팟캐스트 (706) 세계가 열광하는 라부부의 정체는?
진행자: 홍유, Chelsea Proctor Why are Labubu monsters taking over the world? 기사 요약: 괴짜 같은 외모의 피규어 라부부가 젠지 세대의 개성과 불완전함을 상징하며 패션계의 새로운 아이콘으로 떠오르고 있다. [1] In an industry that thrives on constant reinvention, a mischievous, elvish toy called Labubu is quickly becoming fashion's most unexpected new star. thrive: 번창하다 mischievous: 장난기 있는 elvish: 요정 같은, 신비롭고 장난기 있는 [2] With its jagged teeth, wild hair and wide-eyed grin, Labubu has leapt from collectible curiosity to cultural symbol. Originally designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubu was introduced through the Pop Mart x How2work series, initially appealing to a niche group of toy collectors. jagged: 들쭉날쭉한 appeal: 매력을 끌다 [3] But Labubu's popularity has surged well beyond that audience, especially among Generation Z consumers drawn to its offbeat, anti-cute aesthetic. offbeat: 색다른, 일반적이지 않은, 독특한 aesthetic: 미적 감각 [4] Unlike the smooth, symmetrical mascots that once dominated toy shelves, Labubu's oddball charm resonates with young people who reject conventional standards of beauty. The imperfections — sharp teeth, awkward grin, untamed hair — have become a statement of identity in an age where uniqueness is increasingly celebrated. oddball: 괴짜 yoohong@

팟캐스트 (697) 한국에서 자녀를 키우는 데 드는 비용은 얼마나 될까?
진행자: 홍유, Chelsea Proctor How much is enough to raise a child in South Korea? 기사요약: 한국의 저출산 현상 뒤에는 자녀 양육에 드는 높은 비용이라는 현실적인 고민이 자리하고 있다. [1] South Korea's dwindling birth rate has become something of a global curiosity and a national crisis, making frequent headlines. Yet behind the statistics lies a quieter, more personal calculus — one that plays out in the homes of young adults weighing whether to have a child. dwindle: 줄어들다, 감소하다 calculus: 계산, 판단 기준 [2] More often than not, the key factor is cost. So how much do young parents — or would-be parents — believe it takes to raise a child in South Korea today? And what feels realistic, or essential? factor: 요소, 요인 essential: 필수적인, 꼭 필요한 [3] Lee Eun-ji, a mother in Seoul raising a 3-year-old girl, said the ideal amount to spend on raising a child would be one parent's salary. For her, that's about 4 million won a month. 'Every meaningful childhood experience comes with a cost,' she said. ideal: 이상적인, 가장 바람직한 childhood: 어린 시절, 유년기 [4] She recalled feeling guilty when she learned that other parents were able to enroll their children in Montessori programs, which focus on self-directed learning and hands-on activities. 'I wanted that kind of exposure for my child, but it costs 500,000 won for just 12 classes. It was too much,' she said. recall: 기억하다, 떠올리다 enroll: 등록하다, 입학하다 yoohong@
