They warned that South Korea might otherwise be plagued by a range of social problems: the demise of remote rural areas, a workforce shortage, weaker military strength and a pension fund crisis, among other things. milestone: 중요한 단계 holistic: 전체적인 plague: 괴롭히다, 성가시게 하다 /전염병 demise: 종말, 죽음 기사 원문: [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰): 네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용):
