RINGING THE BELL & THE FIREWORK "2018 Happy New Year!" (Bosingak, Lotte World Tower, Seoul)

신년축하 타종식, 불꽃놀이 (보신각, 롯데월드타워)
(LOTTETOWER)
And what we're seeing on the side of the screen,... is Korea's tallest building,... Lotte World Tower,... lightin up Seoul's skyline on New Year's Eve.
The firework display features some 15-thousand pyrotechnics for 555 seconds,... in accordance with the tower's height of 555 meters.
(BELLRINGING)
The tradition of rining the landmark Bosingak bell marks both the end of a year and,... simultaneously beginning of a new one.
And the year 2018 is also the year of the dog,... the eleventh animal of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs.
As our Kim Hye-sung had mentioned,... the 33 ringing of the bell,... signals the peoples' wish of prosperity and peace in the coming year.
The group of dignitaries picked to strike the old Bosingak bell includes one of the victims by the Japan's wartime sex slaves,... and the Pyeongchang duo Soohorang and Bandabi-- the tigher and bear mascots for the upcoming Winter Olympics in February.
