How COVID-19 has altered perceptions of face masks
How COVID-19 has altered perceptions of face masks
코로나19는 어떻게 마스크에 대한 인식을 바꿨을까
It isn't an exaggeration to say that face masks have become the new normal in Korea, as nearly two years have passed since they have become mandatory in public places amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 진행 중인 코로나19 팬데믹 속 공공 장소에서 마스크 작용이 의무화된지 거의 2년이 지난 지금 한국에서 마스크를 착용이 '뉴노멀’이 되었다고 말하는 것은 과장이 아니다.

한국의 복잡한 나이 체계는 어떻게 지속되었나
"How old are you?" Answering this simple question often becomes a challenge for foreign nationals living in Korea who are not yet familiar with the country's unique system of counting one's age. “나이가 어떻게 되세요?” 아직 나이를 세는 한국의 독특한 체계에 익숙하지 않은 한국에 사는 외국 국적 사람들에게 이 간단한 질문에 답하는 것은 때로는 어려운 과제가 된다.

President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol's economic team led by Choo Kyung-ho, his nominee for deputy prime minister for economic affairs, faces a tricky job of effectively juggling both growth and inflation as the Korean economy reels from the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic amid soaring prices. 치솟는 물가 속 한국 경제가 코로나19 팬데믹의 부정적 여파로 고통 받아 추경호 경제부총리 후보자가 이끄는 윤석열 새 정부의 경제팀은 성장과 인플레이션을 효율적으...

Korea begins transition to 'post-Omicron' era
한국, '포스트 오미크론’ 시대로 전환
As COVID-19 infections are gradually showing signs of slowing down, the government is gearing up to shift to a "post-Omicron" era, in which the coronavirus might be treated as an endemic disease and COVID-19 might be managed more routinely within the general medical system. 코로나19 감염이 점차 감소세를 보이자 정부는 코로나 바이러스가 풍토병으로 취급되고 코로나19가 일반적 의료 시스템 안에서 일상적으로 치료되는 “포스트 오미크론” 시대로 전환하기 위해 ...

The government is mapping out a gradual "return to normalcy" scheme by treating COVID-19 as endemic, as daily infection cases are showing clear signs of decline. 코로나19 일일 신규 확진자 수가 뚜렷한 감소세를 보임에 따라 정부는 코로나19를 풍토병으로 취급하는 점진적인 '일상 회복’ 계획을 세우고 있다.

The incoming administration headed by President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol will seek to overhaul the country's highly controversial minimum wage policy in a bid to help small businesses reeling from the economic fallout of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. 윤석열 대통령 당선인이 이끄는 새 행정부는 연장된 코로나 팬데믹의 경제적 실패로 인해 고통 받는 소상공인들을 돕기 위한 노력의 일환으로 논란이 많은 한국의 최저임금 정책을 개편할 예정이다.
