복을 잘 받았습니다

Last two weeks, our teacher was back in Korea celebrating Seollal and her father 60th birthday. Yesterday, our Korean lesson resumed and she handed us each a gift which she bought from Insadong. The gift we received, as shown below, is called 복주머니 or "fortune bag". The characters printed on the bag is called "Hunmin Jeongeun" (훈민정음, 訓民正音) and from which the present-day Hangeul is derived from. 복주머니를 받을 때 복도 많이 받을 수 있다. 누가 복이 필요해요? 나 줄게요... 많으니까요^^
