After a recent fashion photo shoot by Vogue Korea on Cheong Wa Dae grounds sparked widespread public criticism, the Cultural Heritage Administration called off luxury brand Gucci’s fashion show in Gyeongbokgung, scheduled for Nov. 1, the CHA confirmed Monday.

*Scheduled for: ~로 예정되다; ~하기로 잡혀있다

The planned Gucci runway show, titled “Gucci Cosmogonie Fashion Show in Seoul, Gyeongbokgung,” connected the event’s underlying theme of mythical stories of constellations with the historical importance of Gyeongbokgung.

*Planned: 계획된
*Runway show: 런웨이 쇼
*Underlying: 근본적인
*Mythical: 가공의; 사실이 아닌
*Constellation: 별자리; 성좌

On Aug. 22, some 30 pictures of models dressed in modernized and transformed hanbok and dresses, including top Korean model Han Hye-jin, were released by Vogue Korea. The fashion spread was created in collaboration with the CHA’s Visit Korean Heritage campaign.

*Modernized: 현대화된
*Transformed: 변형된
*Fashion spread: 유행의 확산

Models were captured posing on chairs, pillars and stairways of the Cheong Wa Dae buildings and garden. Three days later, amid mounting criticism, Vogue Korea deleted the photos from its official webpage and social media. The September issue of Vogue Korea includes the fashion spread.

*Captured: 잡히다

The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea is raising calls to appoint a special counsel to take over the ongoing investigation into first lady Kim Keon-hee.

*Raise calls: ~를 요구하다
*To take over: 장악하다; 인수하다; 인계하다
*Ongoing: 계속 진행 중인

The main opposition party’s Floor Leader Rep. Park Hong-keun told reporters Monday that if police and prosecutors “don’t do their jobs adequately,” appointing a special counsel to handle the investigations would be “unavoidable.”

*Adequately: 충분히
*Appointing: 임명하다
*To handle: ~를 다루다
*Unavoidable: 불가피한

In a first meeting on the same day, the party’s supreme council member Rep. Park Chan-dae accused police and prosecutors of “going easy on the first lady” and said the party may be “forced to push ahead” by launching a special counsel investigation.

*Accused: 혐의를 제기하다
*Going easy: 봐주다

The parliament can determine whether opening a special counsel investigation is warranted, which is then put up for vote in a plenary session.

*Warrant: 영장
*Put up for: ~을 제시하다
