[Anchor]
The first sun of the year 2025 will soon rise.

Various events have been canceled due to the national mourning period of the airliner disaster, which has saddened the whole nation, but the first year of the new year can be enjoyed all over the country.

Let's go directly to Seoul Sky Park, where the sun rises.

I'm looking down from Haneul Park in Seoul. I think the sun has risen. The sky is clear, so the surrounding sky is already bright. Since the weather is clear today, the sunrise can be clearly seen from all over the country. It's 7:47 p.m. when the first sun of the year rises in Seoul. We have about 4 minutes left. Even before the sun rises, the surrounding sky is already bright.

Earlier, I checked the clear sun in Pohang. In about four minutes, we will be able to see the first year in Seoul. There are not many clouds and it is expected that you can see the clear sun. Since it is the national mourning period for the plane disaster until the 4th, the sunrise events have been canceled all over the country and the New Year has been calmly celebrating, and as we showed just a moment ago, many citizens gathered at Sky Park to appreciate the first year of the new year. And you can also see Namsan Tower from Haneul Park. It's still before sunrise, but the sky is shining brightly because the surroundings have already become bright. Shall we take a look at Namsan this time? We will also deliver the first sunrise of the year that we saw at Namsan Mountain. As expected, the sky is bright even before the sun rises. The first sunrise in Seoul this year is 7:47.

The year 2025 is called the Year of the Blue Snake. It is also called the Year of the Government House by combining the blue Eul and the Buddhist temple, which means snake.
Of the 60 journals that come back once every 60 years, Eulsa is historically a year 120 years ago when there was a Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 or Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 in 1905. It also symbolizes the flexibility of snakes overcoming difficulties. It also means a change for a new start. Although you have experienced a lot of difficulties, I hope our people will gather strength and wisdom to overcome the difficulties and create an opportunity for recovery. Today, the first sun in Seoul rises at 7:47. We have about two minutes left.

Let's enjoy the view of Seoul from Namsan for a while. Let's go back to Haneul Park. This is the view of downtown Seoul from Haneul Park. This is the view of Seoul Sky Park at this time. In a minute, the first year will come to Seoul today. You are watching the first sunrise in Seoul in 2025 with YTN. It's still before the sun rises, but the sky is already bright, so you can see downtown Seoul well. If you look at the top of that ridge, you can see that the sky is pink with some brightness. This year's sunrise event has been canceled, but many citizens are gathered at Haneul Park in Seoul.

As the period of national mourning continues, this year's sunrise is being held in a solemn and orderly atmosphere. Earlier, there were some places where the sunrise event itself was canceled and some celebratory performances were canceled. Now, many citizens are out to see the sunrise in many parts of Seoul. It's almost sunrise time. Can I see more of the citizens?

We just showed the faces of the citizens, and it was to enjoy the first year with some excitement and expectation. Although it is cold, many citizens gathered at Haneul Park in Seoul to dress warmly and appreciate the first year of 2025. As you can see, we're seeing a red sun rising in the distance. The sky is getting brighter little by little. You are watching the first sunrise in Seoul in 2025 with YTN. I hope you have a time to greet each other warmly with your family, friends, and precious people. I hope you have a warm day that starts with hope and expectation on the first day of this year.

This time, I will try to reconnect Namsan. As you saw earlier at Haneul Park, many citizens are gathered in Namsan Mountain. Many citizens are out from an early age to enjoy the first sun of 2025. The year 2024 has passed, and the year 2025, the year of the blue snake, Eulsa, has come. We wanted to show you the red sun rising vigorously today, but you can't see the sun well in Seoul yet.

I hope you start off strong on the first day of 2025. Happy New Year.
