WHAT IS CHUSEOK?
Chuseok, originally known as hangawi (meaning “the great middle of autumn”) is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea. Occurring on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, Chuseok is a celebration of the good harvest, when Korean families visit ancestral hometowns, enjoy song, dance, and folk games, and share a feast of traditional food and rice wines.
