Chuseok

Chuseok (추석) is like a Korean Thanksgiving. It isn’t exactly the same as America’s but it’s very similar. The literal translation is “Autumn evening” and it’s a festival where many Koreans will return to their hometowns for a gathering with friends and family. The whole holiday itself lasts 2-3 days (with the day itself usually being in the middle) and always takes place sometime in September or October.

Boy 1: “Did you have a good Chuseok this year?”
Boy 2: “Yeah! I went back to Busan and saw many of my old friends!”
