Say "Jihawweb" Instead of "Dark Web"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jong-gil] On the 6th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Institute of the Korean Language recommended replacing 'Glove Wall' and 'Dark Web' with the Korean terms 'Uiryoyong Bunlibyeok' (medical separation wall) and 'Jihawoeb' (underground web). 'Glove Wall' refers to a device that installs medical gloves on a transparent wall so that medical staff can collect specimens without direct contact with the person being tested. 'Dark Web' refers to websites that can only be accessed using specific programs. It is often exploited for cybercrime because servers and users cannot be found by normal methods. The two organizations decided at the Saemal Meeting, which ended on the 1st, that 'Uiryoyong Bunlibyeok' and 'Jihawoeb' are appropriate Korean alternatives. The Saemal Meeting is a committee that provides easy-to-understand Korean replacement words for difficult foreign neologisms before they spread among the general public. Experts from various fields including Korean language, foreign languages, education, promotion and publishing, information and communication, and media participate.
