Like last year, this Lunar New Year, many families spent the holidays by minimizing face-to-face meetings due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19.
The turn, the trip, and the visit to the nursing hospital were all ‘non-face-to-face’.
Reporter Jun-yeop Lee reports.

They dress neatly and bow down to their ancestors.
Not the Hong Dong-Baek-Seo turn, but the Shin Yong-cheol family’s ‘Lan Line turn’ in front of a beam projector screen.
“I’ll start with three times. Happy New Year~ (Happy New Year!)”
The new year’s ceremony will be given by video, and the new year’s money will be sent through mobile ‘simple remittance’.
I also listen to compliments through the speaker.
[신언동 / 대전 용문동 : 올 한해에도 대전, 청주, 용인, 수원 우리 가족들 모두 건강하고 행복한 나날이 되기를 바란다.]
This is the method chosen by 16 families living in Daejeon, Suwon, Yongin, and Cheongju, etc. to take off their masks and face each other.
[신용철 / 경기 용인시 보라동 : 화상으로 모임 하는 걸 보고서, 그러면 우리도 차례 지낼 때 (화상으로) 같이 모이면 그래도 얼굴을 볼 수 있고… (명절에는) 시끌벅적하게 지내고 해야 하는데 사실 안타까움이 더 큽니다.]
“Let’s take a picture of us Mom. Mom also says ‘V’. Smile~”
The extended family takes turns entering the meeting room.
“I go for a walk with my mom only when the COVID-19 is over soon. I also exercise.”
A nursing hospital where you can meet inpatients ‘non-face-to-face’ only through a glass wall as a quarantine guideline.
Instead of having a meal together and the bustling holiday season, we take turns greeting each other.
[이광재 / 경기 성남시 백현동 : 아쉽지, 대면이 낫지. 비접촉으로 하니까 더 그런 거에요 이게. 부모님 손도 못 잡아보잖아. 그것도 하루에 한 번이 아니고 연휴 기간에 한 번. 이게 불편한 거지.]
“I will bow down. Happy New Year~”
A tripe from the virtual world ‘Metaverse’ also appeared.
Lee Chang-hyeon, who lives in Seoul, dressed up and met his girlfriend’s parents in Florida, USA, more than 12,000 km away.
[이창현 / 서울 신원동 : 좀 실제로 절을 하는 느낌도 들고, 서로 얼굴을 마주 보는 느낌도 들 것 같아서 이런 메타버스 공간에서 한 번 해보자.]
‘Quarantine New Year’, where we can’t gather due to social distancing and restrictions on the number of people.
It was already the second time, but the feeling of frustration and regret was still a holiday.
