As the weather warms and sunlight stretches into the early evenings, many begin to feel unusually drowsy or sluggish.yawn: 하품하다drowsy: 졸리는sluggish: 활력이 없는, 느린[2] In Korea, this familiar seasonal fatigue is commonly called "chun-gon-jeung," which literally translates to "spring tiredness."fatigue: 피로[3] Doctors stress that this isn’t a disease but a physiological adjustment period. As winter transitions into spring, the body is suddenly asked to recalibrate its internal rhythms.physiological: 생리학의recalibrate: 재조정하다[4] Still, the fact that spring fatigue isn’t an official medical condition doesn’t mean the tiredness is imagined. Headaches, mild dizziness, digestive discomfort and a waning appetite can accompany the mental slowdown, and when these symptoms persist, it becomes harder to push through the workday as usual.dizziness: 현기증wane: 약해지다, 줄어들다, 시들다appetite: 식욕accompany: 동반하다기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10708709

Brands such as Hautuki have introduced growth-support patches for children, while Foggone targets office workers and students dealing with so-called “brain fog,” using magnesium microneedle technology applied to pressure points like the temples. Other variants include energy-boosting, melatonin and slimming patches, reflecting a broader shift toward functional, lifestyle-driven products.expanding: 확장하다growth-support: 키 성장에 도움되는target: (목표로 하는) 대상functional: 실용적인[4] Among various nutrients, vitamin D has emerged as particularly well-suited to patch delivery due to its small molecular size and fat-soluble properties.

진행자: 홍유, TannithHumanoid race with China may be won by the hand, not on foot기사요약: 중국이 휴머노이드 로봇의 양산과 이동 기술에서는 앞서가고 있지만, 정밀한 ‘손’ 조작 기술에서는 여전히 한계가 있어, 한국이 센서·촉각 데이터 기반 경쟁력으로 핵심 주도권을 노리고 있다는 분석이다.[1] Earlier this month, Seoul's COEX hosted an event whose name said it all: the China Humanoid Conference, "First Journey to Korea." Unitree, Fourier, Leju and Huawei presented humanoids already working in Chinese factories and retail stores.host: 주회하다, 열다retail store: 소매 상점[2] It felt less like an introduction than a declaration. The Korean engineers in the audience knew the scoreboard: China ships the vast majority of the world's humanoids, with over 140 companies in the race. On volume and speed, the contest was over.declaration: 선언vast: 어마어마한[3] Not everyone on stage was triumphant, though. Yan Weixin, a senior researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University's AI institute, acknowledged from the stage that his team had defined 33 fundamental hand motions and succeeded with 32. The exception: chopsticks, a task that demands "very precise force control and tactile perception." Even China's humanoids, Yan conceded, cannot yet perform the kind of delicate manipulation that most 5-year-olds master at the dinner table.exception: 예외precise: 정확한, 정밀한tactile: 촉감의concede: 인정하다, 수긍하다[4] The distinction matters because it maps onto two very different competitions. Walking is an engineering problem China solved with speed and scale. Dexterous manipulation is a data problem no country has solved yet, and South Korean companies believe they hold some of the missing pieces.distinction: 차이dexterous: 손재주가 비상한기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10698201

Made with glutinous rice dough enriched with butter, the pastry develops a crisp golden crust during baking while preserving the rice cake’s signature chewiness inside.glutinous: 차진, 끈기가 많은enriched: 풍부한preserve: 보존하다[3] The result is a dessert that balances buttery notes with syrup or powdered toppings, offering an alternative to the aggressive sweetness of many recent dessert trends. Instead, consumers appear to gravitate toward playful textures and familiar flavors presented in new ways.alternative: 대안, 선택 가능한 것aggressive: 공격적인gravitate: 자연히 끌리다[4] In South Korea, content labeling butter rice cakes as “the dessert that will succeed the Dubai chewy cookie” has begun circulating widely on social media.

Aegyosal is not the same as under-eye bags caused by fatigue or aging. Rather, it is the slight volume that appears below the lower lid when smiling, creating a crescent-shaped fullness that makes the eyes look brighter, larger and more expressive. In a society where youthful softness is highly prized, this small feature carries outsized influence.fatigue: 피로crescent: 초승달 모양기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10696336

진행자: 박준희, Chelsea ProctorWhy Cha Eun-woo's W20b tax bill is not just about the money기사 요약: 가수 겸 배우 차은우가 모친 명의 법인을 통해 수백억 원대 탈세를 했다는 의혹이 제기된 가운데, 국세청이 통보한 200억 원이 넘는 소득세 추징액 중 100억 원은 ‘거짓말 가산세’일 수 있다는 분석이 나오고 있다.[1] Cha Eun-woo’s tax case has drawn attention not only for the record 20 billion won ($13.8 million) levy, but for red flags that have raised questions about possible intentional misconduct, triggering a sharp shift in public sentiment toward the once untarnished actor-singer.draw attention: 이목을 끌다levy: (특히 세금의) 추가 부담금red flag: 위험 신호; 경계 징후misconduct: 위법 ,부당 행위[2] The case first surfaced after local media reported that Cha had been subjected to a high-intensity probe by the National Tax Service's Seoul Regional Office early last year. The investigation resulted in a 20 billion won additional tax assessment, including unpaid base tax and penalty components, tied to a management company owned by Cha’s mother.be subjected to: ~을 당하다/겪다high-intensity: 고강도probe: 조사penalty: 처벌; 벌금; 위약금[3] The family-owned entity was reportedly identified during a routine inspection of Fantagio, the agency that manages Cha and his K-pop group Astro. Authorities flagged the income structure after discovering that Cha’s earnings were split among Fantagio, Cha himself and his mother’s company, an arrangement seen as atypical for contracted entertainers.entity: 독립체 (business entity 기업체, legal entity 법인)inspection: 점검, 조사agency: (특정 서비스를 제공하는) 단체, 기관split: (몫 등을) 나누다; (사람들의 견해 차이로) 분열되다[4] At 20 billion won, the assessment marks an unprecedented tax levy on a Korean celebrity and stands out even by global standards. Media reports note that only a handful of international stars have faced larger cases, led by Chinese megastar Fan Bingbing’s 883 million yuan ($120 million) payment in 2018, followed by Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo’s €16.8 million ($20 million) settlement the same year.assessment: 평가, 평가한 의견, 평가한 금액unprecedented: 전례 없는celebrity: 유명 인사stand out: 눈에 띄다기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10663986[코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독]아이튠즈(아이폰):https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

진행자: 홍유, Chelsea ProctorTailoring, time travel and return of ceremony at Paris Men’s Fashion Week기사요약: 2026년 가을·겨울 파리패션위크에서 우영미와 Juun.J는 여행과 의례, 과거와 미래를 잇는 테일러링과 형식미로 한국 패션의 존재감을 각인시켰고, 에르메스·디올·루이비통 등 글로벌 하우스들 역시 격식과 퍼포먼스, 정체성이 교차하는 ‘새로운 클래식’의 귀환을 선언했다.[1] Korean fashion asserted its place at the heart of Paris Men’s Fashion Week for fall-winter 2026, with Wooyoungmi and Juun.J anchoring the season through collections that balanced heritage and modernity, while global luxury houses from Hermes to Dior and Louis Vuitton framed a week where tailoring, identity and performance converged.anchor: 중심을 이루다converge: 수렴하다[2] Wooyoungmi presented her show on Sunday at the historic Salle Wagram in the 17th Arrondissement, unveiling a collection that reimagined winter travel as an occasion for ceremony. Inspired by journeys spanning steam locomotives to subways, the lineup fused Edwardian and 1960s-70s dandy tailoring with technical outerwear, from velvet blazers and faux astrakhan waistcoats to reversible parkas and sculptural coats.locomotive: 기관차fuse: 융합하다[3] “Winter can be framed as an annoyance or a wonderland. For the fall 2026 collection, Wooyoungmi took the latter view,” the brand said, recasting cold-weather dressing as an act of elegance. Creative director Woo Young-mi looked back to the early 20th century, when the arrival of Korea’s first railway transformed travel into a formal ritual. “Now more grounded in her identity, Woo proposes elegance as a form of courtesy, not a way of showing off,” the show notes added.annoyance: 성가심ritual: 의식be grounded in: ~에 기반하다[4] Korean cultural references were woven literally into the clothes. Nordic-style knits revealed themselves as dancheong, Korea’s traditional decorative architecture pattern, on closer inspection, while bespoke prints on trench coats featured pagodas, mountains and traditional beoseon socks and gat hats. The soundtrack -- a moody collage of wind, rain and steam engines blended with Korean folk chants reworked through artificial intelligence -- underscored the collection’s dialogue between past and future.be woven into: ~에 녹아들다기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10662831
