Hello 👋
One of the most meaningful holidays in Korea is Chuseok (추석), often referred to as Korean Thanksgiving 🌕🍂
It is a time when families gather, share traditional meals, and express gratitude for the year.

🇰🇷 Korean Culture Insight
During Chuseok, many Koreans travel long distances to return to their hometowns.
Families come together to prepare traditional food, visit ancestors’ graves, and perform a memorial ritual called 차례 (charye).
Beyond tradition, Chuseok is deeply centered on family connection, respect, and gratitude 🤍
Even in modern Korea, this holiday remains one of the most important cultural moments of the year.
