-(으)ㄴ/는 반면에
-n/neun ban-myeo-ne
while... on the other hand
This expression is a staple for TOPIK II Question 53 and 54. It allows you to present two sides of an issue within a single, complex sentence. Unlike the simple 'but', this structure sounds more academic and objective.
Rewrite drill (5)
Rewrite each sentence using -(으)ㄴ/는 반면에-(eu)ㄴ/neun banmyeone or -기보다는-gibodaneun (keep the original meaning).
