Cultural Context
In Korean journalism, '단독 인터뷰' (exclusive interview) is a major scoop and newspapers heavily market them — being the only outlet to land an interview with a politician or star can drive weeks of coverage. The word 인터뷰 is also used for job interviews in English-speaking companies, though native Koreans more often say '면접' for employment contexts. Long-form interviews called '심층 인터뷰' (in-depth interviews) are a core feature of outlets like 시사인 and 한겨레21.
