people all across the country are ready to celebrate the coming of a new year
our reporters are braving the sub-zero temperatures to show us how Koreans are
partaking in the celebrations first let's turn to our Parque June at the
iconic pushing out pavilion Heejun how are things looking over there right now
hey Daniel it's that time of the year again here at the pushing a pavilion
which is one of the most famous and most popular places to be at New Year's Eve
now we're expecting around 10,000 people to arrive here tonight so as we drop
closer to midnight things are going to get even crazier you're probably going
to hear the noise right now things heating up behind me now we are actually
have around a couple of hours left until the actual bell-ringing ceremony but the
crowds milling around are clearly excited and ready to celebrate there is
no way to really escape the freezing cold even if you wear lots of layers and
use heat packs but that's not stopping families couples and friends from coming
out on the streets and having a blast in the final moments of 2018 now let me
share with you the excitement here at pushing doc take a listen this is my
first time experiencing this event so I'm just really excited to be here and
I'm just excited to see all the stuff that's going to go on I came from Pusan
I've only seen this event on TV and it's my first time to come in person I can
really feel the yeren atmosphere and I'm so excited I'll be watching the bell
ring tonight and I hope everything goes well next year honestly I'm still
getting used to saying 2018 I can definitely see the yeren vibe over there
anything particularly special about the opposition GOG event this year
well the event itself isn't exactly something new and we've been covering
this every year but what I can tell you for sure is that things are going to be
even more exciting and even more livelier than ever before now let me run
you through some of the key vines for tonight's you're probably going to see
the timetable for the ceremony right now but what's going to happen is the line
of itself is an especially new but there is something a bit extra this year next
year marks the 100th anniversary of emerged first independence movements and
establishment of the country's provisional government's so we do have
special events prepared for bats but of course the highlight is the actual bell
ringing ceremony sixteen people including a Seoul mayor will be ringing
the bell and this year's eleven notable citizens include Eagleton a surgeon best
known for saving a North Korean soldier who was shot while defecting to the
south and speedskater is hawa who's a world record holder and won two gold
medals for South Korea at the Winter Olympics they're going to strike the
bell 33 times which is a Buddhist tradition that we use here in the South
so I'm going to be bringing you live updates on that but for now
happy new Daniel
