolproof [fúːlprùːf] 잘못될 리가 없는 waterproof가 ‘물이 새지 않는 것이 증명되었다’는 의미이듯, foolproof는 ‘바보도 할 수 있다는 것이 증명되었다’는 말로 확실하다는 뜻을 지닌다. 이와 비슷하게 -proof를 붙여 만든 표현들이 있다. 예를 들어 childproof가 ‘아이들을 대상으로 안전성이 검증되었다’는 뜻이므로 childproof locks는 자동차의 유아용 잠금 장치를 의미한다. babyproofing the house는 ‘집에서 아이들이 사고를 당하게 만드는 위험 요인들을 제거한다’는 뜻이
[Kim Seong-kon] “The Big Country” and “A City upon a Hill”

ViewpointsSept 27, 2023

When I first watched William Wyler’s 1958 movie, “The Big Country” as a little boy, I was mesmerized by the charming personality of the protagonist James McKay, played by major star Gregory Peck. McKay is a man from the American East who has just arrived in the West to marry his fiancee, Patricia Terrill, a daughter of Henry Terrill, a man who owns the biggest ranch in the region. In the eyes of tough Westerners, McKay is nothing but a weak Easterner who does not fit in with t

The United Auto Workers’ first-ever strike against the so-called “Big Three” (General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler-owner Stellantis) underscores the need to bring climate action, economic growth, and workers’ rights into alignment. Public policies aimed at increasing the production and sales of electric vehicles have the power to catalyze innovation and private-sector investment in ways that benefit workers. But realizing that potential requires a new understanding of the r

South Korea’s growth rate is feared to dip below the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development average for the third consecutive year this year, unless sagging exports rebound at a brisk pace.
