Main summary
Key takeaways
Main ideas and lessons from the lecture
1) Exam overview & structure
- The lecturer reviews the 2023 1st past exam (Korean subject) focusing on questions 1–25.
- Overall exam structure is similar to the previous one, including:
- Same subject weighting
- A new work appearing in the poetry (literature) section
- Throughout the exam, the emphasis is on solving by applying the exam’s expected logic and the given textual/condition rules in each part:
- Rhetoric / grammar / literature / classics / reading
2) Rhetoric (question types and key proverb meanings)
Question 1: Meaning/word usage by region
- The question asks you to choose the most appropriate explanation about regional vocabulary variation.
- Core lesson:
- The same object may have different names depending on the region.
- Answer logic described:
- The correct option is the one stating that vocabulary differs by region, even if the referent is the same.
- Correct answer stated: #3
Proverbs based on speech/discourse “habits”
The lecturer notes that proverbs about speech have appeared before and may reappear.
- “Words without feet travel a thousand miles.”
- Meaning: words spread quickly → be cautious.
- “You can pick up an arrow once it’s shot, but you can’t take back words once they’re spoken.”
- Meaning: once said, you can’t fix it → words have irreversible consequences.
- “Powder becomes finer the more it is sifted, but words become rougher the more you speak them.”
- Meaning: speaking too much can escalate into conflict → restrain speech.
- Combined lesson: “Speak carefully / be careful with your words.”
- Clarification added:
- It’s not “don’t say what you want,” but “if you don’t hold back, words become rough.”
- The emphasis is on measured speech and proper listening, not an immediate reaction.
- Correct answer stated: #1
3) Grammar section guidance (starting from question 3)
- Grammar topics mentioned include:
- Causative-passive verb elements
- Standard pronunciation rules
- Honorifics
- Middle Korean content
- The lecturer notes the exam seems to balance these topics.
4) Passive vs. causative (and why object presence matters)
Passive formation method (with examples)
- Passive is defined as: something is done to you.
- Passive construction methods described:
- Add a passive prefix/suffix pattern to the verb stem
- Passive suffix mentioned: “i-hi-ri-gi”
- Alternative form: “eo-ji-da”
- Post-noun attachment patterns using “(after a noun)” style structure (as described)
- “doeda” (to become) is also referenced as part of the passive construction approach
What is a “verb stem”?
- Stem is defined as:
- the part of the word that does not change at the ending segment.
Distinguishing passive (#4 vs others) using object logic
- Teaching key:
- Passive and causative may share similar-looking affixes (e.g., “hi”), so you must check whether the sentence requires an object.
- Causative mnemonic:
- Causatives are remembered as “moksam-dong” (making someone do something).
- Causative verbs always take an object.
- Example interpretation logic in the lecture:
- The correct option is the one where an object exists, leading to answer #4.
- Additional caution:
- Some verbs may look like they fit causative/passive patterns but are actually active verbs, requiring re-checking.
- Example discussed:
- “balgida / to reveal” is treated as an active verb, not causative/passive.
5) Standard pronunciation rules (double consonant + linking sounds)
Double consonants and formal morphemes
- Some pronunciation issues involve double consonants that appear under specific conditions.
- “Particles/endings/suffixes” are treated as formal morphemes (no substantive meaning).
- Core mechanism:
- When formal morphemes attach, you link/move only part of the pronunciation, which can create tense/double consonants.
Linking sounds (“yeoreum”)
- Defined as:
- pronouncing consecutively while moving only the sound of the latter element.
- The lecturer emphasizes:
- “Yeoreum” does not fit neatly into substitution/contraction/addition/deletion categories, so students must apply it directly.
- Correct answer stated for the described pronunciation question: #3
6) Honorifics (subject vs. object honorifics)
Types of honorifics
- Korean honorifics are described as having three categories:
- Subject honorifics
- Object honorifics
- Addressee honorifics
- Addressee honorifics are easier to identify because the politeness level is obvious.
How to identify object honorifics
- Strict method emphasized:
- Object honorifics use an adverbial particle such as “kkae”,
- followed by one of the special respect-encoding words.
- “Four types of special words” referenced:
- what / be / give / ask / serve / bring-in type words are used as the recognition set.
-
Answer identification uses:
- predicate scanning, and/or
- a “cleaner” method using the object-honorific recognition set (serve/give/ask/etc.).
-
Correct answers mentioned:
- #2 for one honorific question
- later reinforced by the memory structure around serve/offer/give/ask
7) Writing / long passage questions (proposal + revision and coherence)
Question 6–7: Long passage scenario and draft usage
- A writing task based on a draft is described (including “Ga”, “Mu-reup” referenced in text).
- Warning:
- Students shouldn’t skip “Ga” content even if it feels information-heavy.
Genre understanding: “proposal”
- Proposal definition:
- Writing meant to persuade someone who can implement solutions for a problem.
- Audience/structure in the lecture:
- Audience is the principal
- Must include:
- Problem scenario (experience)
- Solution (suggested system)
- Expected effects if accepted
- Support with relevant legal basis
Example passage content breakdown (as described)
- Situation:
- School store food causes students stomachaches.
- Concern:
- Food safety negligence.
- Solution:
- Introduce an in-school food safety guardian system (parents/students).
- Legal reference:
- Special Act on the Safety Management of Children’s Dietary Life
Question 6 conclusion
- The lecturer checks which item is not reflected properly.
- Missing/unsupported part identified:
- no specific “life investigation results.”
- Correct answer stated: #4
Question 7: Rewriting (“rewriting” constraints)
- Warning:
- Rewriting is not creative reconstruction from scratch.
- Requirement:
- Compare what each option changes so tone/logic remains consistent while changes are appropriate (e.g., tense placement and required contrast markers).
- Correct answer stated: #4
- Coherence rule emphasized:
- If the text requires opposing content, use conjunctions like “however / but” rather than “so.”
8) Middle Korean (historical grammar phonology)
- Core idea:
- Middle Korean orthography involves connected/broken sound representation, with certain elements becoming “severed” depending on conditions.
- Phonology clusters and modern interpretation:
- double consonant clusters in Middle Korean (e.g., confusion like “gyeop/ssang” types),
- modern interpretation: treat them as one unit and handle tense consonant matching with following vowels.
- Correct answer concluded for the described question: #3
9) Literature: Modern poetry and modern novel
Poetry: Yi Yuk-sa’s “Climax” (questions 9–11)
- The lecturer says the poet is recognizable, mentioning a background related to historical independence activism.
- The “new appearance” of the work in the exam is highlighted.
- Theme/explanation approach:
- imagery representing:
- horizontal vs. vertical limits,
- extreme psychological desperation,
- and hope/resilience turning
- imagery representing:
- Key metaphor explained:
- “Winter must be a rainbow made of steel”
- Steel = harsh/cold ordeal (colonial hardships)
- Rainbow = hope/beauty/will to overcome
- For question 11:
- the answer is described as an attitude/value compatible with nature/human coexistence and/or resilience.
- Correct answer stated: #4
Modern novel: Kim Yu-jeong’s “Bombom”
- The lecturer notes recurring familiarity but a long absence.
- Theme overview:
- humorous conflict between:
- a naive daughter-in-law and
- a cunning father-in-law,
- set in a 1930s rural village, not primarily focused on farmer hardship.
- humorous conflict between:
-
Reading strategy:
- Don’t skip the early plot summary.
- In limited time, circle characters and track their actions quickly.
-
Question conclusions (as described):
- A persuasion-method question: correct answer #1
- A rural village setting question: correct answer #2
- (Includes narrative persuasion logic and scene-setting confirmation based on rural village markers.)
10) Classics section (Gasa/Sijo and Pansori Chunhyangjeon)
“Sangchueun Gong” (spring appreciation; questions 15–16)
- Described as a gasa work with lyrical characteristics.
- Key interpretation:
- speaker pride/satisfaction living close to nature vs. the “secular world”
- Rhetorical/nature imagery:
- spring blossoms, willows, drizzle, birdsong
- Devices:
- rhetorical questions and lyrical structure patterns
-
Structural/format teaching:
- differences in gasa vs sijo meter
- refrain segmentation (as summarized), linked to goryeo song/hyangga characteristics
-
Answers:
- For the question focused on lyric characteristics: #1
- For the speaker description question: the correct option is justified using the “verifiability in the excerpt” rule (described as framed around selecting the “perfect theme,” without a re-numbered explicit label in that portion).
“Chunhyangjeon” (questions 17–19)
- Lecture emphasis:
- frequent reappearance across editions,
- recommend reading the question first to locate the needed passage efficiently.
- Pansori-novel characteristics explained:
- strong rhythm
- repeated sentence structures
- word-order play and figurative comparisons
- origin logic:
- entertaining old tales → pansori singing → later written form
- For question 18:
- repetition/structure and figurative comparisons are treated as key.
-
For question 19:
- Chunhyang’s integrity/fidelity interpreted via symbolism:
- rocks/trees = integrity
- wind and snow = trials/hardships
- includes the scene of the secret inspector meeting and identity recognition
- Chunhyang’s integrity/fidelity interpreted via symbolism:
-
Correct answers stated:
- #1 for the final described one (fine-officials irony and Chunhyang’s tears of joy/acknowledgment)
11) Reading section (questions 20–25): method + contextual vocabulary + “right to forget”
General reading strategy
- Warning:
- Don’t treat reading as separate preparation—read thoroughly.
- Method:
- Question-first, passage-later
- For each question:
- Read the question
- Scan the relevant part of the passage
- Check each option in order
Handling unfamiliar vocabulary in context
- Identify nearby sentence components first.
- Then match the target word to the closest real-world category/meaning implied by the context.
Questions 20–22: Urban parks & accessibility (Lee Yun-gil, “Walking Through the City”)
- Key ideas:
- definitions and functions of urban parks
- “socially vulnerable” groups and why access is limited
- Context vocabulary example:
- “finding a park” inferred as “go to that place”
- correct option chosen as “place/location” rather than objects/abstract states
- Question 22 solution logic:
- find the mismatch between measures and reasons
- choose the option that addresses earlier accessibility problems (e.g., public transportation access and circulation paths)
- Correct answer stated: #3
Questions 23–25: “right to forget” vs “right to know” (Nietzsche + legal rights)
- Passage framing:
- forgetting is described as an active force enabling acceptance of new things,
- but internet traces/photos can harm people.
- Main concepts:
- Right to request deletion (“right to forget”)
- legal guarantee is needed because personal deletion alone is limited
-
Conflict mentioned:
- some argue legal recognition may violate the right to know.
-
Answer outcomes (as described):
- Question 23: #1
- rationale: the lecture chooses the option that does not fit “expansion” (others are summarizing/interviewing/debating).
- Question 24: correct answer #3 (selected by grounds logic)
- Question 25: insertion/revision mechanics are described, but the final number is not clearly restated in this excerpt.
- Question 23: #1
