Reading articles about cities around the world almost always invites comparisons with Seoul because it’s the city I know best. I lived in Seoul for 12 years at different times starting in the mid-1980s and ending in the mid-2010s. In the years I didn’t live in Seoul, I visited the city at least once a year, except for the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 40 years that Seoul has been in my life, I’ve seen the city change and grow as South Korea has transformed it

A movie starring Helen Mirren as Golda Meir has just opened, 50 years after the war that ended the Israeli prime minister’s career. More snore than sleeper hit, “Golda” captures its subject’s Chesterfield chain-smoking while brushing past a timely lesson about diplomacy: to be effective, leaders need to know each other’s personalities as well as each other’s national interests. America, for its part, has blundered when presidents have confused the two. Preside

President Yoon Suk Yeol’s Liberation Day speech on Aug. 15 set himself apart from his predecessors. He did not mention Japan’s brutal 35-year colonial rule, from which the nation was freed on the day 78 years ago. Instead, Yoon bore hatred toward his perceived enemies at home, calling them “anti-state forces.” “The forces of communist totalitarianism have always disguised themselves as democracy activists, human rights advocates or progressive activists while engagi

By Woo Tae-hee Indonesia, a large economy with a population of 270 million people and an average age of 29, has impressively sustained an annual growth rate exceeding 5 percent in recent years. In 2018, Standard Chartered projected that Indonesia would become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2030. Moreover, Indonesia is a nation endowed with abundant natural resources. Notably, the recent surge in the electric vehicle market has generated a huge demand for nickel, of which Indon

By Winter Choi Visit the trendiest places and you’ll be bound to see them: turntables flanked by 33’s, album art on the wall, maybe even a ghettoblaster if you’re lucky. Retro audio formats have enjoyed a comeback in recent years. And with people spending more time at home during the pandemic – and spending more money on goods than experiences – sales are higher than ever. But are people buying physical formats for the music, or only to display them on a shelf? Classic audio

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. 〈시간 관련〉 1. stopgap [stɑ́pɡæ̀p] 임시 방편 말 그대로 ‘벌어진 틈(gap)을 막기(stop) 위한 것’, ‘임시적인 것’을 뜻한다. 임시 방편을 makeshift measure라고 표현하기도 하는데, ‘급한 대로 만들었다’는 뜻인 makeshift와 달리 stopgap은 곧 더 좋은 것으로 대체되리라는 의미가 담겨 있다. The temporary support beams were only meant as a stopgap measure, not as a permanent solution to the problem of the crumbling infrastructure.

Last month, California regulators allowed two companies that operate self-driving cars to accept paying customers in San Francisco. The first week did not go well. One car drove itself onto freshly poured concrete in a road construction zone with traffic cones and workers with flags. The car got stuck in the wet concrete, and the company will be paying to repave the road. In a more serious incident, a passenger in a driverless car was injured in a collision with a fire truck. As a result, the op
