Most famous holiday in Korea Seollal, is coming

Koreans celebrate two New Years ? January 1st and Seollal, which typically falls on the second new moon after Dongji, or the winter solstice. By combining the preceding and following days, each winter Koreans can look forward to a three-day holiday from January 22 to January 24, 2012.

In the days leading up to Seollal, families prepare by cleaning their homes. To refresh the mind and spirit, another popular tradition is to watch the sun rise. Hours before first light, people awaken and head towards a beach on the eastern coast, or scramble up a mountain.

And on the other hand, KOSHA plans to host a workshop for 2 days after Seollal where KOSHA's staff gathers together to arrange major business plans and review strategies for occupational accidents reduction.  The workshop starts on the 30^th January and ends on the 7^th February different by department.
