   B 도현아, 다음 주 총학생회 후보 토론회 생방송 기획안 봤지? 이번엔 후보 세 팀 다 섭외했어. 다들 말깨나 한다는 사람들이라 불꽃 튈 거야.

   Dohyeona, daeum ju chonghaksaenghoe hubo toronhoe saengbangsong gihoegan bwatji? Ibeonen hubo se tim da seoboehaesseo. Dadeul malkkaena handaneun saramdeurira bulkkot twil geoya.

   Dohyun, you've seen the plan for next week's live student council debate, right? This time I've booked all three tickets. They're all known as big talkers, so there'll be sparks.

   A 네, 봤어요. 근데 선배, 솔직히 말해도 돼요? 작년 토론회 동시 접속자가 열두 명이었어요. 시청자라고는 동아리 사람들뿐이었다고요.

   Ne, bwasseoyo. Geunde seonbae, soljiki malhaedo dwaeyo? Jangnyeon toronhoe dongsi jeopsokjaga yeoldu myeongieosseoyo. Sicheongjaragoneun dongari saramdeulppunieotdagoyo.

   Yes, I saw it. But can I be honest? Last year's debate had twelve concurrent viewers. The only viewers we had were our own club members.

   B 열두 명? 에이, 그 정도는 아니었을 텐데.

   Yeoldu myeong? Ei, geu jeongdoneun anieosseul tende.

   Twelve? Come on, it can't have been that bad.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 진짜예요. 접속 기록도 다 캡처해 놨어요. 댓글은 딱 하나 달렸고요.

   Jinjjayeyo. Jeopsok girokdo da kaepcheohae nwasseoyo. Daetgeureun ttak hana dallyeotgoyo.

   It's true. I've got screenshots of the viewer stats. And there was exactly one comment.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B ...그래, 인정. 작년엔 후보들이 써 온 원고만 읽다가 끝났지. 그래서 올해는 뭘 바꾸자는 건데?

   ...Geurae, injeong. Jangnyeonen hubodeuri sseo on wongoman ikdaga kkeunnatji. Geuraeseo olhaeneun mwol bakkujaneun geonde?

   ...Okay, fair. Last year the candidates just read out their prepared scripts and that was it. So what do you want to change this year?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 첫째, 실시간 댓글로 학생들 질문을 받는 거예요. 둘째, 후보들끼리 삼십 초씩 반박할 기회를 주고요.

   Cheotjjae, silsigan daetgeullo haksaengdeul jilmuneul banneun geoyeyo. Duljjae, hubodeulkkiri samsip chossik banbakal gihoereul jugoyo.

   First, we take questions from students in the live comments. Second, we give the candidates thirty seconds each to rebut one another.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 댓글 질문은 위험해. 한 후보 지지자들이 몰려와서 상대 후보 공격하는 질문으로 도배하면 어떡할 건데?

   Daetgeul jilmuneun wiheomhae. Han hubo jijijadeuri mollyeowaseo sangdae hubo gonggyeokaneun jilmuneuro dobaehamyeon eotteokal geonde?

   Comment questions are risky. What if one candidate's supporters flood in and spam questions attacking the others?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 그래서 질문은 작가 두 명이 먼저 걸러서 올릴 거예요. 후보마다 받는 질문 수도 똑같이 맞추고요.

   Geuraeseo jilmuneun jakga du myeongi meonjeo geolleoseo ollil geoyeyo. Hubomada banneun jilmun sudo ttokgachi matchugoyo.

   That's why two writers will screen the questions before they go up. And every candidate gets the same number of questions.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 반박 시간은? 말 잘하는 후보만 유리해지는 거 아니야? 토론회가 말싸움 대회가 되면 곤란해.

   Banbak siganeun? Mal jalhaneun huboman yurihaejineun geo aniya? Toronhoega malssaum daehoega doemyeon gollanhae.

   And the rebuttals? Doesn't that just favour whoever's the smoothest talker? We can't have the debate turn into a shouting match.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 그래서 타이머를 화면에 크게 띄울 거예요. 삼십 초 지나면 마이크가 자동으로 꺼지고요. 사회자인 저도 예외 없어요.

    Geuraeseo taimeoreul hwamyeone keuge ttuiul geoyeyo. Samsip cho jinamyeon maikeuga jadongeuro kkeojigoyo. Sahoejain jeodo yeoe eopseoyo.

    That's why we'll put a big timer on the screen. After thirty seconds the mic cuts out automatically. No exceptions, not even for me as host.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 너까지 끊긴다고? 그건 좀 웃기겠다. 근데 순서는? 마지막에 말하는 후보가 제일 유리하잖아.

    Neokkaji kkeunkindago? Geugeon jom utgigetda. Geunde sunseoneun? Majimage malhaneun huboga jeil yurihajana.

    Even you get cut off? That'll be kind of funny. But what about the order? Whoever speaks last has the biggest advantage.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 순서는 질문마다 추첨으로 정할게요. 추첨하는 장면도 그대로 생방송으로 내보내고요.

    Sunseoneun jilmunmada chucheomeuro jeonghalgeyo. Chucheomhaneun jangmyeondo geudaero saengbangsongeuro naebonaegoyo.

    We'll draw lots for the order on every question. And we'll show the draw live too.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 좋아, 공정성은 그 정도면 됐고. 그래도 재미가 없으면 소용없어. 작년처럼 원고만 읽으면 아무도 안 봐.

    Joa, gongjeongseongeun geu jeongdomyeon dwaetgo. Geuraedo jaemiga eopseumyeon soyongeopseo. Jangnyeoncheoreom wongoman ilgeumyeon amudo an bwa.

    Okay, that's fairness covered. But it's no use if it's boring. If they just read scripts like last year, nobody will watch.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그래서 마지막 코너로 '학식 한 끼'를 넣었어요. 학식 가격 문제를 어떻게 할 건지 후보들이 일 분 안에 답하는 거예요.

    Geuraeseo majimak koneoro 'haksik han kki'reul neoeosseoyo. Haksik gagyeok munjereul eotteoke hal geonji hubodeuri il bun ane dapaneun geoyeyo.

    That's why I've added a final segment called 'One Cafeteria Meal.' The candidates get one minute to say what they'd do about cafeteria prices.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 오, 그건 다들 궁금해하겠다. 공약에 학식 얘기 없는 후보가 없으니까.

    O, geugeon dadeul gunggeumhaehagetda. Gongyage haksik yaegi eomneun huboga eopseunikka.

    Oh, everyone will want to hear that. There isn't a candidate whose platform doesn't mention the cafeteria.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 그리고 하나 더요. 작년엔 사회자가 너무 점잖아서 분위기가 처졌다는 평이 동아리 안에서도 많았어요.

    Geurigo hana deoyo. Jangnyeonen sahoejaga neomu jeomjanaseo bunwigiga cheojyeotdaneun pyeongi dongari aneseodo manasseoyo.

    And one more thing. Plenty of people in the club said last year the host was so stiff the whole thing dragged.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 야, 작년 사회자가 나였거든? 지금 나 돌려서 까는 거지?

    Ya, jangnyeon sahoejaga nayeotgeodeun? Jigeum na dollyeoseo kkaneun geoji?

    Hey, I was last year's host, you know. Are you taking a dig at me?

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 돌려서가 아니라 대놓고요. 그 댓글 하나가 뭐였는지 아세요? 선배 목소리가 너무 차분해서 자장가 같았대요.

    Dollyeoseoga anira daenokoyo. Geu daetgeul hanaga mwoyeonneunji aseyo? Seonbae moksoriga neomu chabunhaeseo jajangga gatatdaeyo.

    Not a dig, a direct hit. Know what that one comment said? That your voice was so calm it was like a lullaby.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 허, 그 댓글이 내 유일한 시청자 반응이었구나. 좋아, 올해는 네 식대로 해 봐. 선만 넘지 마.

    Heo, geu daetgeuri nae yuilhan sicheongja baneungieotguna. Joa, olhaeneun ne sikdaero hae bwa. Seonman neomji ma.

    Huh, so that comment was my only viewer feedback. Fine, do it your way this year. Just don't cross the line.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 걱정 마세요. 재미는 제가 챙기고, 공정성은 선배가 챙기시면 되잖아요. 근데 선배는 방송 날 뭐 하실 거예요?

    Geokjeong maseyo. Jaemineun jega chaenggigo, gongjeongseongeun seonbaega chaenggisimyeon doejanayo. Geunde seonbaeneun bangsong nal mwo hasil geoyeyo?

    Don't worry. I'll handle the fun, and you handle the fairness. So what will you be doing on the day?

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 나? 댓글 거르는 작가 해야지. 올해도 시청자라고는 우리 동아리뿐이면 질문까지 내가 다 써서 올려야 할 거 아니야.

    Na? Daetgeul georeuneun jakga haeyaji. Olhaedo sicheongjaragoneun uri dongarippunimyeon jilmunkkaji naega da sseoseo ollyeoya hal geo aniya.

    Me? I'll be one of the writers screening the comments. If our only viewers are the club again this year, someone's got to write all the questions.
