Public holiday questions

Do these holidays apply to every employee?

Seollal and Chuseok each include the named festival day and surrounding public holidays. Substitute holidays are listed on their own dates. Labour Day and Constitution Day are included under the updated 2026–2027 calendar, including their 2027 substitute days. Confirm your employer’s rest-day schedule.

Which major holidays are included?

Seollal, Chuseok, Independence Movement Day, Children’s Day, Buddha’s Birthday, Liberation Day, National Foundation Day, Hangul Day and Christmas are covered.

Does every trip need no annual leave?

No. The badge shows any extra weekdays needed as annual leave. The planner assumes Saturday–Sunday rest days. Confirm your workplace schedule before booking.

Which dates will the booking buttons use?

The first day is departure and check-in. The last day is return and check-out. Three travel days mean two hotel nights.

Will upcoming options update automatically?

The planner uses the current date in South Korea. It hides trips whose first day has passed and selects the closest upcoming option.

Can I change the origin and destination?

Yes. Flights use both cities; hotels use the destination. A same-city flight route is disabled while hotel search stays available.

Is a destination holiday also a day off at home?

No. Start with the holiday calendar where you work. Destination holidays can affect transport and opening hours, but do not establish your own leave entitlement.

What happens after 2027?

Once all listed trips have passed, the search buttons are disabled until a new reviewed calendar is added. Dates are not invented.
