📝 About Seollal 2027
Seollal is the Korean Lunar New Year, one of the most important traditional holidays in South Korea, celebrated on the first day of the lunar calendar, which typically falls in late January or February. Families gather for ancestral rites called charye, during which they prepare elaborate offerings and bow before memorial tablets honoring their forebears. Traditional foods include tteokguk, a rice cake soup that symbolizes gaining a year of age, and families play folk games such as yutnori, a board game dating back centuries. Children perform a deep bow called sebae to their elders and receive cash gifts in embroidered silk pouches, and millions of Koreans travel to their hometowns, creating one of the country's largest annual migration events.
