Want the real Korean New Year vibe? 🇰🇷
Let’s unlock Korea — in Korean.

Today, we unlocked “Sebae” (세배) 🙇‍♂️✨

It’s not just a bow.
It’s the first greeting of the year.

You bow low — to show high respect.

On Seollal, you kneel, bow deeply, and say:

“새해 복 많이 받으세요.” 🎊

Then comes the best part 💸
세뱃돈 (New Year’s money).

In many countries, you give gifts. 🎁
In Korea?
You bow… and receive cash.

But here’s the twist 👀
Before taking it, you say:

“아이, 괜찮아요.”
(You don’t really mean it.)

Because in Korea,
even accepting money starts with modesty.

One bow.
No long explanation.

That’s Korean respect. 🇰🇷
