It's important to understand that of course we celebrate January 1st as the start of a new year but Lunar New Year or (μ€λ ) is more traditionally celebrated as the start of the new year and there are much more traditions associated with that holiday! β
That being said tho, there is a tradition that Korean families will do during new years and that is: eating ricecake soup! or λ‘κ΅!!!
This tradition originates from the original Korean age system where everyone turns a year older on January 1st! Even though there is no official Korean age anymore, people still use it for the most part. Drinking/eating ricecake soup on January 1st symbolizes eating another year and turning a year older!
So if you want to celebrate new years like a Korean, try making this soup!
