Story Transcript:

Ko: 가을 하늘이 높고 맑은 어느 날, 상민과 지우네 가족은 경복궁을 찾았습니다.
En: One clear, high autumn sky day, Sangmin and Jiwoo's family visited Gyeongbokgung.

Ko: 오늘은 추석, 한국의 한가위를 기념하는 날입니다.
En: Today is Chuseok, a day celebrating Hanguk’s Hangawi.

Ko: 궁궐 앞에는 단풍이 붉게 물들어 경치를 아름답게 만들었습니다.
En: The maple leaves in front of the palace were vividly tinged red, beautifying the scenery.

Ko: 많은 가족들이 전통 의상을 입고 행사를 즐기러 모였습니다.
En: Many families gathered dressed in traditional attire to enjoy the festivities.

Ko: 상민은 이번 방문이 그다지 기대되지 않았습니다.
En: Sangmin wasn't particularly looking forward to this visit.

Ko: 그는 전통 풍습에 대해 잘 알지 못했고, 그저 가족들과 함께하는 시간이 부담스럽기만 했습니다.
En: He didn't know much about traditional customs and just felt the time with his family was burdensome.

Ko: 그러나 그의 동생 지우는 다릅니다.
En: However, his younger sister Jiwoo was different.

Ko: 지우는 가족 전통을 사랑하고, 상민이 즐거워하길 바랐습니다.
En: Jiwoo loved family traditions and hoped Sangmin would enjoy himself.

Ko: "오빠, 우리 저기 가서 공연 보자! 너무 재미있을 것 같아!" 지우는 손을 잡고 상민을 이끌었습니다.
En: "Oppa, let's go there and watch the performance! It looks like it'll be so fun!" Jiwoo said, grabbing his hand and pulling him along.

Ko: 경복궁의 마당에는 전통 공연이 한창이었습니다.
En: In the courtyard of Gyeongbokgung, traditional performances were in full swing.

Ko: 사물놀이와 탈춤이 사람들의 눈과 귀를 사로잡았습니다.
En: samulnori and mask dances caught the eyes and ears of the people.

Ko: 상민은 그들을 보며 잠시 관심을 가졌지만 여전히 마음은 멀었습니다.
En: Sangmin watched them with some interest for a moment but still felt distant.

Ko: "이게 뭐가 재미있지?" 그는 고개를 갸웃거리며 속으로 생각했습니다.
En: "What's so fun about this?" he thought to himself with a slight tilt of his head.

Ko: 그때, 지우의 눈이 빛났습니다.
En: At that moment, Jiwoo's eyes sparkled.

Ko: 그녀는 반짝이는 눈으로 공연을 보며 즐거워하고 있었습니다.
En: She watched the performance with gleaming eyes, clearly enjoying it.

Ko: "오빠, 이 춤 너무 멋있지 않아?" 지우가 상민에게 묻자, 상민은 문득 그녀의 열정 어린 표정에 마음이 움직였습니다.
En: "Oppa, isn't this dance amazing?" When Jiwoo asked Sangmin, he suddenly found himself moved by her passionate expression.

Ko: "응, 그런 것 같아." 그는 서서히 미소를 띄우며 대답했습니다.
En: "Yeah, I guess it is," he slowly replied with a smile.

Ko: 그렇게 시간이 흐르면서, 상민은 점점 공연에 빠져들었습니다.
En: As time passed this way, Sangmin gradually immersed himself in the performance.

Ko: 각 공연의 의미와 역사, 그리고 그 안에 담긴 이야기들이 눈앞에서 펼쳐지는 것만 같았습니다.
En: It seemed as if the meaning, history, and stories contained within each performance unfolded before his eyes.

Ko: 지우의 밝은 웃음소리와 함께 그는 자신도 모르게 문화와 전통을 즐기기 시작했습니다.
En: Accompanied by Jiwoo's bright laughter, he unknowingly began to enjoy the culture and tradition.

Ko: 공연이 끝나고 가족들은 함께 손을 맞잡고 대동놀이에 참여했습니다.
En: After the performance ended, the family held hands and participated in a traditional group dance.

Ko: 상민은 처음엔 망설였지만, 지우가 손을 내밀며 "오빠, 같이 해!"라고 외치자, 그는 손을 잡았습니다.
En: At first, Sangmin hesitated, but when Jiwoo reached out her hand and said, "Oppa, do it together!" he took her hand.

Ko: 그 순간, 상민은 가족과 하나가 되어 춤을 추었습니다.
En: In that moment, Sangmin danced, becoming one with his family.

Ko: 상민은 그제야 깨달았습니다.
En: It was then that Sangmin realized.

Ko: 전통은 단지 과거의 것이 아니라, 지금 이 순간 가족과 함께하는 것이라는 것을.
En: Traditions are not just things of the past but are about being together in this moment with family.

Ko: 그는 지우에게 "고마워, 우리 오래오래 이렇게 즐겁게 지내자."라고 말했습니다.
En: He said to Jiwoo, "Thank you, let's always enjoy like this for a long time."

Ko: 집으로 돌아가는 길, 상민은 가슴이 따뜻했습니다.
En: On the way home, Sangmin's heart felt warm.

Ko: 그는 이제 문화와 가족의 소중함을 다시 한 번 느꼈습니다.
En: He once again felt the importance of culture and family.

Ko: 그리고 그것은 이번 추석의 커다란 선물이었다고 생각했습니다.
En: And he thought that was the biggest gift of this Chuseok.
