Hey everyone,
As the autumn moon shines brightly, it signals the approach of Chuseok, one of Korea's most cherished holidays. Often compared to Thanksgiving, Chuseok is a beautiful time of year where families come together to share food, stories, and pay respect to their ancestors.
🌕 Chuseok Highlights:
- Known as the 'Korean Thanksgiving,' it celebrates the bountiful harvest season. 🍂🍴
- Traditionally, families gather, prepare delicious feasts, and hold ancestral rites known as 'Charye.'
- Songpyeon, a crescent-shaped rice cake filled with sweet fillings, is a must-have Chuseok delicacy!
For those of you celebrating, we hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones, savoring the moments and traditions. And for everyone else, let's take a moment to appreciate the cultural diversity of our team, making us richer in experience and understanding.
