Seollal - Korean Lunar New Year Culture

Seollal - Korean Lunar New Year

On January 31 the representatives of the Korean diaspora celebrated Seollal - Lunar New Year. Seollal for Koreans is a special occasion for family re-union. On this day the young people have to visit the senior members of the family and in token of respect to do “a sebe” ceremony (a belt-low bow).  Seniors in their turn give the young people their blessing. It is also a time to pay respect to ancestors. It is believed that a good spirit of this day lays a positive foundation for the rest of the year and, therefore, people celebrate Seollalin in a big way and with all their hearts.

"The hope for Kashagan, has not materialised," he told trend over the phone on Tuesday. "Even last year, there was hope of extracting oil from Kashagan.
