Test your knowledge on the customs, foods, and family traditions of South Korea's most important holiday, including ancestral rites and tteokguk.
Seollal, or Korean Lunar New Year, typically spans three days, with the main day in 2027 falling on February 7th. This holiday is one of South Korea's most important traditional observances, marked by a national movement as millions travel to their hometowns to reunite with family. It emphasizes family bonds, respect for elders, and honoring ancestors.
Central to Seollal celebrations are customs such as charye, an ancestral memorial rite often involving a table meticulously set with various foods as an offering, and sebae, the tradition where younger family members bow deeply to elders to receive blessings for the new year. A customary food eaten on Seollal is tteokguk, a rice cake soup, which symbolizes gaining a year in age and wishing for good fortune.
