Description
As you can see the light the crowd the jubilant atmosphere is definitely there -- all welcoming in the New Year of Golden Pig, according to lunar calendar.
And that bell will be rung 33 times tonight,… a tradition with the bell-ringing ceremony there.
As to why that's 33 times,… the reason dates all the way back to Joseon Dynasty as Bosingak Belfry was used to ring that many times at 4 AM,… signaling the start of the day and opening city gates.
The bell itself dates to the 15th century... and it's been in that spot since the early 17th century.
That countless crowd we see through that live video,...
The Seoul Metropolitan government says that it expects some 100-thousand people at the Bosingak Pavilion tonight alone.
