Topic 2)
한국의 결혼 문화의 문제점은 무엇입니까? 예식장 비용과 더불어 스드메(스튜디오, 드레스, 메이크업)에 많은 비용을 지출하지 않으십니까? 또한 주변 사람들을 의식해서 하객 서비스를 받기도 합니다. 또한 결혼식도 소음이 가득한 상황에서 형식적으로 끝납니다. 어떻게 개선하면 좋을까요?
What are the problems with Korean wedding culture?
In addition to the cost of wedding halls, don't people also spend a lot of money on S.D.M. (studio photography, dress, and makeup)? Moreover, out of concern for how they are perceived by others, some even feel pressured to provide services for guests. Weddings often end up being just formalities, held in noisy environments without much meaning.
How can this be improved?

Like last week, there will be a total of 12 people: myself, a native speaker, and 10 members. If we gather 1 to 3 members (up to 5), we will hold the meeting as one group in one room for 2 hours. If 10, 11, or 12 members attend, we will split into 3 groups. After 1 hour, we will switch members. It should just involve us swapping places so that everyone can interact with the native speaker.
Even if just 1 member comes, we will still hold the meeting with a total of 3 participants.
When you arrive in the room, feel free to greet and chat with the members in English. During the discussion on each topic, you will briefly read the content and share your opinions freely. If the content is long, we can read only part of it and continue the discussion.
Here is the schedule for when we proceed with two groups:
7:00 - 7:20 / Introductions and free talking.
7:20 - 8:10 / Discussion on the first topic.
8:10 - 8:20 / Brief introductions and free talking.
8:20 - 9:00 / Discussion on the second topic.
9:00-9:10 / Everyone will move to the larger room for a newcomer introduction and wrap-up.
After the first round of discussions ends at 9 PM, those who clicked the participation button for the second round will move to a place for drinks or a meal to engage in free talking in English. Details for the second round will be announced separately.
The second round is expected to take place from around 9:20 to 11:00 PM. . The cost for native English or foreigner is free.
