Seollal is the Korean New Year celebration, marking the first day of the lunar calendar. Families come together to honor their ancestors through a ritual called jesa, where they prepare traditional foods and offer them on a beautifully arranged table. This time is also about wishing for good fortune and health in the coming year.
During Seollal, people often wear hanbok, a traditional Korean dress, and play games like yutnori, a popular board game. Children receive sebae, a bow to their elders, and in return, they are given money or gifts. This festive occasion is filled with joy, family bonding, and cultural traditions.
