Korean households depend on the on-dol system to get through the cold winters.
* household: 가정, family
* get through the winter: 겨울을 버티다.
The on-dol system is different from the central air system used in the West.
* central air (system): 중앙 공조 시스템
ex> The building is heated and cooled through central air.
Central air systems use air vents to blow heated air throughout the home.
* air vent: 통풍구, 환기구
cf> vent out frustration/anger: if you vent your feeling, you express them forcefully.
The on-dol system, on the other hand, actually uses the hot water itself.
ex> I want to tell you the truth, but on the other hand, I don't want to hurt your feelings.
The hot water flows through pipes laid underneath the rooms.
* laid underneath: ~의 아래에 설치된
ex> In most Korean households, water pipes are laid underneath the floors.
The heat created from the floor eventually circulates and makes the room warmer.
ex> I heard that his pictures are circulating on the internet.
