For Koreans, it is hard to imagine a New Year's celebration without the bell ceremony held at Bosingak. Broadcast nationwide by TV and radio, Koreans greet the New Year with 33 loud rings of the bell. Many people from all over Seoul gather here to say goodbye to the past year, and ring in the New Year. On other days of the year, the bell is available for viewing, although it remains silent.
