![]() ![]() The traditional food eaten during 설날 (Seollal). Which means “I bowed to my grandfather saying "Happy New Year." (Saehae bok mani badeuseyo."rago iyagihamyeonseo harabeojiege jeoreul haetsseumnida.) You can convert it into in informal Korean and say 새해 복 많이 받아 (Saehae bok mani bada) to your friends to mean “Happy New Year!” With friends because this phrase is in formal Korean. (Saehae bok mani badeuseyo.) literally means “please receive a lot of luck in the New Year’s Day” or you can translate it as “Happy New Year!”. Like you say, “Happy New Year!” on New Year’s Day or New Year’s Eve to friends, to your family, you can use this phrase to anyone you meet on the New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. “Please receive a lot of luck in the new year.” Here, I used the word 큰집 (keunjip) which really means “big house” which can be something like the house which has the oldest son of the family.ģ. Which means “On the New Year’s Day, we go to the big house to have memorial to ancestors.” (Seollareneun jesareul jinaegi wihaeseo keunjibe gamnida.) And then the whole family gather together and bow to their ancestors like considering that they are sitting behind the table to show the respect and show their thankness to the ancestors. So people prepare food on the big table fish, meat, fruits, rice and something that ancestors like grandfather/grandmother’s like. So 제사 (jesa) “memorial to ancestors” is one of the big event in Solar New Year’s Day. “Lunar New Year's Day is on January 1st in the lunar calendar.” So it usually falls in late January or February because it’s based on lunar calendar. So, you know like, there are two New Year’s Day in South Korea which is신정 (sinjeong), the New Year's Day based on solar calendar and the other one is 설날 (seollal), the Lunar New Year's Day. In this media, we’ll be talking about one of the most important and biggest holidays in South Korea which is 설날 (Seollal), the Lunar New Year’s Day. May you are blessed with more happiness, more success and more goodness… Wishing a blessed Korean New Year to our clients.Hi, everyone! I’m Jaehwi. ![]()
