That is roughly equal to 21 one-way flights, or 10.5 round-trip flights, between Seoul and Jeju Island.per capita: 1인당[4] Beef is by far the most emissions-intensive of the three major meats. The report said beef generates about four times more emissions than pork and more than 10 times more than chicken per kilogram, largely because cattle take longer to raise and produce methane during digestion.by far: 단연intensive: 집약적인methane: 메탄기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10729676

It is managed, quite literally, in hand.sentiment: 감정, 정서literally: 문자 그대로[2] Across South Korea, small, portable items designed to ease tension are becoming part of daily routines. From tactile keycap keyrings clipped onto bags to soft squishy toys and pocket-sized worry stones, these objects are emerging as everyday tools for managing stress.tactile: 촉각의squishy: 말랑말랑한[3] According to SomeTrend, Instagram mentions of “keycap keyrings” rose 137 percent in February compared with December, while blog mentions increased 56 percent over the same period. The appeal is straightforward. Many of these fidget toy-like products deliver immediate tactile feedback and a brief mental reset through a clicking sound or soft resistance. Consumers also treat them as accessories, customizing keycaps or choosing character-themed designs that reflect personal taste.straightforward: 명확한fidget: 손장난용 소품[4] Popular culture has taken notice. A recent skit on SNL Korea satirized Gen Z office life, featuring a young employee anxiously tapping a keycap after being scolded by a supervisor. The exaggerated scene — rapid, almost compulsive clicking to regain composure — mirrors how such items are increasingly framed as quick coping tools for workplace stress.satirize: 풍자하다be scolded by: ~에게 꾸중을 듣다compulsive: 강박적인기사원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10721400

From the first moments after waking up to the last scroll before bed, these snippets are automatically stitched into a single daily vlog.premise: 기본 전제, 핵심 개념snippet: 짧은 부분, 짧은 발췌/영상 조각[3] There is little room or need for curation. No extended filming, no editing timeline, no retakes. When a notification appears, users capture whatever is in front of them. The result is less about storytelling and more about presence, a shift that is resonating with a generation accustomed to documenting daily life.presence: (그 순간의) 존재감, 현존, 현재에 있음resonate: 공감을 불러일으키다, 마음에 와닿다accustomed to: ~에 익숙한[4] The appeal lies partly in how little effort it demands.

The rate had risen from 31.7 percent in 2021 to 35.8 percent in 2023, but has since declined for two consecutive years.binge drinking: 폭음 (binge watching: 몰아보기)[3] The shift is particularly pronounced among people in their 20s. Except for North Chungcheong Province and Jeju Island, monthly drinking rates among this age group declined nationwide. In Sejong, the rate fell sharply from 68.3 percent to 50.5 percent, a decrease of nearly 20 percentage points.pronounced: 확연한[4] Professor Lee Eun-hee, a consumer studies expert, said these movements reflect a fundamental change in how people approach drinking. “Healthy pleasure refers to seeking enjoyment without compromising one’s health, while there is a growing interest in reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption,” she said.“Rather than completely abstaining, many young people are choosing to regulate their drinking based on their physical condition and daily routines.”fundamental: 근본적인compromise: 타협하다, 절충하다abstain: 절제하다기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10716066

There was no classroom applause or cheers for the champion, although Bang thought he deserved it.low-key: 많은 이목을 끌지 않도록 절제하는, 요란하지 않은[3] "For kids growing up, there should be a culture of cheering for a classmate's success, but now these are things of bygone days," Bang told The Korea Herald, saying that a "new culture" has taken root.bygone: 지난, 옛날의take root: 뿌리를 내리다[4] Bang's case is just one example of how schools have come to avoid elements that could lead to complaints such as competitive sports, field trips and minor injuries in the schoolyard. A December survey on 2,746 teachers by the Korean Federation of Teachers Unions showed that 51.9 percent suffered from mailcious complaints from parents in the second half of last year.malicious: 악의적인기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10717174
