This Chuseok is 6 days long!

Usually, Chuseok and Seollal holidays are 3 days each, but this time it's a whole 6 days! 추석이나 설날 연휴는 보통 3일인데 이번에는 6일이래요.
It includes Saturday, Sunday, and even Hangul Day and a substitute holiday. 토요일, 일요일 ,그리고 개천절과 대체공휴일까지 더해졌거든요.
Plus, next week after Chuseok, there's Hangul Day too, so there are many days off in the month of October. 그리고 추석 다음주에는 한글날도 있어 시월엔 쉬는 날이 많아요.

Days off are great, right? But have you ever wondered why we have these days off? 쉬는 날 좋지요! 하지만 우리가 왜 쉬는지 궁금하지 않나요?
We often look forward to our holidays, whether it's for traveling or simply catching up on sleep. 비록 우리가 휴일에 여행을 가고 밀린 잠을 자더라도,
However, it's important to know the significance of these days and why they are designated as holidays. There should be a meaningful reason behind the celebration! 우리나라는 왜 이날을 기념하며 휴일으로 만들었는지 그 이유는 알고 쉬자구요.

Let's explore all the Korean holidays this time. 휴일 조사하기, 휴일 숙제로 딱이죠?

개천절 is also known as National Foundation Day

We celebrate 개천절 on October 3rd each year

Koreans commemorate the legendary founding of the nation by the legendary 단군 Dangun, who is said to have founded the first Korean kingdom, 고조선 Gojoseon, more than 4,000 years ago according to Korean myth.

It's a day when many Koreans take pride in their history and national identity, so we raise the national flags. Raising the flag represents national unity, pride, and respect for the country's heritage and history.

It's amazing that our country was first established 4,000 years ago. I'll try to think of Dangun, who founded our country, whenever 개천절 comes around. I'm proud of Korea and our history.

Create images, videos, or graphics related to the holiday to make your talk more attractive!
