Happy (Lunar) New Year!

"Happy New Year" in Korean is "새해 복 많이 받으세요"(pronounced "saehae bog manh-i bad-euseyo"). [This is a loose translation.] 

 

The Lunar New Year, called, "설날" (pronounced "Seollal") is apparently one of the

most important holidays celebrated in Korea. It is a national holiday where people travel

to see their family members and celebrate the Lunar New Year (January 22-24th).

One custom is to watch the sunrise of the new year. Cheers to a super Seollal Sunrise!
