Translator’s Notes:
(1) One of the Korean customs of the Lunar New Year is that children bow (kowtow) to their seniors, while the elders in turn that receive the bow returns to them words of praise, and money.
(2) A corruption of the phrase ‘chic city girl.’ Used to describe the calm, collected, modern image of city girls. Note that the first word is literally translated as ‘cold’, that is, ‘cold city girl’.
