Living i

during

Words by AARON SNOWBERGER

Korea has been internationally praised

for its response to the global Covid-19

pandemic, but what has it really been

like to like here during this period?

For international readers, as well as a brief review

and reflection on what’s worked and what hasn’t,

here’s an inside look at what it’s been like living in

Jeonju during the outbreak. From canceled events,

to strict social distancing guidelines, and even

postponing the school year for the entire nation,

2020 has certainly been a year to remember, and

not (yet) for really great reasons.

But with “the curve” of coronavirus cases continuing

to flatten in Korea, life is slowly returning to

something that looks a little more “normal.” And

yet, a vaccine appears as of yet still out of reach for

a while, so we may need to get used to this “new

normal” of “in-life social distancing.” But putting

forth a united effort for social problems is one area

where the Korean people really shine, and it’s a

large part of the reason for the country’s success

in dealing with the outbreak so far.

코로나 19 대유행 동안 한국인들의 일상

(번역: 노우정)

한국의 코로나 19 의 적절한 대응으로 국제

사회에서 칭찬받고 있는 가운데, 이곳에 사는

사람들의 실생활은 어떨까요? 여러가지 행사

취소와 강력한 사회적 거리두기, 그리고

적국적인 휴교령까지 올해 2020년은 확실히

기억에 남는 해가 되었습니다. 한국의 코로나

확진자가 줄고 있는 상황에서 사람들의

생활은 점점 ‘일상’으로 복귀하는 것처럼

보이지만, 아직 백신이 개발될 기미를 보이지

않고 있어 ‘새로운 일상인 생활 속 사회적

거리 두기’에 익숙해져야 할 필요가 있습니다.

그러나 사회문제를 위해 모두 단합하여

노력하는 것은 한국인들이 진정으로 빛나는

한 분야로서 현재까지 한국이 코로나19

방역에 성공할 수 있었던 큰 이유 중 하나이다.

新 冠 疫 情 大 流 行 之 间 韩 国 人 们 的 日 常

( 翻 译 : 윤석훈)

对 于 新 款 疫 情 韩 国 适 当 的 回 应 正 在 得 到 国

际 社 会 的 赞 扬 中 , 住 在 这 个 地 方 人 们 的 真

正 生 活 如 何 ? 我 们 仔 细 看 最 近 世 界 媒 体 报

道 的 对 于 韩 国 的 新 款 疫 情 适 应 和 不 适 应 的

回 应 , 而 且 全 州 市 民 对 新 款 疫 情 情 况 之 间

生 活 如 何 。2020 年 将 是 令 人 记 住 不 幸 的 一

年 , 因 为 取 消 各 种 各 样 的 活 动 和 保 持 强 烈

的 社 交 距 离 及 全 国 的 停 课 令 。 韩 国 新 款 疫

情 确 诊 者 减 少 的 情 况 下 , 好 像 平 民 生 活 逐

渐 回 来 ‘ 日 常 ’, 但 还 未 见 开 发 疫 苗 的 迹 象 ,

正 在 ‘ 生 活 防 疫 阶 段 ’ 是 成 为 ‘ 新 日 常 ’。 韩 国

为 解 决 对 社 会 问 题 互 相 作 出 努 力 , 所 以 韩

国 国 民 脱 颖 而 出 。 这 也 是 韩 国 政 府 预 防 新

款 疫 情 大 流 行 的 很 大 的 原 因 。
