"Hope for no incidents or accidents"... One in four people wanted 'this' in the new year

A survey has shown that one in four citizens this year hopes for a "peaceful daily life."

According to the results of a survey conducted through the 'Neighborhood Life' bulletin board on the second-hand trading platform 'Danggeun,' which is based on local communities and was carried out from December 31 of last year to January 5 of this year, the top wish for the new year 2025, with 45.5%, was 'health.'

Office worker Mr. Jungmo (44) said, "As I get older, I realize that health is the most important thing," and added, "In the new year, I will improve my stamina through quitting smoking and exercising."

The second most chosen answer, with 24.2%, was "a peaceful everyday life." In particular, on December 29th of last year, just three days before the New Year, the "Jeju Air disaster" resulted in 179 deaths, leading many people to hope for a peaceful year this year. Respondents expressed hopes such as "to pass quietly without any trouble," "that no incidents or accidents happen," and "that 2025 will be a year without tragedies."

The third place was 'happiness,' and the fourth place was 'economic success and economic recovery,' with 23.5% and 18.9%, respectively. As many people experienced economic difficulties last year due to recession and high prices, there were many who hoped for economic revitalization. Respondents posted messages such as "I hope the economic situation improves" and "I wish the economy recovers."

Self-employed individual Mr. Song (38) said, "Last year, there were really many self-employed people closing their shops, and most of those who managed to survive had debts," and he expressed hope, "This year, everyone is doing well in their business, so I hope the talk naturally comes out that 'living has become better.'"

The person in charge at Danggeun said, "As we wrap up a tumultuous year, there were unusually many users hoping for a peaceful return to everyday life in the new year."

Health is in first place.
