   B 준우야, 표정이 왜 그래? 학교에서 무슨 일 있었어?

   Junuya, pyojeongi wae geurae? Hakgyoeseo museun il isseosseo?

   Junwoo, what's with the face? Did something happen at school?

   A 아빠, 나 오늘 담임 선생님한테 혼났어. 어젯밤에 반 단톡방에 뉴스 하나를 올렸는데 그게 가짜였어.

   Appa, na oneul damim seonsaengnimhante honnasseo. Eojetbame ban dantokbange nyuseu hanareul ollyeonneunde geuge gajjayeosseo.

   Dad, I got told off by my homeroom teacher today. Last night I posted a news item in our class group chat, and it turned out to be fake.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 무슨 뉴스였는데?

   Museun nyuseuyeonneunde?

   What kind of news?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A '속보, 태풍으로 내일 서울 초중고 전면 휴교.' 이런 거였어. 방송국 로고까지 붙어 있어서 진짜인 줄 알았지.

   'Sokbo, taepungeuro naeil Seoul chojunggo jeonmyeon hyugyo.' Ireon geoyeosseo. Bangsongguk rogokkaji buteo isseoseo jinjjain jul aratji.

   "Breaking: all Seoul schools closed tomorrow due to typhoon." Something like that. It even had a TV station's logo, so I thought it was real.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 그래서 친구들이 오늘 학교에 안 온 거야?

   Geuraeseo chingudeuri oneul hakgyoe an on geoya?

   So some of your friends didn't come to school today?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 몇 명은 진짜 안 왔어. 나는 확인한다는 게 깜빡하고 무심코 공유해 버렸고.

   Myeot myeongeun jinjja an wasseo. Naneun hwaginhandaneun ge kkamppakago musimko gongyuhae beoryeotgo.

   A few really didn't. I meant to check it, but I forgot and just shared it without thinking.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 아빠가 기자로 일하면서 보니까, 그게 제일 흔한 실수야. 빨리 알리고 싶은 마음이 앞서면 누구나 성급해지기 쉽거든.

   Appaga gijaro ilhamyeonseo bonikka, geuge jeil heunhan silsuya. Ppalli alligo sipeun maeumi apseomyeon nuguna seonggeupaejigi swipgeodeun.

   From what I've seen as a journalist, that's the most common mistake there is. When you're eager to tell people first, anyone can get hasty.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 근데 진짜 뉴스 화면이랑 완전 똑같았어.

   Geunde jinjja nyuseu hwamyeonirang wanjeon ttokgatasseo.

   But it looked exactly like a real news screen.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 어디 보자, 휴대폰 줘 봐. 우선 기자 이름이 없지? 진짜 속보면 방송사 홈페이지에도 같은 기사가 실시간으로 올라와.

   Eodi boja, hyudaepon jwo bwa. Useon gija ireumi eopji? Jinjja sokbomyeon bangsongsa hompeijiedo gateun gisaga silsiganeuro ollawa.

   Let's see, give me your phone. First, there's no reporter's name, right? If it were real breaking news, the same story would go up on the broadcaster's website in real time.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 아, 방송사 홈페이지에서 한 번만 찾아봤으면 됐겠네.

    A, bangsongsa hompeijieseo han beonman chajabwasseumyeon dwaetgenne.

    Oh, so if I'd just checked the broadcaster's website once, that would have done it.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 그리고 휴교는 교육청에서 결정하니까 교육청 공지가 제일 정확해. 태풍 정보는 기상청에서 확인하고. 뉴스보다 출처가 먼저야.

    Geurigo hyugyoneun gyoyukcheongeseo gyeoljeonghanikka gyoyukcheong gongjiga jeil jeonghwakae. Taepung jeongboneun gisangcheongeseo hwaginhago. Nyuseuboda chulcheoga meonjeoya.

    And school closures are decided by the education office, so its notices are the most reliable. Typhoon information, you check with the weather service. The source comes before the news.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 여기 자세히 보니까 날짜도 이상해. 원래 있던 날짜를 지운 자국이 있어.

    Yeogi jasehi bonikka naljjado isanghae. Wollae itdeon naljjareul jiun jagugi isseo.

    Looking closely, the date's weird too. There's a mark where the original date was erased.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 잘 봤네. 옛날 태풍 때 기사 화면을 누가 날짜만 바꿔서 퍼뜨린 것 같다. 이미지 검색을 해 보면 원본이 나올 거야.

    Jal bwanne. Yennal taepung ttae gisa hwamyeoneul nuga naljjaman bakkwoseo peotteurin geot gatda. Imiji geomsaegeul hae bomyeon wonboni naol geoya.

    Good eye. Looks like someone took a screen from an old typhoon story, changed the date and spread it around. If you do an image search, the original should come up.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 진짜 나왔어. 2년 전 태풍 때 뉴스 화면이네. 누가 이걸 처음 퍼뜨렸는지 내가 꼭 찾아낼 테다.

    Jinjja nawasseo. 2nyeon jeon taepung ttae nyuseu hwamyeonine. Nuga igeol cheoeum peotteuryeonneunji naega kkok chajanael teda.

    It really did. It's a news screen from a typhoon two years ago. I'm going to find out who spread this first, no matter what.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 찾고 싶은 마음은 알겠어. 그런데 범인을 찾는 것보다 먼저 할 일이 있지 않을까?

    Chatgo sipeun maeumeun algesseo. Geureonde beomineul channeun geotboda meonjeo hal iri itji aneulkka?

    I understand wanting to find them. But isn't there something you should do first?

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 먼저 할 일? ...아, 단톡방에 정정 글부터 올려야겠다.

    Meonjeo hal il? ...A, dantokbange jeongjeong geulbuteo ollyeoyagetda.

    Something first? ...Oh, I should post a correction in the group chat.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 그렇지. 네가 올린 거니까 네가 바로잡는 게 맞아. 경솔했다고 솔직하게 사과하고, 원본 사진도 같이 올려.

    Geureochi. Nega ollin geonikka nega barojamneun ge maja. Gyeongsolhaetdago soljikage sagwahago, wonbon sajindo gachi ollyeo.

    Right. You posted it, so it's on you to set it straight. Admit honestly that you were careless, and post the original picture too.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 알았어. "어제 올린 휴교 소식은 가짜였어. 확인 안 하고 올려서 미안해." 이렇게 쓰면 될까?

    Arasseo. "Eoje ollin hyugyo sosigeun gajjayeosseo. Hwagin an hago ollyeoseo mianhae." Ireoke sseumyeon doelkka?

    Okay. "The school-closure news I posted yesterday was fake. Sorry for posting it without checking." Would that work?

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 좋아. 그리고 처음 퍼뜨린 사람을 찾으면 망신 주지 말고 선생님께 조용히 말씀드려. 기자도 사실을 전하지, 사람을 벌주지는 않거든.

    Joa. Geurigo cheoeum peotteurin sarameul chajeumyeon mangsin juji malgo seonsaengnimkke joyonghi malsseumdeuryeo. Gijado sasireul jeonhaji, sarameul beoljujineun ankeodeun.

    Good. And if you find who started it, don't shame them; tell your teacher quietly. Journalists report the facts; they don't punish people.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 알았어. 다음부터는 공유하기 전에 출처부터 확인할게. 아빠 같은 기자가 되려면 아직 멀었네.

    Arasseo. Daeumbuteoneun gongyuhagi jeone chulcheobuteo hwaginhalge. Appa gateun gijaga doeryeomyeon ajik meoreonne.

    Got it. Next time I'll check the source before sharing. I've still got a long way to go before I'm a journalist like you.
