Talk To Me In Korean

January 1st in the lunar calendar falls on February 17th this year, and that's 설날 (Seollal), Lunar New Year in Korea. In this episode, we are going to talk about which parts of the traditional holiday are changing, and what's not changing.

Dialogue from Seyo App
남: 내일 우리 회식하는 날 맞죠? 
여: 네. 지난번에 갔던 삼겹살집 예약할까요?
남: 거기는 어려울 것 같아요. 매주 목요일 휴무래요.
여: 그럼 다른 곳 찾아볼게요.
