What is the difference between 관객 and 청중. Do both mean 'public'? How might we use both words in context?
1 Answer
관객
means "spectator" and 청중
means "audience". 관객
indicates people watching something visual, while 청중
means people listening to something auditory. But I think you don't have to distinguish them because visual contents and sounds are used simultaneously nowadays.
관
in 관객(觀客)
means "see", and 청
in 청중(聽衆)
means "listen to".
