It's a new year and some Korean websites have celebrated with cute commemorative logo doodles. Here is a roundup of some that I noticed online. This year, 2024, is the year of the blue dragon (2024년 갑진년). I have never in my life seen 갑(甲) be used to mean "blue" but I'm certainly no Korean expert. Seems to literally mean "heavenly / from the sky" and therefore we get "blue".
Anyway you'll notice then that most of these incorporate imagery of a blue dragon.
I'll use the Zum one as the main post image because it's the coolest.

Anyway those are all I noticed this morning.
Additionally, here's a nice page full of infographics showing some new changes in laws and social programs for the new year, divided up into categories of interest (like old people, families with young kids, etc)

I'll probably do a post about some of the top trending keywords/searches from 2023, but later this week. Today I'm going to take a rest and and spend some time offline.
Happy new year folks.
