No official sky show — Seoul does not host a central public fireworks or sky show for Lunar New Year.
No official show · Asia/Seoul
Seollal (Korean Lunar New Year) is a quiet, traditional family and ancestral-rites holiday in Seoul, not a fireworks occasion — this is confirmed, not assumed. During Seollal, subways run empty, most businesses and restaurants close, and the day centers on ancestral memorial rites (charye), tteokguk, and family gatherings. Seoul's genuine large-scale fireworks/drone/light shows (Lotte Tower, DDP, Han River) are tied to the Gregorian New Year's Eve (Dec 31/Jan 1), a separate and much larger celebration — not to Seollal. No organized public fireworks display exists for Seollal itself. Treated honestly rather than forcing a fireworks classification.
