People circle around to watch a burning dalgip, or “moon house,” at the Korean Folk Village in Yongin, Gyeonggi, on Sunday to mark Jeongwol Daeboreum, a traditional holiday celebrating the first full moon after the Lunar New Year, which fell on Saturday.
Jeongwol Daeboreum is a traditional Korean holiday celebrating the first full moon after the Lunar New Year.
On the holiday, people gather to watch the burning dalgip to ward off bad luck and wish for a peaceful year.
Other rituals include eating ogokbap, or rice cooked with five grains, and cracking nuts to pray for welfare and abundance as well as preventing bad luck.
