Celebrating your birthday on the Lunar day sounds fun, catch people by surprise by celebrating every year on a different date

This is just the same as the Arabic (Hijri) calendar, , it's also based on the moon, and isn't really used for much things more than celebration days, not alot knows his birthday in this calendar but my family has knew and sometimes they were celebrating my Hijri birthday as well as my normal birthday 😂😂

I've always thought of 달력 as the word for a physical calendar that you hang on the wall. Maybe that's not right.

좋은 영상 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다!
한 가지 말씀드리고 싶은 것은 '구정' 이라는 단어는 일제 강점기 만들어진 말이기 때문에 구정 대신 '설날' 이라고 하는 것이 정확합니다.
Thanks for making a great video!
One thing I would like to say is that the word '구정' was made during the Japanese colonial period, so it is more accurate to say '설날' instead of '구정'.

한국의 젊은 세대들은 음력을 잘 쓰지 않습니다. 부모님세대들만이 음력을 중요하게 생각합니다. 젊은 세대들이 음력에 대해서 생각할때는 오직 설날(구정)이 언제인지가 중요합니다. 왜냐하면 회사를 가지 않기 때문입니다 ㅋㅋㅋ
