Korean Holidays & Long Weekends
See all Korean public holidays for the year at a glance. Solar, lunar, and substitute holidays computed automatically; long weekends (3+ days) are tagged.
How to Use
Defaults to the current year. Use the arrows to view previous or next years (1920–2099).
Each entry shows date, weekday, name, type (solar / lunar / substitute), and D-day. Past holidays are dimmed; upcoming ones are highlighted.
Runs of 3+ consecutive non-working days (holidays + weekends) get an "X-day long weekend" badge — perfect for trip planning.
FAQ
How are lunar holidays computed?
The tool embeds the Hong Kong Observatory lunar table (1900–2099) and computes lunar→solar dates locally. Lunar New Year (lunar 1/1), Buddha's Birthday (lunar 4/8), and Chuseok (lunar 8/15) shift every year accordingly.
What are the substitute-holiday rules?
Per the 2021 Korean substitute-holiday law: ① Seollal, Chuseok, and Children's Day get a substitute when they fall on Saturday or Sunday. ② March 1st, Liberation Day, National Foundation, Hangeul Day, Buddha's Birthday, and Christmas get a substitute when they fall on Sunday.
Why isn't Labor Day (May 1) listed?
Labor Day applies only to workers under the Labor Standards Act — it's not a 공휴일 (national holiday). Banks and public servants typically work; private companies follow their own policy.
Could the dates differ from official announcements?
Lunar conversion matches KASI's (Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute) calendar closely. Ad-hoc holidays (elections, state events) are designated by the government on a case-by-case basis and aren't auto-included here.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. All lunar conversion and holiday computation runs in your browser using embedded data.
