진행자: 최정윤, Ali Abbot Death & denial: Why Koreans refuse to contemplate the end 기사 요약: '죽음'에 대해 이야기 하기를 꺼려하고 죽음에 대해 슬퍼하고 부정적인 인식이 유독 큰 한국인, 그 이유는? [1] A few years ago, Kim Sun-yong (not her real name) stumbled upon a Facebook post written by an acquaintance from work. The author, an American who was battling late-stage cancer with no prospects of recovery, asked his Facebook friends for suggestions on what to include on his bucket list as he braced for the inevitable. *stumble upon: 우연히 만나다/ 발견다하 stumble upon/across/on *inevitable: 불가피한, 필연적인, 반드시 있는 [2] Most comments expressed their sadness about the man's impending death and offered suggestions as asked. But one comment written by a person with a Korean name responded, “Please don’t say that. You won’t die.” There, in the acceptance of a friend's mortality, Kim sensed a significant cultural clash. *impend: 금방이라도 일어나려고 하다, (위험 등이) 임박하다, 머리 위에 드리워지다/ 곧 닥칠, 임박한 (=imminent) [3] It is quite common for Koreans to deny the imminence of death, even for patients in their final stages, encouraging them to hold on to hopes for recovery. Even when doctors say there’s no hope, miracles are cited as a reason to keep hoping. *imminence: 절박, 촉박 *hold on to: ~에 매달리다, 의지하다 [4] Many fear that bringing up the topic of death might give the impression that they are giving up on the person who is fighting to live, or may dampen the person’s courage to fight. Jung Hyun-chae, an honorary professor of internal medicine at Seoul National University, says that although fear of mortality is universal, Koreans collectively have a particularly strong aversion to accepting death and openly discussing it. *dampen: 기세를 꺾다/ 풀이 죽게 하다, 물에 적시다 *aversion: 혐오감 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240225050076   [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰):https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638   위 팟캐스트 에피소드에는 스포티파이의 후원광고를 포함하고 있습니다. 지금 바로 스포티파이 포 팟캐스터에서 팟캐스트를 만들어보세요! http://podcasters.spotify.com

Previously, the government has warned of a possible suspension or revocation of medical licenses and even prosecution if doctors and medical residents do not return to work. *hold accountable: 책임지게 하다, 책임을 물다/ hold sb accountable for sth/ accountable: 책임이 있는 *revocation: 폐지, 철회 [3] As of Friday 7 p.m., more than 10,000 junior doctors, or 80.5 percent of the country's, have handed in resignation letters at 100 training hospitals, while 9,000 of them stayed off work. Walkouts of medical staff have continued for seven consecutive days leading to major general hospitals in Seoul having reduced planned surgeries by up to 50 percent, sparking a serious health crisis in the country. *stay off: 출석하지 않고 있다to not go/ 삼가다, 멀리하다 to avoid *spark: v.유발하다, 촉발시키다, n.불꽃 [4] "Facing up to the seriousness of the current situation, I appeal (to you all) for the last time ...

[1] South Korea saw a significant rise in the number of Russian asylum seekers last year, with over 5,000 submitting refugee applications, a government report found Monday. *asylum: 망명 [2] According to the latest monthly report by the Korea Immigration Service under the Ministry of Justice, the number of Russian nationals who sought refugee status in Korea last year stood at 5,750, a five-fold increase from the number of asylum applications by Russian nationals in 2022, which stood at 1,038. The number is also almost equivalent to the total number of Russian asylum seekers over 26 years between 1994 and 2019. *refugee: 난민, 망명자 *five-fold: ~배 [3] A total of 18,838 refugee applications were reported last year, a 63 percent increase from the previous year.
