On January 22, 2011, dozens of families joined The Korea Society to celebrate sŏllal, Korean New Year. Participants enjoyed a day of fun-filled family activities such as storytelling, the New Year’s bow (sebae), traditional games such as yutnori, kite-making, and other crafts. As a bonus, tasty Korean treats such as param ttŏk, mujigae ttŏk, and sik‘ye were sampled by all. Unforgettable memories were made at The Korea Society! We hope to see everyone next year!
