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. 〈외모〉 1. urbane [əːrbéin] 정중한, 세련된 ‘도시적인’이라는 뜻인 urban과 어원이 같은 단어다. 세련되고 매너가 점잖은 사람을 표현할 때 쓴다.

[Jan-Werner Mueller] The dilemma of anti-populism

Following a year of halting negotiations, six of Turkey’s opposition parties have finally united behind a single presidential candidate in the election this May, with the hope of ending Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly autocratic and repressive two-decade rule. This month, the so-called Table of Six converged on Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the social democratic and secularist Republican People’s Party (CHP), after having sidelined younger, more charismatic contenders s

ViewpointsMar 15, 2023

In the late 19th and early 20th century, foreign adventurers, reporters and missionaries visited Joseon, which is now Korea. During their stay in the “Land of the Morning Calm,” they wrote some penetrating accounts describing pre-modern Korea. Some of them were favorable remarks, and others were somewhat negative observations, though amusing. For example, they unanimously praised the Korean people’s exquisite handcrafts such as pottery, and their superb skills at archery. They
[Editorial] Kakao’s takeover of SM

EditorialMar 15, 2023

South Korean tech behemoth Kakao is now set to take over major K-pop agency SM Entertainment after striking a deal with Hybe, the fast-growing competitor agency that is home to BTS and NewJeans, to end their competition and cooperate with each other. The conclusion of the monthlong feud for SM came as welcome news to their respective investors and those who want K-pop to expand further with greater platform power and a deep talent pool. At some point, Hybe was close to winning the competition, b

Hashtag KoreaMar 14, 2023

Koreans don't like to say “no” directly because they don't want to hurt the other person's feelings. They might give out some non-verbal cues to convey their refusal or disagreement. To avoid confrontation or rudeness, Korean conversations, as you might have seen in many K-dramas, are full of “Maybe...”, “I think it's possible that…” However, some foreigners who are accustomed to hearing a “no” that means “no”

[Josep Borrell] Honesty can advance the Middle East peace process

ViewpointsMar 14, 2023

Too many people are dying every week in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, and millions are living in fear and hopelessness. The world’s response has been characterized by too many statements and too little action. That must change. We in the European Union and the wider international community need to do more. We know that people around the world expect us to work for peace, justice and international law everywhere. But to act successfully, we first must be honest with each
[Anastassia Fedyk, James Hodson, Ilona Sologoub] Russian opposition’s irrelevant demands

ViewpointsMar 14, 2023

A year ago, two of us (Fedyk and Hodson) co-authored a commentary arguing that Russians would not rise up to stop President Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine. There was too much suppression of dissent in Putin’s Russia, we noted, and too much real support for the war among the public. That assessment proved correct. Still, there is a lingering question: What role are Russian “opposition” parties playing in the conflict? While Russian opposition figures like the jailed

The majority opposition Democratic Party of Korea convened a monthlong provisional session of the National Assembly beginning on the March 1 Independence Movement Day, and then scores of its lawmakers traveled abroad. It is the first time in Korean constitutional history that an Assembly session was convened on the statutory holiday. All of the party’s 169 lawmakers requested the March session on Feb. 24. Under the Assembly Act, a provisional session must be convened when requested by more
[James Stavridis] US needs to create a Cyber Force

ViewpointsMar 13, 2023

Two disturbing incidents roiled the cyber seas last week, one foreign and one domestic. They both strengthen the case -- which was already convincing, and which I have been making for almost a decade now -- for the creation of a US Cyber Force. The first incident was yet another cyberattack on a NATO member, Albania, by Iran. It was part of an ongoing Iranian campaign to attack Albania, a small Muslim nation of only about 3 million in the Balkans. The attacks have included zeroing out personal b
[Editorial] More red signs for economy

EditorialMar 13, 2023

A host of new red signs are popping up for the South Korean economy, which is bad news for policymakers already struggling to tame high inflation and tackle the economic slowdown. There are three worrisome developments. First, the country posted a record current account deficit in January. Second, the Korean currency is losing its value against the US dollar at a rapid clip. Third, investors are worried about the ripple impact from the collapse of the San Francisco-based Silicon Valley Bank, hit
[Nicholas Goldberg] How I became a tool of China's propaganda machine

ViewpointsMar 13, 2023

When I write critical columns about US policies and politics, I occasionally strike a nerve and get enraged letters from readers denouncing me as a traitor or suggesting I am providing grist for our nation's enemies. I've been told, for instance, that I should move to China because I'm anti-American. And when I raised the possibility of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, I was accused of being Vladimir Putin's lapdog. I've never taken such accusations seriously beca
