No Holidays in July? That's a Thing of the Past: Constitution Day Brings a Three-Day Weekend

This piece of useful news is about Constitution Day becoming a public holiday.

It is this coming Friday. The saying that there are no holidays in July will now be a thing of the past.

As Constitution Day has been designated as a public holiday again after 18 years, this coming Friday, the 17th, will be a day off.

Constitution Day, which had been a public holiday since 1949, was removed from the list in 2008 with the introduction of the five-day workweek.

With the promulgation of the amendment to the Act on Holidays, which passed the National Assembly early this year, it has regained its status as a holiday.

Constitution Day is this Friday.

Now, a three-day weekend leading into the weekend is created.

In addition, the remaining public holidays for this year include the substitute holiday for National Liberation Day, the Chuseok holiday, the substitute holiday for National Foundation Day, Hangeul Day, and Christmas.
