Market Visit

Why are these children wearing traditional costumes when New Year’s Day is still a week away? These are students studying at the Myungshim School at Doin-chon, Cheonghak-dong, Jiri Mountain. As they visit a traditional market, Hadong-jang, in Hadong-eup, Hadong-gun, South Gyungsang Province with their tutor on January 22, the children enjoy their long-awaited excursion by searching for things to buy for the New Year’s holiday.
