Hello everyone! I’m from the united states, and I have a friend who moved here almost 10 years ago from Korea. Since then he hasn’t been able to go back to Korea to see family for 설날 and his family hasn’t been able to visit him here for a few years. Since he isn’t with family here and the united states isn’t very active in korean culture, he hasn’t celebrated 설날 at all. I want to do something to help him celebrate but I’m not sure where to start. I’ve read that 떡국 is a common dish that people eat during the holiday, but I’d appreciate any other advice 🙂 Thank you!! I know he misses home a lot so I want to give him a piece of that here even if it won’t be the same Edit: for context he moved here for high school and stayed for college and it’s so expensive to visit which is the reason he hasn’t been able to. He’s still extremely close with his family, his going back home has nothing to do with familial matters! Just immigration laws in America and money!
