Making Korean rice cakes ahead of holiday

Workers lay out "garaetteok," a Korean rice cake stick, just churned out of a rice cake machine at a traditional market in the southeastern city of Busan on Feb. 9, 2026, ahead of the Lunar New Year, which falls on Feb. 17 this year. Garaetteok is a staple used to make a traditional soup of sliced rice cake eaten during the holiday. (Yonhap)
