기사 요약: 2023년 열린 대통령 경호처 창설 60주년 기념 행사가 사실상 윤석열 대통령 생일 잔치로 변질되었고, 국군 장병들이 동원되어 장기자랑을 했다는 보도 나와.

[1] According to local broadcaster SBS, scores of soldiers of the 55th Security Brigade were ordered by Kim Yong-hyun -- former defense minister and then-leader of the Presidential Security Service -- to put on a talent show and performance for the president. The event was held as a 60th anniversary celebration for the PSS but was held on Yoon's birthday of Dec. 18, not the agency's founding day of Dec. 17.

* scores of people: 수십 명의 사람들

* talent show: 장기자랑

* performance: 공연

* anniversary celebration: 기념일 축하 행사

[2] The songs by soldiers were revised versions of popular military songs with the lyrics changed to praise Yoon, with the soldiers saluting the president and first lady Kim Kun Hee. The soldiers reportedly were relieved from their regular duties while they practiced two months for the event.

* revise: 개정하다

* praise: 찬양하다

* salute: 경례하다

* relieve: 없애[덜어] 주다

[3] It was reported that other military and police entrusted with presidential security duties were also ordered to put on talent shows and sing hymns praising Yoon. The PSS refused to comment on the report, saying the details related to the agency and its activities are classified.

* entrust with: ~을 맡기다

* duty: 임무

* hymn: 찬송가

* refuse: 거부하다

[4] Kim Seong-hoon, the deputy chief of the PSS who planned the birthday event, denied mobilizing the presidential bodyguards for the event when he appeared at the police station for questioning last Friday.

* deny: 부인하다

* mobilize: 동원하다

* appear: 모습을 들어내다
