En: The traditional markets in Seoul are always bustling. Ko: 늦봄의 따스한 햇살 아래 많은 사람들이 이곳을 찾는다. En: Under the warm sunshine of late spring, many people visit this place. Ko: 각종 천과 복잡한 무늬들이 시장을 더욱 화려하게 만든다. En: Various fabrics and complex patterns make the market even more vibrant. Ko: 상인들은 활기차게 손님을 맞이하며 저마다의 상품을 자랑한다. En: Merchants energetically welcome customers, each proudly showcasing their products. Ko: 미준은 가족 행사를 앞두고 한복을 사야 했다. En: Mijun had to buy a hanbok for a family event. Ko: 그렇다고 돈이 넉넉한 것도 아니었다. En: However, he didn't have plenty of money. Ko: 한복은 전통을 중요시하는 그의 가족에게 필수적이다. En: The hanbok was essential for his family, who placed importance on tradition. Ko: 그래서 가격이 중요했다. En: Thus, the price was a significant consideration. Ko: 하지만 미준은 만족해할 만한 한복을 찾을 수 없었다. En: But Mijun couldn't find a hanbok that he was satisfied with. Ko: \"어디에서 살까요?\" 미준은 걱정 가득한 얼굴로 중얼거렸다.

En: Sujin was a tailor who had worked in this market for a long time. Ko: 그녀는 옷에 대한 깊은 지식을 가지고 있었다. En: She had deep knowledge about clothing. Ko: \"미준 씨, 어떤 스타일의 한복을 찾고 있어요?\" 수진이 물었다. En: \"Mijun, what style of hanbok are you looking for?\" Sujin asked. Ko: \"가족 행사에 맞는 전통적인 한복이요. 그런데 예산이 한정되어 있어서 걱정이에요.\" 미준은 솔직히 자신의 상황을 말했다. En: \"A traditional hanbok suitable for a family event. But I'm worried because my budget is limited,\" Mijun honestly shared his situation.
