하원
"하원" means "dismissal from school" or "leaving kindergarten/school for the day."
In this sentence, '하원' refers to the legislative branch, specifically the House of Representatives, in a political context.
그의 직업은 하원 의원입니다.
His job is a member of the House of Representatives.
Here, '하원' is used in the context of children departing from school to go home.

It is time for children to leave school and return home.
In this example, '하원' again refers to the legislative body but specifically tied to the U.S. government system.
