Incheon Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine organized traditional game programs including stone-throwing games to promote physical activity for patients confined to their rooms. Medical staff also participated in the events, building closer relationships with patients.
At Busan Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine, medical staff wore traditional hanbok attire and hosted folk games including yut nori, elevating the festive atmosphere. Daejeon Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine and Cheongju Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine also held events featuring "lucky draw yut nori" with penalties and missions, as well as capsule prize drawings.
One patient who participated in the events said, "I was disappointed to spend the Lunar New Year holiday at the hospital, but thanks to the events prepared by the hospital, I was able to enjoy the festive atmosphere."
