Originally held in December, Korea's biggest Christmas Celebration, 「Gwanbokro Christmas Celebration」will be held 2 weeks earlier this year, starting November 16th. In fact, it has already begun! The streets are filled with holiday vibes and festivities!

I was lucky enough to be in Busan this Christmas! The beautiful Nampodong shopping streets were already decorated with sparkling lights and Christmas decorations, adding to the festive vibes. This year's Christmas Celebration must be as grand as those in the past years!
