Happy Presidents Day!

All of us here at #kacla wish you a happy and healthy Lunar New Year, ("Seollal"). Seollal is one of the most celebrated days among Korean holidays. On this day, various traditional events like eating rice cake soup ("tteok-guk") and games like "Yutnori" are held to wish for a blessed new year. Also, 2021 is "Shin-chook-nyun ()" meaning the year of White Ox. Traditionally in Korea, white Ox symbolizes 'good luck' and 'guardian' believing them to have a divine energy that defeats negative energy. We hope this year will bring good luck, good health and great prosperity in 2021! ! #KAC #KACLA # #lunarnewyear #YearoftheOx # #2021
