Religious leaders in South Korea delivered New Year messages for 2026, the “Year of the Red Horse” (병오년), calling for harmony, healing and restraint amid rising division. Buddhist, Christian, Catholic and native faith leaders emphasized overcoming conflict through compassion, wisdom and inner discipline. They urged people to steady their minds—likening the year’s restless energy to a running horse that needs a tight rein (고삐)—and to prioritize reconciliation, community service and moral renewal so society can move forward together.
