A regular Lunar New Year in South Korea involves family members gathering in one home — usually the elder member’s house though some families take turns hosting — and preparing a memorial ceremony meal together. Various kinds of mouthwatering Korean dishes are cooked, including several pan-fried delicacies called jeon, along with fruit and traditional sweets. The ceremony style differs from town to town and family to family — many homes have scaled down the ceremony to a dinner or family trip.
