1. 1

   A 어제 너희 토론 프로 끝까지 봤다. 솔직히 말해도 되지? 한쪽으로 좀 치우쳤더라.

   Eoje neohui toron peuro kkeutkkaji bwatda. Soljiki malhaedo doeji? Hanjjogeuro jom chiuchyeotdeora.

   I watched your debate show last night, all the way through. Can I be honest? It leaned to one side a bit.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 아빠까지 그러기야? 공정하게 하려고 한 달 내내 그렇게 애썼건만. 어느 쪽으로 치우쳤는데?

   Appakkaji geureogiya? Gongjeonghage haryeogo han dal naenae geureoke aesseotgeonman. Eoneu jjogeuro chiuchyeonneunde?

   Not you too! I worked so hard for a whole month to make it fair. Which way did it lean?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 주 사일제 찬성 쪽. 그쪽 교수가 말할 땐 사회자가 고개를 끄덕이고, 반대쪽 사장님이 말할 땐 자꾸 끊었잖아.

   Ju sailje chanseong jjok. Geujjok gyosuga malhal ttaen sahoejaga gogaereul kkeudeogigo, bandaejjok sajangnimi malhal ttaen jakku kkeuneotjana.

   Toward the four-day-week side. When their professor spoke, the host kept nodding, and when the business owner on the other side spoke, he kept cutting him off.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 발언 시간은 초시계로 쟀어. 양측 다 정확히 십이 분 삼십 초야. 사장님은 시간을 넘겨서 끊은 거고.

   Bareon siganeun chosigyero jaesseo. Yangcheuk da jeonghwaki sibi bun samsip choya. Sajangnimeun siganeul neomgyeoseo kkeuneun geogo.

   We timed the speaking with a stopwatch. Both sides got exactly twelve minutes thirty seconds. The business owner was cut off because he went over his time.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 시간이 같다고 공정한 건 아니지. 그 교수 말투 봤냐? "내 말이 틀렸으면 반박해 보오. 나는 이 문제만 삼십 년을 연구한 사람이오." 아주 거들먹거리더라.

   Sigani gatdago gongjeonghan geon aniji. Geu gyosu maltu bwannya? "Nae mari teullyeosseumyeon banbakae boo. Naneun i munjeman samsip nyeoneul yeonguhan saramio." Aju geodeulmeokgeorideora.

   Equal time doesn't make it fair. Did you hear how that professor talked? 'Refute me, then, if I am wrong. I have devoted thirty years to this very question.' He was so full of himself.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그 교수님 그렇게 말 안 했거든? 아빠가 흉내 내니까 사극에 나오는 대감 같잖아.

   Geu gyosunim geureoke mal an haetgeodeun? Appaga hyungnae naenikka sageuge naoneun daegam gatjana.

   He did not talk like that. The way you do him, he sounds like a minister in a period drama.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 내 귀에는 딱 그렇게 들렸다. 자막도 찬성 쪽 말만 부각했더라. '주 사일제, 생산성 오히려 높인다.'

   Nae gwieneun ttak geureoke deullyeotda. Jamakdo chanseong jjok malman bugakaetdeora. 'Ju sailje, saengsanseong ohiryeo nopinda.'

   That's exactly how it sounded to me. And the captions only played up what the pro side said. 'Four-day week actually boosts productivity.'

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 바로 다음 자막은 못 봤어? '중소기업, 일손 부족 더 심해진다.' 똑같은 크기로 나갔어. 잠깐, 이것 좀 봐.

   Baro daeum jamageun mot bwasseo? 'Jungsogieop, ilson bujok deo simhaejinda.' Ttokgateun keugiro nagasseo. Jamkkan, igeot jom bwa.

   Didn't you see the very next caption? 'Small businesses: labour shortage will get worse.' It went out at exactly the same size. Wait, look at this.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 뭔데? 아침부터 휴대폰을 코앞에 들이밀고 그래.

   Mwonde? Achimbuteo hyudaeponeul koape deurimilgo geurae.

   What is it? Shoving your phone in my face first thing in the morning.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 시청자 게시판이야. 이 글은 '기업 편만 드는 방송'이래. 바로 밑에 있는 글은 '노동자 편만 드는 방송'이고. 밤새 이런 항의가 삼백 개 넘게 올라왔어.

    Sicheongja gesipaniya. I geureun 'gieop pyeonman deuneun bangsong'irae. Baro mite inneun geureun 'nodongja pyeonman deuneun bangsong'igo. Bamsae ireon hanguiga sambaek gae neomge ollawasseo.

    It's the viewers' message board. This post calls it 'a show that only takes the companies' side'. The one right below calls it 'a show that only takes the workers' side'. Over three hundred complaints like that came in overnight.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 허, 양쪽에서 다 욕을 먹었네. 그럼 너희는 균형을 잘 잡았다고 생각하겠구나.

    Heo, yangjjogeseo da yogeul meogeonne. Geureom neohuineun gyunhyeongeul jal jabatdago saenggakagetguna.

    Huh, you got it from both sides. So I suppose you lot think that means you got the balance right.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 선배들은 그렇게 말하더라. 양쪽이 똑같이 화가 났으면 제대로 한 거라고.

    Seonbaedeureun geureoke malhadeora. Yangjjogi ttokgachi hwaga nasseumyeon jedaero han georago.

    That's what the senior producers said. If both sides are equally angry, you did it right.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그건 좀 게으른 생각이다. 둘 다 화가 난 건 방송이 어느 쪽도 제대로 못 보여 줘서일 수도 있잖아.

    Geugeon jom geeureun saenggagida. Dul da hwaga nan geon bangsongi eoneu jjokdo jedaero mot boyeo jwoseoil sudo itjana.

    That's a rather lazy way of thinking. Both sides being angry could just mean the show didn't do justice to either of them.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B ...그 말은 좀 아프네. 사실 편집하면서 양쪽 다 제일 센 말만 남겼거든. 시청률 때문에.

    ...Geu mareun jom apeune. Sasil pyeonjipamyeonseo yangjjok da jeil sen malman namgyeotgeodeun. Sicheongnyul ttaemune.

    ...Ouch, that one stings. Actually, when we edited it, we only kept the strongest lines from both sides. For the ratings.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 거 봐라. 센 말만 남기니까 보는 사람은 싸움 구경만 하고, 왜 그렇게 생각하는지는 모르는 거야.

    Geo bwara. Sen malman namginikka boneun sarameun ssaum gugyeongman hago, wae geureoke saenggakaneunjineun moreuneun geoya.

    See? When you only keep the strongest lines, viewers just watch a fight and never learn why anyone thinks what they think.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 근데 아빠, 이상하다? 아까는 찬성 쪽으로 치우쳤다며. 지금은 양쪽 다 제대로 못 보여 줬다는 거잖아.

    Geunde appa, isanghada? Akkaneun chanseong jjogeuro chiuchyeotdamyeo. Jigeumeun yangjjok da jedaero mot boyeo jwotdaneun geojana.

    But Dad, isn't that odd? A minute ago you said it leaned toward the pro side. Now you're saying it didn't do justice to either side.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 그, 그건... 네 얘기를 듣고 보니 생각이 좀 바뀌었다. 나도 공정하게 봐야지.

    Geu, geugeon... ne yaegireul deutgo boni saenggagi jom bakkwieotda. Nado gongjeonghage bwayaji.

    W-well... Now that I've heard you out, I've changed my mind a bit. I ought to be fair too.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 잠깐. 게시판에 '편파 진행, 공정성 실종'이라는 글이 있는데 아이디가 '북한산호랑이'야. 아빠 등산 모임 닉네임이잖아.

    Jamkkan. Gesipane 'pyeonpa jinhaeng, gongjeongseong siljong'iraneun geuri inneunde aidiga 'Bukhansanhorangi'ya. Appa deungsan moim ningneimijana.

    Wait a sec. There's a post on the board saying 'Biased host, fairness gone missing', and the username is 'BukhansanTiger'. That's your hiking club nickname.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 에헴. 시청자로서 정당한 의견을 낸 것뿐이다. 새벽 한 시에 잠이 안 와서.

    Ehem. Sicheongjaroseo jeongdanghan uigyeoneul naen geotppunida. Saebyeok han sie jami an waseo.

    Ahem. I was simply exercising my right as a viewer. I couldn't sleep at one in the morning.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 딸이 만든 방송에 새벽에 항의 글 쓰는 아빠가 어디 있어? 그렇게 공들여 만들었건만 항의가 우리 집에서까지 나오네.

    Ttari mandeun bangsonge saebyeoge hangui geul sseuneun appaga eodi isseo? Geureoke gongdeuryeo mandeureotgeonman hanguiga uri jibeseokkaji naone.

    What kind of dad posts a complaint about his own daughter's show in the middle of the night? I put so much into it, and now the complaints are coming from my own home.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 대신 제일 꼼꼼하게 본 시청자도 우리 집에 있잖아. 다음 주엔 센 말 말고 이유를 들려줘. 그럼 칭찬 댓글 달아 주마.

    Daesin jeil kkomkkomhage bon sicheongjado uri jibe itjana. Daeum juen sen mal malgo iyureul deullyeojwo. Geureom chingchan daetgeul dara juma.

    But the viewer who watched most closely lives here too. Next week, give us the reasons, not just the strongest lines. Then I'll post a compliment.

    Line 21
