Alright, thanks for that Hyeong-woo. See you in 2019 <br /> We're getting closer and closer to midnight, so let's go back to our Park Hee-jun standing by at the Bosingak Pavilion in downtown Seoul.<br />Happy almost-new year, Hee-jun-- tell us more.<br /><br /> We’re just minutes away from 2019.<br />Things have reached peak here at the Bosingak Pavilion.<br />Excuse me for yelling at you guys -- there’s just so many people here celebrating and the stage is getting ready for the bell-ringing ceremony at midnight.<br /><br /> You can probably feel things heating up as well as the people get ready for the countdown.<br />Now in a few moments' time at 11:59, 16 people, including the Seoul mayor, will be ringing that bell behind me.<br />And they'll strike the bell 33 times,... which will mark the beginning of 2019.<br />Even after midnight, various events are lined up, including the mayor's New Year's address and some performances.<br /> So stick around for a long night of fun and partying.<br />Only one thing kinda bums me out -- and that's that in Korea, the tradition is you get another year older after midnight.<br /><br /> But anyhow, may 2019 be the best year of our lives.<br />Happy new year Semin and Devin.<br />I'll see you guys next year. <br />
