The squirrel took my hat!" Minji exclaimed.Ko: 준은 "걱정마. 내가 그거 꼭 잡아볼게,"라고 했습니다.En: Jun said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely catch it."Ko: 준은 다람쥐를 쫓아가기 시작했습니다.En: Jun started chasing the squirrel.Ko: 다람쥐는 경복궁의 아름다운 정원을 누비며 준을 깔끔하게 따돌렸습니다.En: The squirrel skillfully evaded Jun as it darted through the beautiful garden of Gyeongbokgung.Ko: 민지와 현은 그 모습을 보며 웃음을 참을 수 없었습니다.En: Minji and Hyun couldn't hold back their laughter as they watched.Ko: 준은 잠시 숨을 고르며 새로운 계획을 생각했습니다.En: Pausing for a moment to catch his breath, Jun began thinking of a new plan.Ko: 그는 다람쥐의 관심을 끌기 위해 가지고 있던 과자를 꺼냈습니다.En: He took out a snack to attract the squirrel's attention.Ko: 다람쥐는 과자를 보고 관심을 보였습니다.En: The squirrel showed interest upon seeing the snack.Ko: 준이 과자를 바닥에 놓자 다람쥐는 조심스럽게 접근했습니다.En: As Jun placed the snack on the ground, the squirrel approached cautiously.Ko: 그런데 그때, 현이 갑작스레 다람쥐에게 다가가자 다람쥐는 놀라 도망가 버렸습니다.En: But then, when Hyun suddenly moved towards the squirrel, it got scared and ran away.Ko: 그 순간, 관광객 무리가 지나가던 중 지나치던 한 할머니의 가방에서 떨어진 생거지 블록 덕분에 고꾸라지던 다람쥐가 모자를 떨어뜨렸습니다.En: At that moment, as a group of tourists was passing by, an elderly woman accidentally dropped a "생거지" block from her bag, causing the startled squirrel to drop the hat.Ko: 준과 민지와 현은 함께 웃음을 터뜨렸습니다.En: Jun, Minji, and Hyun burst into laughter together.Ko: 다람쥐는 빠르게 모자를 내려놓고 숲으로 돌아갔습니다.En: The squirrel quickly left the hat and returned to the forest.Ko: 관광객들은 상황을 인식하지 못한 채 그저 웃음을 주는 한순간이었습니다.En: The tourists, unaware of the situation, found it to be just a moment of amusement.Ko: 결국 모자가 안전하게 돌아왔고, 민지는 준에게 감사했습니다.En: Ultimately, the hat was safely returned, and Minji thanked Jun.Ko: 그날의 추억을 되새기며, 준은 민지에게 인상 깊은 하루를 보여줄 필요 없이 그저 함께 웃고 추억을 만드는 것이 더 중요하다는 것을 깨달았습니다.En: Reflecting on the day's memories, Jun realized that it was more important to simply laugh and create memories together rather than trying to impress Minji with something extraordinary.Ko: 세 사람은 경복궁에서의 재미있는 모험과 함께 우정을 더 돈독히 하며 하루를 마무리했습니다.En: The three ended the day with a stronger friendship after their fun adventure at Gyeongbokgung.

Hyun-soo asked.Ko: 지윤은 잠시 망설였지만 자신이 느끼는 부담과 걱정을 털어놓기로 결심했습니다.En: Ji-yoon hesitated briefly but decided to share the burdens and worries she felt.Ko: "사실 나, 심장 문제가 생겼어. 요즘 많이 힘들어..." 그녀는 고백했습니다.En: "Actually, I have a heart problem. It's been really tough lately..." she confessed.Ko: 민지와 현수는 놀란 얼굴로 서로를 바라보았습니다.En: Min-ji and Hyun-soo were surprised and exchanged looks of concern.Ko: "무슨 일이든 우리에게 말해줘. 도와줄게." 민지가 단호하게 말했습니다.En: "Whatever it is, let us know. We'll help you." Min-ji said firmly.Ko: 대화를 나누는 중, 갑자기 지윤은 가슴에 통증을 느꼈습니다.En: Suddenly, during the conversation, Ji-yoon felt a pain in her chest.Ko: 그녀는 순간적으로 당혹스러움을 감추려 했지만, 친구들은 이미 그녀의 얼굴에 나타난 불편함을 눈치챘습니다.En: She tried to hide her momentary bewilderment, but her friends had already noticed the discomfort on her face.Ko: "지윤아, 괜찮아?" 현수가 다급히 물었습니다.En: "Ji-yoon, are you okay?" Hyun-soo asked urgently.Ko: 순간, 지윤은 결단을 내려야 했습니다. 통증을 무시하고 넘길 것인가, 아니면 도움을 요청할 것인가.En: In that moment, Ji-yoon had to make a decision—to ignore the pain and move on, or to ask for help.Ko: 고민 끝에 지윤은 체념한 듯 고개를 끄덕이며 말했다. "응, 나 병원에 가봐야 할 것 같아."En: After contemplating, Ji-yoon nodded in resignation and said, "Yes, I think I need to go to the hospital."Ko: 그녀의 목소리는 미약했지만, 그 말 속에는 본인의 건강을 최우선으로 하겠다는 결심이 담겨 있었습니다.En: Her voice was weak, but within her words was a resolution to prioritize her health.Ko: 민지와 현수는 지윤을 지지하며 찻집을 나섰습니다.En: Min-ji and Hyun-soo supported Ji-yoon as they left the teahouse together.Ko: 병원으로 향하는 길에 지윤은 주변의 벚꽃들이 예년과 다르게 훨씬 더 아름답게 보였습니다.En: On the way to the hospital, Ji-yoon noticed that the cherry blossoms around her looked more beautiful than ever before.Ko: 그녀는 자신의 몸과 마음에 집중하며, 친구들이 옆에 있음을 느꼈습니다.En: She focused on her body and mind, feeling the presence of her friends beside her.Ko: 그날 이후, 지윤은 친구들과의 시간을 더 소중히 여기며 일을 조정하는 법을 배웠습니다.En: Since that day, Ji-yoon began to cherish her time with friends more and learned how to adjust her work life.Ko: 그녀는 깨달았습니다. "힘든 일이 있으면, 혼자서만 애쓰지 않아도 괜찮아.En: She realized, "When things are tough, it's okay not to struggle alone.Ko: 친구와 함께할 수 있으니까."En: I can be with my friends."Ko: 그렇게 지윤은 삶의 균형을 찾게 되었고, 그녀 앞에 놓인 새로운 봄날을 기대하기 시작했습니다.En: In this way, Ji-yoon found balance in her life and began to look forward to the new spring days ahead of her.

We don't even have any definite information," Mina said worriedly.Ko: 하지만 진수는 신호의 비밀을 밝혀내고 싶었어요.En: However, Jinsoo wanted to uncover the secret of the signal.Ko: 미나는 그를 말리고 싶었지만, 결국 그를 도와주기로 결심했어요. 왜냐하면 친구니까요.En: Mina wanted to dissuade him, but in the end, she decided to help him because they were friends.Ko: "혹시 현 아저씨한테 가볼래?" 미나가 조심스럽게 제안했어요.En: "How about we go see Hyun?" Mina cautiously suggested.Ko: 현은 산의 비밀을 알고 있는 것으로 소문난 지역 주민이었어요.En: Hyun was a local resident rumored to know the secrets of the mountain.Ko: 그렇게 둘은 현을 찾아갔어요.En: The two of them went to find Hyun.Ko: 작은 오솔길을 따라 걷다 보니, 마침내 비밀스러운 벙커 입구가 보였어요.En: As they walked along a narrow path, they finally saw the entrance to a secretive bunker.Ko: 벙커는 봄의 꽃들에 숨겨져 쉽게 보이지 않았어요.En: The bunker was hidden among the spring flowers and was not easily visible.Ko: "들어갈 거야?" 현이 물었어요.En: "Are you going to go in?" Hyun asked.Ko: 그는 미묘한 미소를 지으며 문을 열어줬어요.En: He opened the door with a subtle smile.Ko: 벙커 안은 차가웠어요.En: Inside the bunker, it was cold.Ko: 혼란스러운 전자기기가 그곳에 있었어요.En: There were confusing electronic devices there.Ko: 바로 그 장치가 신호의 출처였어요.En: It was that very device that was the source of the signal.Ko: 신호는 복잡한 주파수로 이루어져 있었고, 둘은 그것을 해독할 수 없었어요.En: The signal consisted of complex frequencies, and the two could not decipher it.Ko: "어떻게 할까?" 미나가 물었어요.En: "What should we do?" Mina asked.Ko: 진수는 결단력 있게 장치를 살펴보았어요.En: Jinsoo examined the device decisively.Ko: 그는 무리를 해가며 겨우 장치의 전원을 끄는 법을 알아냈어요.En: With difficulty, he managed to figure out how to turn off the device.Ko: "됐어! 이제 안전해." 진수가 미소를 지으며 말했어요.En: "Got it! It's safe now," Jinsoo said with a smile.Ko: 신호는 멈췄지만, 장치의 정체는 여전히 미스터리였어요.En: The signal had stopped, but the identity of the device remained a mystery.Ko: 그러나 진수는 이렇게 생각했어요. "이건 시작일 뿐이야."En: However, Jinsoo thought, "This is only the beginning."Ko: 벙커를 뒤로 하고 나오며, 진수는 새로운 목표를 발견했어요.En: As they exited the bunker, Jinsoo discovered a new goal.Ko: 그는 미래에 암호학을 공부하고 싶었어요.En: He wanted to study cryptography in the future.Ko: 신호의 수수께끼는 풀리지 않았지만, 그의 마음 속의 불빛은 더 밝게 타오르고 있었어요.En: Although the mystery of the signal was not solved, the light in his heart was burning brighter.Ko: 이것이 진수의 새로운 길의 시작이었어요.En: This was the beginning of Jinsoo's new path.Ko: 벚꽃은 바람에 흩날리며 그들의 발걸음을 따라왔어요.En: The cherry blossoms scattered in the wind as they followed their steps.Ko: 벙커의 미스터리는 여전히 산속에 잠들어 있었지만, 진수의 여정은 이제 막 시작되었어요.En: The mystery of the bunker remained asleep within the mountain, but Jinsoo's journey was just beginning.

From the end of October to the start of December 2001, an unspecified two-roomed second-floor flat on Eagle Street in Holborn was a warm and welcoming guesthouse rented out to two Korean students exploring London. As strangers in a notoriously dangerous city, they did everything right to ensure their safety, as London isn't for the faint hearted. And although they stayed within confines of their tight-knit community, their sadistic killer was hiding in plain sight.Location #1: unknown number, ‘Beckley' 47-51 Eagle Street, Holborn, London, WC2Location #2: unknown number, Lansbury Estate, Augusta Street, Poplar, London, E14Date: 8th or 9th of December 1913 and 27th October 2001Victims: Hyun-Han Jin and In-Hea SongCulprit: Kye Soo KimFive time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Nationalism today depends on the perception of victimhood. The historical memory of past suffering endows nationalist movements with political legitimacy and a sense of moral superiority. Koreans recall Japanese colonial atrocities, while Japan commemorates the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Israel sanctifies the Holocaust and Poland trumpets the Nazi and Soviet occupations. Even Germany and Russia, perpetrators of historical crimes, today cast themselves as victims by pointing to national suffering. In this theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich book, Jie-Hyun Lim offers a new way to understand nationalism and its political instrumentalization of suffering, developing the concept of “victimhood nationalism” and exploring it in a range of global settings. Victimhood Nationalism: History and Memory in a Global Age (Columbia UP, 2025) examines relations among Poland, Germany, Israel, Korea, and Japan, focusing on how memories of colonialism, the Holocaust, and Stalinist terror have converged and intertwined in transnational spaces. With an emphasis on memory formation, Lim scrutinizes how perpetrators in Germany and Japan transformed themselves into victims, as well as how nationalists in Poland, Korea, and Israel portray themselves as hereditary victims in order to rebut external criticism. He considers the construction of nations as victims and perpetrators, tracing the interaction of history and memory. Ultimately, the book contends, challenging victimhood nationalism is necessary to overcome the endless competition over national suffering and instead promote reconciliation, mutual understanding, and transnational solidarity. Dr. Jie-Hyun Lim is the CIPSH Chairholder of Global Easts, Distinguished Professor, and founding director of the Critical Global Studies Institute at Sogang University. In 2025–2026, he is the Class of 1955 Visiting Professor in Global Studies at Williams College. His many books include Global Easts: Remembering, Imagining, Mobilizing (Columbia, 2022).

Send us a textHere's the story behind GD Burgers in La Puente. I sat down with Daniel “Danny” Hyun, who went from leading at LA Fitness to helping his father at the family counter—and then taking over. His path blends discipline, service, and a deep commitment to the San Gabriel Valley. If you've ever wondered how a family business grows into a neighborhood staple, this is it.GD Burgers is classic SGV comfort: char-broiled burgers, teriyaki plates, and generous portions made for regulars. You'll find it at 14273 Amar Rd, La Puente, CA 91746. More than a menu, it's a story of a son honoring his dad's work while putting his own stamp on the place.Danny also treats social media like a craft. In our conversation, he shared that his creative Instagram posts bring in 5–7 new customers every day. It's consistent, personal, and rooted in community—proof that honest storytelling still moves people.In this episode, we dig into the jump from fitness to food, how leadership habits transfer to the kitchen, and what it takes to keep a small business thriving in the SGV. Watch, then go say hi to Danny and taste what he's building in La Puente.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

In Intergroup Conflict, Recategorization, and Identity Construction in Acts: Breaking the Cycle of Slander, Labeling and Violence (Bloomsbury, 2023) Hyun Ho Park employs social identity to create the first thorough analysis via such methodology of Acts 21:17-23:35, which contains one of the fiercest intergroup conflicts in Acts. Park's assessment allows his readers to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine Jewish-Christian relations; teaches them how to respond to the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence permeating contemporary public and private spheres; and presents a new hermeneutical cycle and describes how readers may apply it to their own sociopolitical contexts.After surveying previous studies of the text, Park first analyses Paul's welcome, questioning, and arrest, and how slandering and labeling make Paul an outsider. Park then describes how, through defending his Jewish identity and the Way, Paul nuances his public image and re-categorizes himself and the Way as part of the people of God. When Paul identifies himself as a Roman and later a Pharisee, Park examines Luke's ambivalent attitude toward Rome and the Pharisees, and assesses how Paul escapes dangerous situations by claiming different social identities at different times.Finally, he discloses the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence not only against the Way but also against the Jews and challenges the discursive process of identity construction through intergroup conflict with an out-group, especially the proximate “Other.” Furthermore, he demonstrates how the relevance of such scholarship is not limited to Lukan studies or even biblical studies in general; the frequent use of slander, labeling, and violence in the politics of the United States and other polarized countries around the globe demands new ways of looking at intergroup relations, and Park's argument meets the needs of those seeking a new perspective on contemporary political discord. Hyun Ho Park is Associate Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Yuba City, California and Editor-in-Chief of the Asian American Theological Forum. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).
