Now we shift to the southeastern-most part of Korea,... the port of Busan,... which is the country's second-most populous city.<br /> We go to our Choi Si-young, coming on the air via smartphone. <br />Si-young how are the people readying themselves to ring in the brand new year?<br /><br /> Well Semin/Devin, right now,... with some music. <br />Behind me is an orchestra playing live in front of a large audience.<br /><br /> Shortly after the concert, at the zero hour, a group of 24 bell-ringers from all walks of life -- students, workers, you name it -- will strike the bell 33 times in a Buddhist tradition. <br /> People I've spoken to say that they came here to share the last moment with beloved ones.<br />Some say they came all the way from Seoul just to feel a different vibe here in Busan.<br /> From young to old, the place is now fully packed and ready to see the bell-ringing.<br /> At the end, people here are going to sing the "song of Busan," the city's anthem.<br /><br />That's all for now, but I will keep you updated with the latest. Back to you Semin/Devin. <br />
