Holiday bonfire for good luck

Holiday bonfire for good luck

Visitors watch a "daljip," or a heap of straw or twigs, being set on fire along a stream in Seoul's Nowon Ward on March 2, 2026, a day ahead of "Jeongwol Daeboreum," a traditional Korean holiday that celebrates the first full moon of the year according to the lunar calendar. The burning of a daljip, meaning "moon house," is part of the holiday held to ward off misfortune and bring good luck in the coming new year. (Yonhap)
