The event will feature a variety of amazing displays of culture from fun games such as gulleongsoi; to ‘wish writing activities’ and “webtoons” (Korean web comics). There will be hundreds of tourists coming to take part in Seollol celebrations that finding a hotel or serviced residence in Seoul will be a difficult task.
