Had similar experience with my family, we used to do Christmas with like 30 people gathering at my grandmothers house, 3 generations in same house, when she passed away, the tradition was not continued and people just made smaller celebrations with their closer family. The older generations feel a bit like the glue holding it together sometimes
I have a family farm and we used to go out there all the time for various events, family gatherings and stuff. My side of the family doesn't visit much and all the kids have grown up now. It's a bit sad, but all anyone would do out there is drink lots of beer, but it was a family get together none the less.
Traditions change as Elders pass away. The big family get togethers of my childhood memories don't happen anymore. Celebrations are definitely smaller with immediate family now. ❤🇨🇦
your show is awesome man... even though I am Korean-American and have lived in the US for over 40 years, I can still relate to alot of the stuff you talk about on your daily videos. Your commentary often gives me flashbacks of my childhood and it is good to remember those times. Or your opinions keep me updated on what is happening in Korea now.
With everyone’s busy lives it comes to the elder generation to keep traditions alive, when they pass there is. lull until the next generation retires and can take over the helm of keeping traditions and family together. Cheers.
Holidays are usually about spending time with family and friends!! Here in the states that’s usually what we do!! As a young kid growing up in Texas my Mom and Dad were the glue that kept our families together!! Rather it was Christmas or Fourth of July 🇺🇸 everyone gathered at our house for Good food and Fun!! Once my parents passed on everybody just sorta went there separate ways!! So trust me I know the feeling!! Thanks for Sharing with us🙏🏽🔥🍀😃
As a black American, we also had traditions that we did to celebrate Thanksgiving, which is in November of every year. When I was younger, we used to have about 50 families and friends that would come to our house for the traditional holiday.. As we grew up and our parents deceased, we dont get together anymore to enjoy being around our families and friends 💔 Now since covid, nobody gathers anymore to enjoy the beauty of learning some things about history and enjoying the company of one another 😢
Holidays are a lot of work and expense. I think the younger generations enjoyed holidays, but as the elders passed on, I don't think the younger generations had the energy or desire to do the large amount of work traditional holiday celebrations require. I am a great grandmother now. 76 and have not been well for 4 years. My adult children in their 40's and 50's definitely missed all my food and decorations, but only one stepped up to carry on, that is my oldest son, but he lives in another state. He still celebrates the holidays with large gatherings with his family, but I'm not sure any of his children, my grandchildren, would step up once he is no longer capable. He does the majority of the cooking.
You are still with your family. It's the great gift and blessing for your family. I am 25years old. I lost my mother 3years ago. I miss her always, her care... everything. Sometimes I feel if I could hear just her voice!!!
Happy Holidays to you, you are describing a procedure that happened in other countries. I remember as a child that we celebrated the major holidays together with the uncles and aunts and little by little as we got older the gatherings were reduced. Apparently this is a global process in which families split up and sacrifice becomes loose between the parts of the extended family. I think about future generations and my heart aches. I remember these meetings as a source of joy and pleasure and a good feeling of belonging to something big and warm
That hanbok looks lovely on you! Ways of celebrating are bound to change over the years, particularly in future with the rise of single-person households, which I understand are rising in Korea as in the rest of the world
Thanks for sharing this valuable information. I get to know the culture without having been yet to your beautiful country (which I hope one day I'll visit. Nice to see the traditional costume
Национальная одежда - это круто 👍 очень здорово, что она у тебя и у других есть и ты ее надеваешь 👍🔥 я даже по доброму завидую, т.к. у нас празднование в национальной одежде не практикуется 🤷♂️😔. Да, что-то видоизменяется, мы взрослеем, но основное остается незыблемым. думаю через пару-тройку лет ты будешь организовывать и отмечать чхусок в компании 😂
I'm a 41 year old average foreigner in Korea. I played Astrobot for Chuseok too! Platinum trophy! 저는 한국의 평균 41세 외국인입니다. 저는 추석에도 아스트로봇을 플레이했습니다! 플래티넘 트로피!
When i was younger,use to Travel to family, now I'm a great grandmother and most Of family celebrate individually, We may talk on the phone but Mostly celebrate w/immediate Family.
It's important to keep the national traditions and celebrations, not to forget them. Afterall, it's identity of a nation. In my country we still celebrate the most important feasts, especially Christmas and Easter, and others like e.g. All Saints Day. These are not only religious, Catholic celebrations (when we go to church), but also much family ones.
Unfortunately that’s happening with holiday traditions everywhere Sad but true. What do the rainbow striped sleeves on most hanbok represent? A question my Korea born son has asked, but I can’t find the answer 🧐 Happy Chuseok. You’re blessed to still have your grandparents. I hope you got some pocket money ☺️
ugh..any country,ingle or not,any occasion dis days become very expensive & a luxury..i dont even celebrate my own birthday in ph..yall not alone..🤭😜🤭🤣..its fine trust me save d money 4 rainy days😌😌😌😌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Do you wear Han-bok during this holiday only, or do you also wear it for other holidays or festivals? I think the size of family gatherings is the same everywhere. As the older generations pass the younger generations focus on their children, grandchildren. Traditions remain but the family members change. I think that is why we call the good old days ‘the good old days’. We remember the good times and especially our grandparents and parents and other family members. I hope you had a very enjoyable holiday!
Dearest Average Hanguk Namja, (Please read the best wishes at the end.) So sad. 💙⏳⌛ My Family has a similar story of our American Holidays. In addition, we had frequent Sunday Dinners at my Grandparents House. Some of our Aunts & Uncle & Cousins lived nearby & would join us. And, my Grandparents lived across from the best Park in the State! Us Kids always had fun there. 👍 YEARS LATER, I wrote a Poem of those Sunday Diinners. The Family loved it. 😊 So, my Sister made copies & framed them & gave them to family members. At least we all can treasure our best memories. P.S. Your Hanbok looks great! ~May you be blessed with a loving Wife & Kids, despite our global financial hardships. Perhaps, a successful online business from the Countryside. 🙏
In capitalist countries, companies and corporations are the new 'family'. The holidays will shrink from several days to 1 soon, I bet. I would simply suggest KEEP THE ANCESTRAL HOME!, so corporations can't force you to do shit you don't want to do, just to keep a paycheck.
The Korean culture is not as formal as once was and with very low birth rate, it is dying. As a 62 year old Korean/Chinese who lives in America for the last 50 years, it is shame to see the decline of not just the Korean culture but also the Chinese and the Japanese culture. 😔

As we lose these traditions that brought families together, we’re becoming increasingly isolated and alone.
Some of us like it that way.

Please reach out to depressed 50 year old Japanese man for a legendary crossover 🎉

Yes 😁
You look good in your traditional gear🤗
❤❤
I guess that happens to everybody …when my grandparents were alive we would all gather for Christmas…now I never see my cousins anymore.
Korea numba 1! 🇰🇷

Same with me in the US.
I feel like no one is family oriented anymore.
Love your traditional outfit really suits you. 😊

I only wear Hanbok during the new year and Chuseok
Is that a modern Hanbok? I'm so used to seeing the bright colors with the silky/satiny sheen.
Yes, you are correct. It's called 개량 한복. Which means modernized Hanbok
