Chuseok is the Korean harvest festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month — the same date as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. Often called "Korean Thanksgiving," it is Korea's other major three-day holiday alongside Seollal.

History & origin

Chuseok dates back to the Silla Dynasty (57 BC-935 AD). It originally celebrated the autumn harvest and gave thanks to ancestors. The full moon of Chuseok night is traditionally the brightest of the year.

Traditions & customs

Charye — ancestor memorial rite. Beolcho — cleaning the family graves. Songpyeon — half-moon shaped rice cakes prepared by families on Chuseok eve. Hanbok worn for ceremonies. Folk games and traditional sports.

Traditional foods

Songpyeon — half-moon shaped rice cakes filled with sweet bean paste, sesame seeds, or chestnuts. Various jeon. Galbi (grilled ribs). Japchae (glass noodles). Persimmons, Asian pears, and chestnuts as seasonal fruits.

Greetings & salutations

"즐거운 한가위 보내세요" (Have a joyful Chuseok).

For travellers

3-day public holiday. Mass migration similar to Seollal. Trains sell out months ahead. Department stores hold Chuseok gift-set sales.
