Lunar New Year or "Seollal" in Hangeul is more commonly (albeit slightly ignorantly) known as 'Chinese New Year' on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. So what do Koreans do for this holiday? Take a look at Korea Tourism Organization's brief but informative explanation of the holiday. Also, how to say "Happy New Year" in Korean: 새해 복 많이 받으세요 (sae-hae-boke mah-nee bah-dew-say-yo)!
