Korean Chuseok

Google Korea Logo - Chuseok

Chuseok, originally known as Hangawee (한가위) (from archaic Korean for "great middle"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, notably the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival[1], it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food.

추석(秋夕)은 한가위, 중추, 중추절, 가배일로 부르기도 하며, 음력 8월 15일에 치르는 명절로서 설날 다음으로 한국인에게 전통적으로 깊은 뜻을 지니고 있는 한국의 전통적인 명절이다. 가을 추수를 끝내고 햅쌀과 햇과일로 조상들께 감사의 마음으로 차례를 지내며, 특히 송편은 추석에 먹는 별미로 들 수 있다. 추석에는 고향을 방문하는 전통이 있다. 이때문에 전국민의 75%가 고향을 방문하여 추석이 되면 전국의 고속도로가 정체되고 열차표가 매진되는데, 이러한 현상을 '민족대이동'이라 부르기도 한다.
대한민국에서는 추석 전날과 다음날까지 3일이 공휴일이다. 단, 일요일이 연휴와 겹치더라도 공휴일이 연장되지 않는다.

Korean Liberation Day

Korean Liberation Day 09

Liberation Day (Korean hangul: 광복절, hanja: 光復節, RR: Gwangbokjeol, MR: Kwangbokchŏl, lit "restoration of light") is a public holiday in South Korea, celebrated annually on August 15. It coincides with Victory over Japan Day, which liberated Korea from Japanese occupation. In North Korea, it is celebrated as Fatherland Liberation Day (Chosŏn'gŭl: 조국해방의 날, hanja: 祖國解放의날, MR: Chogukhaebang'ŭi nal, RR: Jogukhaebangui nal).

Korea did not gain actual independence on August 15, 1945, but was occupied by the Soviet and United States armies, which oversaw the decommissioning of Japanese troops in Korea. The northern half of the peninsula was occupied by the Red Army, and the southern half was occupied by the United States.
