This year's Chuseok was special as the traditional harvest festival overlapped with the National Foundation Day, Hangeul Day and the weekend, creating a seven-day break. Those who took one more day off on Friday enjoyed a full 10-day holiday.

Even without the extra day, it was the longest holiday since 2017.
