Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., and it always reminds me of how much it feels like Chuseok, Korea’s major harvest holiday. Both traditions center on family gatherings, sharing food, and expressing gratitude. Even the atmosphere is similar—busy kitchens, traveling to see loved ones, and favorite comfort dishes that only taste right on this day.
But what we love most is the shared spirit of appreciating simple things: warmth, health, and the people who shape our daily lives. Whether it’s turkey or tteokguk, today is a perfect moment to slow down and be thankful.
