It's that time of the year when you're surrounded by things that remind you Christmas and New year holidays are right around the corner.
One such indicator here in the nation is when a grand outdoor ice skating rink is opened at the Seoul Plaza, complete with meaningful design changes and upgrades.
We start our newscast by going straight to our Seo Bo-bin.
Bo-bin, what's it like there at this moment?
Hi Daniel, I'm still here at the Seoul Plaza Ice Skating Rink. The opening ceremony for the rink happened just few hours ago. The ice rink is now open to the public for free today and lots of people are out skating on the ice.
As the ice rink is larger this year, and has a range of activities like curling and VR for people to enjoy, the excitement is visible on the faces of people who had the chance to try out the rink on the opening day.
"It's really cool, I have never actually come to this area, so I've come to see the skating rink and I like that you can see The Plaza, it's literally in the middle of Seoul so it's exciting ... It's Christmas soon so this will make me feel like Christmas "
"There is quite a lot of people here... Also it's not too cold today so I think it will be perfect for skating "
On Christmas and New Year's Eve, there are special events that people can enjoy with their friends and family, such as an igloo experience and Christmas carol contest.
