A 600-year-old Korean noble family holds a sacred ceremony once a year. The traditional ritual, which begins at 1 a.m., involves men of the "Ryu" family from all over the country gathering in traditional Korean attire (hanbok) to bow simultaneously to their ancestors. This sacred ceremony strengthens family bonds and emphasizes the importance of tradition to future generations.
