Improve Your Korean 021 왜 설날에는 떡국을 먹고 돈을 받을까? Why Do Koreans Eat Tteokguk & Give Money on New Year's Day?

from KoreanBuddyKjin · host Korean Buddy K.JIN 케이진

Korea has two big holidays: Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). But there are two special traditions that only happen on Seollal. People eat tteokguk (rice cake soup) and perform sebae (a deep bow to elders). After sebae, elders give sebaetdon (New Year’s money) to younger family members. But why do people do this on Seollal? Let’s talk about the reasons and meanings behind these traditions! 😊📌 ⁠www.youtube.com/@케이진kjin⁠📌 If you join the YouTube membership, you can enjoy the extended podcast content.
