Basically, most Koreans don’t actually need deodorant. A mutation in the gene causes the body to produce dry earwax and stink-free armpits, while those who lack the mutation will find themselves needing to lather up on antiperspirant come the warmer months.

Firstly, Korea has two New Year celebrations. However, in late January or early February, Koreans celebrate the Lunar New Year, 구정 (gujeong), by having a large holiday known as 설날 (seollal). During seollal, people usually visit their hometown, eat 떡국 (tteokguk) with their families, and visit their ancestors’ graves.

Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Babbo Natale, Weihnachtsmann – the seasonal gift-giver goes by many names, and in South Korea it’s no different.

Along with the Lunar New Year’s Day, Chuseok, also known as hangawi, is one of the biggest and most important holidays in Korea, which is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.

“Please receive a lot of luck in the new year.” Like you say, “Happy New Year!” on New Year’s Day or New Year’s Eve to friends, to your family, you can use this phrase to anyone you meet on the New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. So 새해 복 많이 받으세요. (Saehae bok mani badeuseyo.)

Just like many Asian countries, bowing is a big part of greetings in Korea. It’s a way to show respect, say hi, thank you, and bye. It’s also used for jesa (제사), which is a traditional Korean ceremony that respects ancestors. Also, men will do this to their fiance’s parents when they ask for their hand in marriage.

While there are many expressions to use in Korean to say, “Happy New Year,” the most common is 새해 복 많이 받으세요 (sae hae bok manhi bah doo seh yo). When broken down, the expression literally means please receive lots of good luck in the coming year.
