DMZ on the lunar new year's day, Jan 25, 2020 : Yoon Yeo-Chil (L, 70) and his wife bow in the direction of North Korea during a memorial service for ancestors at Imjingak pavilion in Paju, north of Seoul, South Korea on the occasion of Seolnal, the Korean lunar new year day. Yoon was born in Yonchon, North Korea on June 16, 1950, nine days before the outbreak of 1950-53 Korean War. Yoon's parents carried him to come to the South during the war. His relatives live in the North. The Seolnal or Seol is a time for Korean families to remember and honour their dead ancestors and the Imjingak pavilion is the closest residents of the capitalist south can get to the border with the communist north.
