요약: 검찰, '정인이 사건' 양모 장씨 2심서도 사형 구형

*be indicted: 기소되다

2. ‘Hoesik is back’: After-work dinners return as restaurant curfews end

Workers and restaurant owners have mixed reactions to return of drinking get-togethers

요약: 사회적 거리두기 완화와 함께 돌아온 회식에 직장인들과 식당 주인들이 엇갈리는 반응 보여

[1] As South Korea shifts gear toward “living with COVID-19,” after-work dinners, or hoesik, are among the first things to return.

*curfew: 통금
*mixed reactions: 엇갈린 반응
*get-togethers: 모임
*shift gear toward~: ~로 방침(방향)을 바꾸다

[2] After a nearly 1 1/2-year hiatus, the return of office dinners, which often involve binge drinking and are met with mixed reactions from workers, have been welcomed by the hospitality industry and small-business owners hit hard by the pandemic.

*hiatus: 중단; 휴식기
*binge drinking: 폭음
*hospitality industry: 서비스업 (관광, 식당, 숙박 등)

[3] Alcohol companies are also welcoming the shift in mood. Oriental Brewery launched an in-person marketing event last month for its flagship beer, Cass, while liquor maker HiteJinro said some restaurants have ordered “more supplies than usual” in hopes of an increase in revenue.

*shift of mood: 분위기의 전환
*in-person: 대면
*flagship: 지휘함, 기함; 주력 상품; (체인점의) 본점

*atmosphere: 분위기
*across generations: 세대에 따라
*senior: 상급자, (계급 지위가) 고위(상위)의; 연장자; 선배

[5] “I really liked being able to spend the evening hours (since the pandemic) all to myself, working out and going to CrossFit classes. I am worried that hoesik might get in the way of this healthy routine I‘ve got going recently,” said Ji Yeong-gyu, 34, who works at a Samsung subsidiary.

*all to myself: 오로지 혼자서
*get in the way: 방해되다
*subsidiary: 자회사, 계열사
