Lunar New Year’s Day is coming!

Lunar New Year’s Day, which is called Seol-nal in Korean, is one of the biggest holidays of the year in Korea. It is sometimes known as 'Chinese New Year's day', and it is on the first day of a year according to the lunar calendar

In Korea, Lunar New Year’s Day is traditionally the day that family and relatives gather around.

Some people may be dressed in Han-bok (Korean traditional clothes)

When families gather together, we sometimes play traditional Korean games.

One of them is called Yut-nori which is a game of yut(4 wooden sticks).

How to play the game of yut

-Players are spitted into different teams (usually up to 4 teams) and each team takes turn to cast the yut one member of team at a time.

-According to the score chart, each team’s marker can move. If a player scores yut or mo, they can cast the yut again.

-If a marker lands on a station that other team’s marker is on, the marker that was on the station earlier is removed and placed on the starting position. In this case, the team who claimed the station can cast the yut again.

-The markers travel around the board forward only and the marker that travels back to the starting position, following team scores a point.

-The first team to score points with all markers wins the game.

It’s really easy to put on weight on Lunar New Year’s Day because the traditional foods that people eat on this day are very delicious.

[ID Hospital Blog] How Korea Celebrates Seol Nal (Lunar New Year)

How Korea Celebrates Seol Nal (Lunar New Year)

Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, February 18), Koreans will start the celebration of Lunar New Year or Seol Nal (설날). Along with the harvest holiday Chuseok, Seol Nal is one of the most important holidays in Korea.

The holiday is very family orientated with people traveling back to their hometowns to spend time with family and friends. If you ever visit Seoul during this holiday, it is very strange sight indeed to see the normally bustling streets so empty!

So what do Koreans do at family gatherings? While people used to wear the colorful Korean traditional costume hanbok (한복), nowadays many people forgo that custom and just wear regular everyday clothes. Children will wish their elders a fruitful, healthy and happy new year by performing a deep bow called jeol (절). Elders will at times gift children with New Year’s money similar to the Chinese New Year tradition. The entire family will then eat ddukguk (떡국), a soup with sliced rice cakes. It doesn’t feel like New Year if you don’t eat ddukguk!

The rest of the day may be filled with playing traditional games such as yut nori (윳놀이), though in present day families may forgo the games just to sit and talk and spend valuable time with each other.

For many Koreans, Seol Nal is a welcome chance to get away from the bustling chaos of everyday life and enjoy the undisturbed company of loved ones. To start the New Year with cherished family and friends, refreshed and recharged!

If you are currently living in Korea or have any Korean friends or family, now is the perfect time to greet them with “say hae-bok mah nee bah deu sae yo” (새해복 많이 받으세요, which means ‘please receive many blessings in the New Year’). We at ID Hospital also wish all of our valued patients and friends a prosperous, blessed and happy New Year!

Real people, real results
