(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ji-Heon Kim = The bell-belling event, which marks the end of 2020 and the beginning of the New Year in 2021, took place in an online video, not at the Bosingak site in Seoul.
Instead of holding the event on the 1st, taking into account the situation of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the city of Seoul, which has been hosting the event, exported pre-made video to city YouTube, TBS traffic broadcasting, and terrestrial broadcasting at the beginning of the new year.
The video prepared by the Seoul Metropolitan Government started by showing the moments of suffering and glory that Korea suffered.
Following the black and white video seen during the Korean War, news scenes from the time when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) emergency funding request and the gold-raising campaign took place, appeared, and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, 2002 World Cup, Kim Yu-na, and BTS appeared.
The crowds gathered on the roads around Bosingak in the following past Bosingak battering events showed well before Corona 19, where many people used to gather without hesitation.
A year ago when the popular character Pengsu appeared, the battering event scene ended, and the number counting began, indicating that 2020, which was marked by Corona 19, has 10 seconds left, and the first bell rang at the start of 2021.

In the background of the slow sound of 33 bells, the video featured interviews with local residents, including restaurant owners, self-employed people in traditional markets, teachers and students, job seekers, and performers.
When asked what they would like to do after the end of Corona 19, they said, “I want to take off my mask and go out”, “I want to ride an airplane”, “I hope the business goes well”, “I want to see my friends”, “I wish all the people were healthy. “I had hopes like that.
Actors Lee Jung-jae, Kim Young-cheol, Park Jin-hee, and broadcasters Kim Tae-gyun, Kwang-hee, and Sam Hammington also appeared and sent messages of support with hope.
Seoul Mayor Seo Jeong-hyup and Seoul City Council Chairman Kim In-ho expressed their pledge to reach 2021, leaving behind the difficult 2020 year.
The video ended with the message “We keep social distance, but our hearts are close,” showing the people who made and donated the masks themselves during the mask uprising in the early days of the Corona 19 crisis.
The bell-belling event on the Bosingak Festival began at the end of 1953, the year of the ceasefire of the Korean War. Since then, it was held as an annual event without interruption, but was blocked by Corona 19.
The city cooperated with SK Telecom to set up a virtual reality (VR) experience center on the top banner on the website where you can experience the view of Bosingak and the sound of the bell, so that you can enjoy the Bosingak site at home.
