This year's Chuseok holiday lasts three days from Thursday the 24th to Saturday the 26th, and even including Sunday the 27th, it only lasts four days. Compared to last year, when one day off on Friday was used for National Foundation Day, Hangul Day, weekends, and substitute holidays, allowing for up to 10 days off, this is relatively short. As a result, since the last day of the Chuseok holiday falls on a Saturday, there are voices arguing that Monday the 28th should be designated as a substitute holiday. However, under the current 'government office holidays ' According to the regulations, substitute holidays only occur when the Chuseok holiday falls on Sundays or other public holidays. This year, since the Chuseok holiday does not overlap with Sundays, substitute holidays do not apply on the 28th, and the only way for the government to take the 28th off is for the government to designate it as a temporary holiday through a Cabinet resolution. However, there is little justification to designate the 28th as a temporary holiday, and there have been ongoing concerns that designating a temporary holiday could boost domestic demand rather than boost domestic demand. There have been ongoing concerns that it could increase demand for overseas travel. In fact, last year's Lunar New Year was designated as a temporary holiday and a six-day holiday was created, with a monthly record 2,972,916 people traveling abroad. Online as well Opinions are divided, with netizens saying, "Four days is enough," "The holiday is short, so I think I'll spend it all on the way back to and from home," "Since I have National Foundation Day and Hangeul Day in early October, I just have to work," and "I really wish they could just take one more day off." So far, the government has not officially considered designating the 28th as a temporary holiday, and unless a separate policy is announced, people will have to go to work and school as usual on the 28th.
