    Korean New Year (Seollal) Song

    I remember when I was a kid growing up in Korea, all my relatives would gather for the new year, called Seollal 설날 in Korean. We would eat delicious rice cake soup, play traditional games like yutnori, and even get gifts from our elders for performing an elaborate bow to thank them for everything they do for us. 

    So here’s my song, Korean New Year—설날 all about this wonderful holiday. 

    I hope this new year is filled with joy for you and your loved ones—or as they say in Korean, 새해 복 많이 받으세요!
