The year 2025, Eulsa (乙巳), has begun with boundless hope and a dynamic start. This year, represented by the Year of the Snake, is particularly special as it is the year of the Blue Snake, symbolizing vibrant life energy and new opportunities.

To mark the occasion, Korean-American children dressed in traditional hanbok are performing sebae (a New Year’s bow) to wish for blessings and good fortune for Korean-American families throughout the year. Pictured from left are students Ji-soo Park (9) and Ye-jin Lee (8) from Han Eol Keun Sarang Korean School.
