Great video. Thank you Unnie for sharing with us the details about Seollal. In Southern state of India, Tamil Nadu & Kerala we also celebrate new year which comes in the month of April (usually on April 14th or 15th). The celebration is the same like S.Korea. We meet our friends & relatives, get blessings from our elders and receive money, we have a traditional meal in banana leaf and go to worship places. In other parts of India, it is celebrated on different months as per tradition.
Korean Unnie, you are the best! Out of all the Korean publications that make these types of videos, yours are at the top. They are enjoyable to watch, aren't overly produced, and your English is great. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for this!! My daughter is 25% Korean from her father and as she gets older, we try to teach her more of her background. This was a fun and clear way to explain the New Year. ❤
Great to review this traditions again. I am an early childhood teacher in New Zealand and I am going to talk about these traditions as we celebrate Lunar New Year today at preschool. Thanks for the video.
Your New Years sounds more fun! We try to celebrate it here but we don’t know all the traditions. Thanks for helping me learn! How many days does it last?
Spring Festival and New Year's Day are different festivals. They celebrate the same thing, but there are many different things such as the actions, food, prayers, and origins of the day.

@@space.qk29 你说的没有错。但你忽略了一个前提，就是文化影响力。韩国人或许认为自己过的不是“Chinese New Year”，而是"Korea New Year“，甚至100年后，北朝鲜人认为他们过的应该叫"North Korea New Year"，南朝鲜人认为他们过的叫“South Korea New Year”，南北两国认为自己过的新年也不是同一个节日，但那又怎样呢？也只有你们自己这样认为而已，西方世界还是认为这两个节日都是“Chinese New year”。就好像韩国人现在已经是最虔诚的基督教国家了，也没有人会认为圣诞节是韩国的节日，我相信韩国人应该也不会想要在100年后把圣诞节改名叫“Koristmas”吧，毕竟最早过圣诞节的还是欧洲人，最早过“Chinese New Year”的还是中国人，欧洲人和中国人都还没有灭绝呢。
I really like this video. Relaxing, funny, fun and informative. Cool! Thanks, Korean Unnie and Korea Now! It's too early to congratulate, I guess. haha Silly cousins. They really ask a lot of strange questions. ;) It seems people in different countries are not that different. But as for the new year, even though it is celebrated through various events, even festivals and fireworks - since there are relatively many Chinese people working in my country - celebrating Lunar new year is not a part of tradition and for the rest of the people it's a normal day.
If it weren't for the fact that China's influence has become greater in the past ten years. Who cares about your Chinese New Year in English-speaking countries? Let alone the dispute between Chinese new year and Lunar new year? What's more funny is Korea new year. How long have you been popular with Korean Wave? Which English-speaking countries have come to celebrate your Korea new year?
Merry Korea Christmas，korea new year there no more long holiday from there Country. Koreans write New Year's couplets in black with white papers, wear white hats and send chrysanthemums, which really learns the essence of Chinese funerals!👌
Another new year, people are still arguing Chinese, Korean, or Lunar New Year. I don't think they are good names, as I knew so many nationalists "I am not Chinese, so I don't that name!" "Ours is more authentic!" "We have our Korean local traditions about it!" "It is originally from China!" So people just want to "own it". But if you really like something, you will hope it widely spread. You will share it, instead of owning it. As a lover, the best case is that people take it as just the New Year instead of "certain certain culture". To distinguish the common Gregorian New Year, there are many options other than the annoying "Lunar New Year". In Japanese, it's often called Old January, and in Chinese, it's sometimes called New Spring.
Happy Chinese New Year! You want to celebrate with us we are happy. but if you trying to change the name and then just like your guys so used to it.....（ Inscription Mid-Autumn Festival) as yours today ? 😅 Chinese people will never accept. What amazing people!
I wonder why it's Romanized as Seollal when it clearly has a ㄴ in the Korean word, and I can even hear it being pronounced when it's said by a Korean. Romanization annoys me.
한국에 '로마자 표기법'이라는 것이 있습니다( 한글 단어를 영어로 표기할 때는 발음되는 대로 표기한다 ) 천천히 끊어서 발음하면, 설-날(Seol-nal) 이라고 발음하지만, 빠르게 연달아서 발음하면 설랄(Soellal)이라고 발음한다고 표기법에 적혀있습니다 하지만 그것과는 별개로 '설랄'이라고 발음하는 사람도 있고 '설날'이라고 글자 그대로 발음하는 사람도 있습니다
@@MrJunGeol Thank you for responding. As my previous statement indicates, I know about Romanization. That said, I couldn't help but notice that our host is pronouncing the ㄴ. Thank you for clarifying that some people pronounce it one way while others pronounce it another way; but overall, when pronounced quickly, one can expect that it might sound more like how it is spelled via Romanization. That helps a lot! I appreciate it.

Koreans are not celebrating Chinese New Year. They celebrate the Lunar New Year. It could be called Korean New Year, but not Chinese New Year. Not offended but it is different.
@@parkwilliam2869 S.Koreans are protesting for Chinese ppl not to call it Chinese New Year but Lunar New Year. But here they are promoting “Korean New Year”...
I don't wanna call it Chinese New Year, because the culture belongs to all the people in East Asia.Territory doesn't equal to culture. I don't wanna call it Korean New Year, because people may wanna be 'special and localized' and lose their traditions. The territory is not all you have. I like Chinese and Korean people, but I don't like chauvinism and xenophobia Well actually...my point is that I don't wanna call it Lunar New Year, because it's not lunar! The calendar is a lunisolar one HHH Hearing Lunar New Year at first, what I thought was in the Islamic calendar. One day we would Happy New Year in summer if it were lunar. So I will just say East Asian Traditional New Year or just Traditional New Year based on the context
Historically yes. However, this is our native culture after long time. So, we call Lunar new year because most asia countries have their own lunar new year. That’s why we call korean new year as korean. We didnt ignore chinese new year or disagree chinese new year. We didnt say korean new year is original. LOL There is japanese new year. Why not? But we totally call it lunar new year. For example, Bath house originated from greek. But we dont call all bath house as greek bath house. (Japan,Hungary,Rome,Turkey etc.)
@@오스만-k7q Please don't confuse cultural and normal life terms. Can we call English Amerish or Canarish? By the way, if other Asians can respect Chinese culture as the origin of Chinese New Year, I don't think Chinese people will be angry about it. At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Greece is always the first country to enter the stadium because we respect the origin of the Olympic Games.
@@rxz3926 Don you know why we call china ‘Medium country’? (中國) Cuz the chinese are too narrow-minded for china to be called ‘Big country’, but the china’s territory is too freaking large to be called small country. The Sinocentrism is too much now. All nations hate china except Russia. China is Isolated from the international community by it self, not by usa. All always fight with other countries, always insist all lands and seas are chinese, all history is chinese(tibet,mongolia,Manchuria,Uyghur).

@@parkwilliam2869 lol you guys began to celebrate the festival until 1990s. By the way, it is from China and stop calling Korean new year. Go and check the history.
I hope that some bloggers will do some popular science videos to popularize Christmas, Halloween, and Easter in Korea. Before World War I, Koreans invented Christmas, Halloween and Easter, and after the war, shameless European and American soldiers stole their traditional holidays, but everyone knows that Christmas is Korean, and I want to speak up for the cosmic smecta thief and help it get back Christmas and other festivals!!!!
Great video, but how do you guys celebrate Korean Christmas? Korean Mardi Gras? Korean 4th of July? I would much prefer to be able to see more about your culture which I am sure is very rich given the thousands of years it had developed for
The fact which can not be avoided is that the lunar new year in South Korea is deeply influenced by Chinese new year，the traditions are similar，too.You can get the provement in the ancient historic pieces,which were all written in Chinese. It is a shame that mordern Korean can not understand these pieces

实际上，叫“Lunar new year”是不准确的，因为传统的中国历结合了太阳和月亮的运行规律，是一种阴阳合历。所以叫“ Lunisolar New Year“更合适。不过我个人还是推荐直译中国人的叫法“Agricultural Calendar New Year”。
