써니: 소식 들으셨어요?
Did you hear the news?
써니: 이번 주 토요일에 광화문 광장에서 BTS 공연한대요.
BTS is performing at Gwanghwamun Square this Saturday!
코지: 헐, 정말요?
Wait, seriously?
고니: 네, 전 이미 알고 있었죠.
Yup! I, my friends😎, already knew that.
코지: 와, 진짜 대박이네요.
literal : Wow, that’s truly amazing.
natural : That’s insane!
코지: 아니, 근데, 저 복잡한 서울 한복판에서 공연을 하는 게 가능해요?
literal : But wait, is it possible to perform in the middle of that complicated downtown Seoul?
natural : But wait—how is that even possible? It’s so hectic and crowded right in the heart of Seoul.
써니: 그런가 봐요.
I guess so.
써니: 저도 의아했는데, 예전에 비해 지금은 공원처럼 탁 트이게 바뀌어서 공연하기 딱 좋겠더라고요.
literal : I was also puzzled, but compared to the past, they changed the place to be wide open like a park now, so it’s perfect for performing.
natural : I was puzzled at first, too. But the place has changed so much. It’s more like an open park now. It’s actually the perfect spot for a massive stage.
코지: 그렇겠네요.
I can imagine that.
코지: 이순신 장군님이랑 세종대왕님이 딱 서 있는 곳이라 상징성도 대단하겠네요.
literal : Since Admiral Yi Sun-shin and King Sejong the Great are standing right there, the symbolism will be great too.
natural : And with the statues of Admiral Yi Sun-shin and King Sejong standing right in the middle, the vibe is going to be iconic.
고니: 이야! 무대 뒤로 세종문화회관까지 화면에 걸리면 진짜 멋있게 나올 것 같아요.
literal : Wow! If the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts is caught on screen behind the stage, it will look really cool.
natural : Totally! Imagine the Sejong Center in the background on the big screen—it’s going to look incredible.
써니: 그러게 말이에요.
You can say that again.
써니: 근데, 안 그래도 사람 많은 곳인데 그날 인파가 장난 아니겠는데요?
literal : But it’s already a crowded place. On the concert day, the crowd would be no joke!
natural : Hang on, it’s already a busy area. With the fans around the world added to the crowd, it’s going to be jam-packed!
코지: 아무래도 그렇겠죠. 워낙 세계적인 아이돌이라 국내외 팬들이 다 모일 테니까요.
Undoubtedly so. BTS is a global icon, after all. Fans from home and abroad will all gather.
고니: 하긴 그렇겠네요.
literal : I can see your point.
natural : I guess so.
고니: 그러고 보니, 지난주 광화문 근처에 갔다가 ‘대한민국 역사박물관’이란 곳에 다녀왔는데요.
literal : Come to think of it, last week I was in the vicinity of Gwanghwamun and dropped by a place called the ‘National Museum of Korean Contemporary History’.
natural : Speaking of, I just remembered that I was in the vicinity last week and had the chance to look around the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History.
고니: 혹시 가보셨어요?
Have you guys been there?
코지: 네, 저 가봤어요. 거기 옥상이 완전 ‘📌뷰 맛집’으로 소문났잖아요.
literal : Yes, I’ve been there. That rooftop is famous for being a ‘view culinary gem.’
natural : Oh, I have! The rooftop is famous for having one of the best views of the city.
고니: 맞아요. 경복궁 전경도 보고, 한국 근현대사 공부도 하고, 나름 좋더라고요.
literal : That’s right. It was quite nice — seeing the bird-eye view of Gyeongbokgung Palace, studying modern history…
natural : That’s right. You can enjoy the bird-eye view of Gyeongbokgung place whild brushing up on modern history. I had some real quality time there.
써니: 오, 듣고 보니, 광화문 광장이 알게 모르게 볼거리가 꽤 알차네요.
literal : Oh, hearing that, I now realize that Gwanghwamun Square is actually packed with things to see.
natural : Wow, sounds like Gwanghwamun Square has more hidden gems than I thought.
고니: 그쵸? 그런 역사적인 장소에서 BTS가 야외 공연을 한다니, 너무 설레지 않아요?
literal : I know, right? Isn’t it so heart-fluttering that BTS is doing an outdoor performance in such a historical place?
natural : I know, right? So BTS is going to be performing in a place with so much history… It’s so exciting! 😍
코지: 에휴, 그럼 뭐해요.
😮💨 So what?
코지: 티켓 예매는 이미 다 끝났대요.
Ticket reservations are already over. (= Tickets are already sold out.)
코지: 저 진짜 가고 싶었는데...
I really wanted to go...
써니: 아 진짜요? 에이, 아쉬워라.
Oh really? Aww, what a shame.
써니: 그날 공연 보러 가는 사람들 진짜 부럽네요.
literal : I’m so jealous of the people going to see the performance that day.
natural : I’m so jealous of whoever’s going.
코지: 어? 고니님, 그 📌의미심장한 미소는 뭐죠?
literal : Wait… Goni, what’s with that meaning-packed smile?
natural : Wait… Goni, what’s with that suspicious smirk?
고니: 실은, 저, 티켓 예매 성공해서 공연 가거든요.
literal : Actually, I… succeeded in reserving a ticket, so I’m going to the concert.
natural : Well… I actually managed to snag a ticket!
고니: 다녀와서 후기 제대로 들려드릴게요.
literal : I’ll be there and give you a proper review!
natural : I’ll make sure to give you guys a full recap afterward.
코지: 대박! 진짜요?
Amazing! Really?
코지: 나도 진작 알았으면, 예매 시도라도 해봤을텐데... 너무 아쉽다.
literal : If I had known earlier, I would’ve at least tried to reserve a ticket… so disappointing.
natural : If I’d known, I would’ve at least tried to get one.
코지: 아, 진짜 고니님! 너무 부러워요!
Ah, Goni, I’m so jealous!
써니: 코지님, 괜찮아요.
Don’t worry, Cozi.
써니: 이번 콘서트 넷플릭스로 생중계해준대요.
literal : This concert will be streamed live on Netflix — so I heard.
natural : They’re actually live-streaming the whole thing on Netflix.
써니: 우린 집에서 편하게 그거나 봐요.
literal : Let’s just watch that comfortably at home.
natural : We can just enjoy the show from the comfort of our couches!
📌뷰 맛집 In general, '맛집(pronounced as [matjjip]' refers to a culinary gem where people line up to eat. Figuratively, we use the word in the form of '(noun) + 맛집' to describe a place, a brand, or a channel that does something particularly well compared to its competitors. For example, a place that has an exceptionally good view is a 뷰 맛집. A brand that is famous for coats specifically is a 코트 맛집. A Youtube channel that provides playlists with a surprisingly great selection of songs is a 선곡 맛집.
📌의미심장하다 To unravel the literal meaning, 의미 means meaning, 심 means deep, and 장 means long. Put together, 의미심장 means that you are sensing there is a deeper meaning or a hidden hint behind what someone lets on or says. For example, during the above dialogue, Editor Goni put on a cheeky smile as Cozi and Sunny were exchanging regret over not having the tickets. Cozi sensed that there was something more to that smile and asked what was behind her 의미심장한 미소😏!
