Hiding their shoes

Koreans hide their shoes as they believe that if a person’s shoes go missing, it's because ghosts have taken them away and bad luck will follow that person for the whole year.


Hanging strainers on their walls

People rush to the market early in the morning to buy ‘bokjori’ (bamboo strainers), which are hung up high on their houses’ walls to bring/catch good luck and fortune.


‘Sebae,’ the Korean New Year bow

After eating the food, the young members of every family perform a ritual called ‘sebae’ or ‘New Year’s bow,’ which is the act of bowing deeply.
