1. 1

   A 지우야, 기사 봤어. 솔직히 좀 속상해.

   Jiuya, gisa bwasseo. Soljiki jom soksanghae.

   Jiwoo, I saw the article. Honestly, I'm a bit upset.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 아... 나도 아침에 보고 너한테 먼저 전화하려고 했어. 네 말이 많이 잘렸지?

   A... nado achime bogo neohante meonjeo jeonhwaharyeogo haesseo. Ne mari mani jallyeotji?

   Oh... I saw it this morning and was about to call you first. A lot of what you said got cut, right?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 잘린 정도가 아니야. 나는 '그만두고 싶을 때도 있지만 이 일이 좋아서 버틴다, 다만 야근을 당연하게 여기는 문화는 바뀌어야 한다'고 했잖아.

   Jallin jeongdoga aniya. Naneun 'geumandugo sipeul ttaedo itjiman i iri joaseo beotinda, daman yageuneul dangyeonhage yeogineun munhwaneun bakkwieoya handa'go haetjana.

   It's worse than cut. I said, 'There are times I want to quit, but I stay because I love the work. It's just that a culture that takes overtime for granted has to change.'

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 응, 녹음 원본에도 그대로 있어.

   Eung, nogeum wonbonedo geudaero isseo.

   Yeah, it's all there in the original recording.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 근데 기사에는 '그만두고 싶다'는 말만 들어갔어. 앞뒤를 다 빼니까 완전히 반대 뜻이 됐잖아. 진짜 황당해.

   Geunde gisaeneun 'geumandugo sipda'neun malman deureogasseo. Apdwireul da ppaenikka wanjeonhi bandae tteusi dwaetjana. Jinjja hwangdanghae.

   But the article only has the words 'I want to quit.' With everything around it taken out, it means the complete opposite. It's absurd.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 미안해. 원고는 제대로 썼는데, 편집장님이 지면이 부족하다고 마지막에 줄이셨어.

   Mianhae. Wongoneun jedaero sseonneunde, pyeonjipjangnimi jimyeoni bujokadago majimage jurisyeosseo.

   I'm sorry. My draft was right, but the editor-in-chief cut it at the last minute because there wasn't enough space.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그렇게 마음대로 줄여도 되는 거야? 회사 사람들이 이 기사 보면 내가 퇴사 준비하는 줄 알 거야.

   Geureoke maeumdaero juryeodo doeneun geoya? Hoesa saramdeuri i gisa bomyeon naega toesa junbihaneun jul al geoya.

   Can they just cut it however they like? People at work will read this and think I'm getting ready to leave.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 네 입장이면 충분히 화날 법해. 너희 팀장님도 봤대?

   Ne ipjangimyeon chungbunhi hwanal beopae. Neohui timjangnimdo bwatdae?

   In your shoes, anyone would be angry. Has your team leader seen it?

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 아직 모르겠어. 근데 벌써 동기 두 명한테서 연락 왔어. 헛소문 퍼지는 건 순식간이야.

   Ajik moreugesseo. Geunde beolsseo donggi du myeonghanteseo yeollak wasseo. Heotsomun peojineun geon sunsikganiya.

   I don't know yet. But two people who joined with me have already messaged. Rumours spread in no time.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 이건 명백히 인용이 잘못된 거야. 정정 보도를 요청할 수 있어.

    Igeon myeongbaeki inyongi jalmotdoen geoya. Jeongjeong bodoreul yocheonghal su isseo.

    This is clearly a misquote. You can ask for a correction.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 친구가 쓴 기사인데 내가 요청해도 돼? 너한테 피해 가는 거 아니야?

    Chinguga sseun gisainde naega yocheonghaedo dwae? Neohante pihae ganeun geo aniya?

    It's my friend's article. Is it okay for me to ask? Won't it get you into trouble?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 되고말고. 인터뷰한 사람의 의도를 제대로 전하는 게 기자 일이야. 오해는 빨리 풀어야지.

    Doegomalgo. Inteobyuhan saramui uidoreul jedaero jeonhaneun ge gija iriya. Ohaeneun ppalli pureoyaji.

    Of course it's okay. A reporter's job is to get across what the interviewee meant. We need to clear up the misunderstanding fast.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그래도 편집장님이 싫어하시지 않을까?

    Geuraedo pyeonjipjangnimi sireohasiji aneulkka?

    Won't your editor mind, though?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 편집장님은 싫어하실 테지만, 틀린 건 고쳐야지. 이런 일이 처음도 아니고.

    Pyeonjipjangnimeun sireohasil tejiman, teullin geon gochyeoyaji. Ireon iri cheoeumdo anigo.

    She probably won't like it, but what's wrong has to be fixed. It's not the first time this has happened.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그럼 뭐라고 요청하면 돼? 나 이런 거 처음 해 봐.

    Geureom mworago yocheonghamyeon dwae? Na ireon geo cheoeum hae bwa.

    So what do I say when I ask? I've never done this before.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 신문사 홈페이지에 정정 보도 요청 게시판이 있어. 원래 한 말 전체랑 기사에 나간 문장을 나란히 적어서 올리면 돼.

    Sinmunsa hompeijie jeongjeong bodo yocheong gesipani isseo. Wollae han mal jeoncherang gisae nagan munjangeul naranhi jeogeoseo ollimyeon dwae.

    The paper's website has a page for correction requests. Just post what you actually said in full next to the sentence that ran.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 녹음 파일도 같이 내야 할까?

    Nogeum paildo gachi naeya halkka?

    Should I send the recording too?

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 그건 내가 낼게. 나도 편집 과정에서 의도가 바뀌었다고 데스크에 따로 보고할 거야.

    Geugeon naega naelge. Nado pyeonjip gwajeongeseo uidoga bakkwieotdago deseukeue ttaro bogohal geoya.

    I'll send that. I'm also going to report to the desk that the meaning changed during editing.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 고마워. 회사 사람들한테는 내가 따로 해명해야겠다. 근데 종이 신문은 벌써 다 배달됐잖아.

    Gomawo. Hoesa saramdeulhanteneun naega ttaro haemyeonghaeyagetda. Geunde jongi sinmuneun beolsseo da baedaldwaetjana.

    Thanks. I'll have to explain things to people at work myself. But the print edition's already been delivered.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 온라인 기사는 오늘 안에 고칠 수 있을 테지만, 종이 신문은 내일 자 지면에 정정문이 실릴 거야. 내가 끝까지 챙길게.

    Ollain gisaneun oneul ane gochil su isseul tejiman, jongi sinmuneun naeil ja jimyeone jeongjeongmuni sillil geoya. Naega kkeutkkaji chaenggilge.

    The online article can probably be fixed today, but for the print edition the correction will run in tomorrow's paper. I'll see it through to the end.
