기사 내용: 인도네시아 수입식품 할랄인증 표기 의무화, 한국 식품기업에 미칠 영향에 대하여

[1] Indonesia’s new regulation mandating Halal certification for all imported food products is expected to widen the export gap between large conglomerates and small businesses in Korea due to the high costs and time need to meet the requirements.

[2] After a five-year grace period, the Indonesian government has officially ordered businesses in most industries to be halal compliant and halal certified, starting Thursday.

Halal refers to items permissible under Islamic dietary laws. Generally prohibited meats include those from pigs, dogs and any animals not slaughtered according to Islamic practices.

*comply with 순응하다, 지키다, 준수하다

기사 요약: 국방부 산하 한국군사문제연구원 원장이 ‘여성이 군대에 가면 전우애가 생겨 혼인율과 출산율이 올라갈 것’이라는 취지의 발언으로 구설에 올랐다.

* Suggest: 제안하다, 추천하다

And this camaraderie could lead to more marriages and eventually more babies.”

* Reach a point: ~의 수준에 달하다

* Barracks: 막사, 병영

* Deploy: 배치하다

* Combat force: 전투부대

[4] Rep. Park Sun-won of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea also criticized Kim’s remarks, calling on the government to take responsibility for having appointed Kim.

* Criticize: 비판, 비난하다

* Call on: 요청하다, 촉구하다

* Take responsibility: 떠메다

*bullied: 괴롭힘을 당하는

*corresponding: 해당하는 / corresponding to ~에 상응하는/ correspond: 일치하다, 부합하다

[2] With 1 out of 50 children having experienced school violence, the proportion of victim students was higher among younger students.

Online reviews of sex tourism in Southeast Asia proliferate

기사 요약: 동남아 여행지에서 성매매 업소를 방문한 후기와 정보 공유가 특정 연령대 남성들만 가입 가능한 카페서 18000여건이 넘게 들어나 논란 일어

[1] South Koreans leaving online reviews about visiting prostitution establishments in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam and Laos have proliferated, despite legal prohibition both here for Koreans and there abroad, according to observers and legal experts here Monday.

*proliferate: 급증하다 확산되다

[2] The posts often use terms like "byeonma" -- referring to a clandestine brothel disguised as a massage parlor -- and "cheolchang" -- for an establishment where five to seven minors are confined in small, cagelike rooms. South Koreans who often identify themselves as men frequently use the terms online to exchange information about names, locations and prices at such venues, the experts said.

*clandestine: 비밀리에 하는, 은밀한

*confined: 좁고 사방이 막힌

[3] For example, a Naver Cafe group that launched in March 2004, but has since been shut down by the platform operator, once boasted over 18,000 members. Originally created to share travel tips, the cafe described itself as a community for exploring global food, entertainment and leisure at day and night.

*boast: 큰 수치를 강조할 때 쓰는 말/ v.뽐내다

[4] However, before its closure, the forum became inundated with posts detailing experiences with prostitution, as The Korea Herald discovered through screenshots of comments posted there. Membership was restricted to men born between 1930 and 1994. To qualify as a "sincere" member, users were required to post general travel reviews after joining. Those seeking to access more exclusive sections of the forum, where explicit content was shared, had to contribute further details or share their own experiences with prostitution.

*inundated: 범람하다, 넘치는

*explicit: 분명한, 명쾌한, 노골적인
