The World On arirang

Korea is ready to celebrate its biggest harvest festival Chuseok. It is the time of the year when we all visit our relatives and families, hold ancestral rites and eat traditional foods. As we eat the holiday’s staple food songpyeon, we make our wish to the full moon. How is N. Korea celebrating the holiday? It turns out that the two Koreas share and differ in the ways they spend Chuseok. For this coming holiday, we invite young defectors from N. Korea, who will tell us how they celebrated Chuseok and the values and lifestyle of N. Korean millennials so-called ‘Jangmadang Generation.’
