Happy ์„ค๋‚  (Seul nal – Lunar New Year).

I once dated an Italian guy from New York who said, “Happy Chinese New Year.” I looked at him and said, “I’m not Chinese and many countries celebrate the lunar new year.” He seemed surprised. I wasn’t trying to chastise him either. I was just stating the facts.

Korea and China share the same 12-animal zodiac cycle layered with the five elements.

2026 is the year of the fire horse. In the zodiac cycle.
