Woori Show debuts their live musical performance of their educational series for a special in-person celebration.
Welcome to Woori Show Live!
We kick off our first musical concert with some traditional Korean Folk Music. New York University’s NYURI is a musical performance group that preserves Korean culture here in New York City with samulnori (사물놀이), which is traditional Korean drumming. They will ring in Seollal with an exciting performance of Youngnam.
What is Seollal?
The host and creator of Woori Show Nari Kye is joined by Julia Riew, Natalie Choo, Claire Kwon and Odessa Deng to celebrate Seollal with you and your family! They will teach young learners all about Seollal and share some fun ways to celebrate this unique and special family holiday with hanbok, sebae, tteokguk, yutnori and more!
Seollal Is Korean New Year
What better way to start the new year than by dancing and singing the Woori Show smash hit: Seollal is Korean NewYear? This joyous, bilingual song composed by Joe Kye will teach children of all ages and backgrounds about this special Korean and Korean American holiday. Let’s celebrate the new year together while learning about Korean traditions and singing Korean words!

Seollal Blessings for Everyone
We will end our musical concert with lots and lots of New Year’s blessings. Everyone will learn how to 세배 / sebae and say “새해 복 많이 받으세요.” Sebae is an important big bow we do for our elders, blessing the receiver with good health and luck in the new year. Through our original Woori Show song, How To Sebae, we will teach everyone how to perform this custom and celebrate the new year!
