신식 할머니

1. 본문

"신식 할머니" translates to "Modern Grandma" in English.

Here's a breakdown and more context:

• 할머니 (halmeoni): Means "grandmother" in Korean.
• 신식 (sinsik): Means "new style," "modern," or "up-to-date".

The term was used as the title of a 1964 South Korean film directed by Baek Ho-bin. The movie is about a "modern grandmother" who is very progressive. She reads *Time* magazine, discusses sex issues with her granddaughter's husband, and advocates for gender equality. She dates, supports her grandchildren's modern values, and stands up against traditional arranged marriages. The film portrays a generational shift, and the "modern grandmother" character challenges the stereotypical image of a conservative older person.
