[Yoo Choon-sik] When weak won meets strong questions

The won-dollar exchange rate reached its highest level since the 2008-09 global financial crisis on Friday, setting fresh records both during trading and at the market close. It drew attention not simply because of the scale of the currency’s decline, but because it occurred at a time when headline indicators of the South Korean economy appeared favorable. South Korea is enjoying a surge in exports, led by semiconductors benefiting from the global artificial intelligence boom, and its stock mark

Heart of Woman (H.O.W.), the first girl group formed by the late R&B singer Wheesung's label Blue Brown Records, is drawing attention with its Y2K-inspired debut album "Heart Byte: Legacy" — reviving not only the sounds, but also the album formats and promotional practices that once defined K-pop in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The quintet's first full-length album, released on May 28, contains 13 tracks, including the lead single "Lost in Proof," a polished reinterpretation of new jack swing

KT&G emerges as unlikely foreign favorite

So far, 2026 has been as good as it gets for South Korea's benchmark Kospi, with investors piling into chipmakers and artificial intelligence-driven data center plays. But outside the AI trade, few stocks have attracted as much attention as KT&G. Foreign ownership of the tobacco maker recently exceeded 50 percent for the first time in seven years as its shares climbed to a record 190,000 won ($123), up from a 52-week low of 119,200 won.

What to watch as Xi heads to Pyongyang for summit with Kim

When Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Pyongyang on Monday, what matters may not be what he and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un say behind closed doors, but what they choose to show the world, according to experts on Sunday. Will Kim's daughter, known as Ju-ae, appear alongside the two leaders? Will the summit avoid any mention of denuclearization? Will Beijing signal it is reclaiming influence over a North Korea that has grown increasingly close to Russia? Experts say the rare visit from

"좋은 기록물이 아니라, 등재될 이유를 써라"

세계의 기억이 되려는 기록들이 한자리에 모였다. 국가유산청은 6월 5일 금요일 오후 2시 서울 명동 유네스코회관에서 '세계기록유산 등재추진기관 대상 역량강화 워크숍'을 열었다. 유네스코 세계기록유산(Memory of the World) 국제목록 등재를 준비하는 전국의 추진기관 20여 곳의 실무자들이 모여, 등재신청서 작성의 실무 지침과 심사의 관점을 배우는 자리였다. 필자는 세계기록유산 등재 추진 대표 기록물인 월인천강지곡(1447년 무렵, 세종 친제) 추진위원들과 함께 직접 참관했다. 워크숍은 개회 및 인사말에 이어 세 건의 발표와 등재신청서 작성 사례 분석, 질의응답 순으로 진행됐다. 이날 워크숍의 화두는 분명했다. 신청서 작성의 효율성을 높여 실무 부담을 덜고, 국제 기준에 부합하는 논리 구조로 등재 성공률을 끌어올리며, 무엇보다 심사위원과 신청기관 사이의 간극을 좁히자는 것이다. 기록유산을 아끼는 마음만으로는 부족하다. 그 마음을 유네스코가 읽을 수 있는 언어로 옮기는 기술, 이날 세 발표자가 각자의 자리에서 짚어낸 것이 바로 그 '제대로 옮기기'의 기술이었다. 김귀배 부위원장 "국제자문위원은 한국 전문가가 아니다" 첫 발표는 김귀배 세계기록유산한국위원회 부위원장이 맡았다. '세계기록유산 등재 신청서 작성 실무 가이드'라는 제목 그대로, 신청서 양식의 1번 항목(제목)부터 11번 항목(신청을 지지하는 기타 정보)까지 조목조목 짚어 내려간 축조 해설이었다. 김 부위원장은 시작 전 유의사항부터 못 박았다. 반드시 최신 버전의 등재 신청 양식을 사용할 것, 일반 가이드라인(General Guidelines)과 등재 안내서(Register Companion), 작성 지침(Guiding Notes)을 모두 활용할 것, 그리고 최근 성공한 국내 등재 사례를 예시로 삼아 자문을 받을 것. 그중에서도 청중의 표정을 바꿔 놓은 한마디는 이것이었다. "국제자문위원은 한국 역사와 문화 전문가가 아님을 기억하십시오." 우리에게 자명한 가치도 바깥의 눈에는 낯설다는 것, 신청서는 바로 그 낯선 눈을 향해 쓰는 글이라는 것이다. 등재 절차의 골격도 명료하게 정리됐다. 등재 공고는 2년마다 나오고, 국가당 최대 2건까지 신청할 수 있되 공동 등재는 수량 제한이 없다. 누구나 신청할 수 있으나 제출은 반드시 MoW 국가위원회를 통해야 하고, 소유자와 보관자의 동의는 필수다. 제출된 신청서는 등재소위원회(RSC)의 평가와 질의, 국제자문위원회(IAC)의 권고를 거쳐 유네스코 집행이사회가 최종 승인한다. 김 부위원장은 "등재 과정은 최소 2년이 소요된다"라고 강조했다. 좋은 신청서의 기준으로는 4C를 제시했다. 모든 항목이 채워져야 하고(Complete), 정보가 올바르고 증명 가능해야 하며(Correct), 논리가 분명하고 쉬워야 하고(Clear), 불필요한 사족 없이 핵심만 간결하게(Concise) 담겨야 한다는 것이다. 200단어 이내로 쓰는 요약(Summary)은 "다른 모든 섹션을 완료한 후 가장 마지막에 작성하라"라는 실전 요령도 곁들였다. 항목별 해설에서도 실무자들이 놓치기 쉬운 대목들을 짚었다. 희귀성(7.2.1)에 대해서는 "희귀함과 독특함은 동일한 의미가 아니다"라며 "겸손할 필요는 없지만 과장하지 말라"라고 했고, 위험 평가(9.0)에 대해서는 "유네스코는 실제 상황을 알아야 한다"라며 솔직한 기술을 주문했다. 유네스코의 글로벌 우선 순위인 성평등(7.1.4) 항목은 기록유산이 여성의 역사적 역할과 삶에 대해 무엇을 알려주는지 상세히 기술하라고 했다. 전문가 추천(6.7)에 적는 최대 3명의 독립 전문가 이름과 연락처는 공개되지 않는다는 점, 이해관계자 협의(8.0)에는 지지 서한(Letters of support)을 추가하라는 점도 일러두었다. 기억은 박제된 과거가 아니다... 이현경 위원의 '세계적 중요성' 작성 전략 전체 내용보기
