Is it possible to create something completely new when making something?

Since experience with existing things forms the basis of creation, I think complete creation is impossible.

What does Christianity think about the theory of evolution?
사람마다 다르지만 어떤 사람은 창조 후에 진화가 일어났을 거라고 생각하기도 해.
It varies by person, but some people think evolution might have happened after creation.
이 논문은 창작이 아니라 다른 논문을 모방한 것 같습니다.
This paper seems to be an imitation of another paper, not an original creation.

This photo looks a bit unnatural somewhere.
응. 연출한 게 너무 티가 난다.
Yeah, it's too obvious that it was staged.
파티 규모는 어느 정도로 예상하시나요?
What scale are you expecting for the party?
연출하시는 분 의견에 따라야지요.
We have to follow the opinion of the person directing it.

최근 시작한 드라마는 지루하고 재미가 없어서 사람들이 많이 안 보는 것 같아.
The drama that just started seems boring and not fun, so I don't think many people are watching it.
그래서 시청률이 낮은가 봐.
That's probably why the ratings are low.

These 18 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 8 4급 words in this category — 창조, 창작, 대사, 연출하다, 대사 and the rest. Each is two turns, so what you see is not only how the word is used but what it is usually said in answer to.
They are written examples rather than transcribed speech, so they are tidier than a real conversation and shorter. What they are not is translated English: they were written in Korean, by Korean lexicographers, to show how the word behaves — which is why the speech levels and the sentence endings in them are worth copying.
