1,001 Wishes:New Year’s greetings from aSouth Koreanpet shop owner [Video]

As 2024 draws to a close, CGTN has launched a global social media campaign: “1,001 Wishes for 2025 #Hello2025.” Participants are invited to share their wishes for 2025, and the campaign will be available in 81 languages.

The end of the year is usually a great time for the people of South Korea to gather for meals, travel, and visit friends and family, but this year, these traditions have been disrupted by political turmoil. Dongdong, the owner of a pet business, said that 2024 has been quite challenging for South Koreans. She hopes that in the future, society can be more caring and united, prioritizing the common good over individual success. Her personal New Year wish is to travel more with her dog.
