Seollal – The Lunar New Year Celebration
Similar to Vietnam, South Koreans also celebrate the Lunar New Year with a variety of exciting activities, with the traditional Seollal festival being the most prominent.
Before the Lunar New Year, South Koreans clean and decorate their homes and streets, prepare traditional foods specific to the holiday, and buy gifts to exchange with friends and family.
On New Year’s Day, people of all ages in South Korea wear traditional hanbok, enjoy classic holiday dishes, play folk games, and gather together to share joyful stories. For Koreans, Seollal is not just a time to mark the new year but also a chance to reunite with family and pay respects to ancestors and elders.
Yeouido Spring Flower Festival

The Jinju Lantern Festival is one of the oldest festivals in South Korea. It is typically held every February, where on the main festival day, locals gather by the Nam River to light and release colorful lanterns.
