While the western New Year is celebrated to some degree in Korea today, the traditional Korean or

Lunar New Year, which usually falls at some point in early January or February, is still more important.

The exact dates of the three- day celebration are determined by the phases of the moon and the beginning

of festivities takes place on the first day of the second new moon. It is a very family- centred affair, which

normally sees Koreans return to their hometowns to visit their parents and other relatives, and to perform

an ancestral ritual called “charye”.

The first day is marked by a big meal. Family members usually dress in colourful traditional clothes

known as Hanbok. The family- oriented theme continues throughout the festival, and a number of other

customs are practiced during the three days, including the building and later, burning of moon houses

which are made of firewood and branches. The destruction of the moon houses is a symbolic act intended

to keep off evil spirits for the New Year.
