유전공학(genetic engineering)은 생물체의 유전물질(genetic material)을 인위적으로 변형하거나 조작해 특정한 형질(desired traits)을 구현하는 생명과학(biological science)의 한 분야입니다. 유전공학은 DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid)의 특정 염기서열(nucleotide sequence)을 변경하거나 외부 유전자(foreign gene)를 삽입해 생물체의 유전적 특성(genetic characteristics)을 바꿉니다. 이러한 기술은 의학(medicine), 농업(agriculture), 제약(pharmaceutical industry)과 산업생물학(industrial biology) 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되며, 질병 치료(disease treatment)와 식량 생산(food production)의 가능성을 확장하고 있습니다. 유전공학의 기본 원리를 이해하려면 유전자(gene), 유전체(genome)와 염색체(

The fragrant aroma of perilla leaves combined with the rich umami of dried anchovies makes this a delicious Korean side dish. The sauce combines soy sauce, fish sauce, perilla oil and kelp broth for a flavorful yet mild seasoning. Onions and Korean chili peppers add natural sweetness and a refreshing kick, while gently braising the perilla leaves makes them soft and tender. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored for several days, making it a convenient side dish that pairs perfectly

Protectionist barriers rarely eliminate market distortions; they often redirect the pressure elsewhere. As major economic blocs close their doors to Chinese vehicles, South Korea could face an influx of rerouted exports, leaving domestic automakers to compete on uneven terms. 보호주의 장벽은 시장의 왜곡을 해결하기보다 압박의 방향을 다른 곳으로 돌리는 경우가 많다. 주요 경제블록들이 중국산 차량에 시장을 닫아걸면서 방향을 돌린 수출분은 한국으로 흘러들어올 수 있다. 국내 자동차 업계는 불평등한 조건에서 경쟁하게 되는 것이다. The European Union’s agreement with Beijing on Friday shows how quickly the groun

Hairtail is one of the better-loved fish varieties in Korean cooking, though picking through its bones at the table has long kept it from being an everyday meal. Boneless fillets solve that problem, and here they are pan-fried until golden and laid over rice cooked in a pot with baekganjang, a light soy sauce. The oil from the fish seeps into the grains below, turning a single pot into a full meal that needs no other side dishes. Break the fillets apart with a spoon and stir them through the ric

This year, I spent three weeks in Japan, my longest visit to the country in 10 years. I had plenty of time to talk with people to get a sense of where things stand in late 2026. I also spent time visiting bookshops and consuming news from various outlets across the country. The theme running through these conversations and observations is disquiet about the future mixed with guarded optimism. Three topics came up most frequently: geopolitics, artificial intelligence and foreigners. First, geopol

A nation can grow rich on paper even as its people feel poorer. South Korea’s latest figures tell two different stories: Export earnings are soaring, but household fortunes are lagging. An artificial intelligence-driven surge in chip demand has sent output and corporate earnings to unprecedented levels. Yet the gains are concentrated in a handful of exporters, leaving much of the domestic economy struggling to keep pace. On Tuesday, the Bank of Korea reported that gross domestic product grew 1 p

By Korean Food Promotion Institute Dubujorim is one of the most familiar side dishes on a Korean table. It is the kind of banchan that appears alongside a bowl of rice when little else is in the refrigerator. The name combines "dubu," or tofu, with "jorim," a cooking method in which ingredients simmer in a soy-based sauce until the liquid reduces and is absorbed. The same technique is used for potatoes, black beans, lotus root and fish such as mackerel and hairtail. What sets this dish apart is

By Eleni Stefania Kalapoda On Oct. 22, at a ceremony in Eindhoven in the Netherlands during Dutch Design Week, Korea left the FRAME Awards 2026 with two of its most coveted titles. Mongtan Aewol, a restaurant on Jeju Island’s western shore designed by the Seoul studio Beodd, was named restaurant of the year with a score of 9.38, the highest for any spatial winner this year. Burdifilek’s Cosmetics Floor at Hyundai Jungdong in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, was named multibrand store of the year. Bes

Dear Annie: My 86-year-old mom recently had a fall. I rushed her to the ER, where doctors found a small brain bleed. She was home within 48 hours, saying she felt fine and that the bleeding had stopped. But three days later, she developed strokelike symptoms, and I called 911. She spent the next month in the hospital and rehab, suffering a second brain bleed and seven seizures. I was there every day helping feed and care for her. Not one of her friends visited her the entire time. Now that she's

For decades, Germany and South Korea have built a strong relationship through trade, investment, technological exchange and the shared historical experience of national division. Today, that relationship has acquired a more consequential strategic dimension. As Europe confronts its most serious security crisis since the end of the Cold War, South Korea has emerged as an important partner in rebuilding European defense industrial capacity. For Germany and Korea, this presents an opportunity to tu

This hearty Korean rice soup features a light, refreshing broth filled with tender zucchini and savory pork. The subtle umami of salted shrimp and fish sauce adds depth to the broth, creating a rich yet refreshing flavor in every spoonful. Add a bowl of rice to the soup and enjoy a comforting homemade meal that warms you from the inside out. For a different twist, you can also add sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes) or noodles to suit your taste. Try this recipe from W Table. Main ingredients: Seaso

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's surprise visit to Dandong, China, last week generated conflicting interpretations. Some analysts linked it to a possible North Korea-US summit; others interpreted Chinese President Xi Jinping's absence as evidence of friction between Pyongyang and Beijing. Unfortunately, Kim's determination to expand economic cooperation with China received insufficient attention. Understanding Kim's diplomacy requires examining his objectives and calculations rather than relyin

Today’s economic growth depends heavily on AI investment and fiscal spending. The International Monetary Fund estimates that artificial intelligence could add up to half a percentage point to annual global growth over the next decade, raising the average rate from 3 percent to 3.5 percent. In the United States alone, Big Tech firms are projected to spend $650 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026, from data-center construction to equipment purchases. According to JPMorgan, AI-related investment h

Korea’s marine waste up 20% in 4 years 한국 해양 폐기물, 4년간 20% 증가 The amount of marine waste collected from South Korean waters rose nearly 20 percent over four years, with submerged waste such as discarded fishing gear showing a sharper increase, government data showed. 한국 해역에서 수거된 해양 폐기물의 양이 4년간 약 20% 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 폐어구 등 바닷속에 가라앉은 해양 폐기물은 더 큰 폭으로 늘었다.
