Gwangju Seo-gu held the "Da(Bok) Da(Bok)" event to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday, promote harmony with multicultural families, and spread a warm culture of sharing in the community.

The event was organized by the Gwangju Seo-gu Family Center, and about 100 people from 40 households, including multicultural families and single-person households in the district, took part and enjoyed various holiday-themed experience programs.

Participants began with traditional games such as top-spinning, then experienced holiday culture through activities like making family wish kites and preparing traditional foods such as skewered meat, creating time for communication that bridged generations and cultures.

A sharing campaign was also held that day. Parents and children from multicultural families carefully prepared skewered meat and tteokguk (rice cake soup) and delivered them to senior citizens at nearby senior centers and merchants at Yangdong Traditional Market, sharing the warmth of the holiday and reflecting on the community values that connect generations and neighbors.

Families who took part in the event said, "We felt the spirit of the holiday by enjoying traditional games with our children," adding, "It was an even more meaningful time because we were able to practice sharing with our neighbors."

Yoon Hye-kyung, head of the Gwangju Seo-gu Family Center, said, "This Lunar New Year program was a time to nurture warmth and happiness through the process of families creating and sharing together," and added, "We will continue to expand family-friendly programs so that diverse families can coexist as members of the local community."
