Chuseok (추석), also known as hangawi (한가위), is a three-day holiday and is one of the biggest holidays in South Korea. It’s a time when families gather together to give thanks to their ancestors for an abundant autumn harvest. Usually, this means traveling to the home of the head of the family, often one’s grandparents.
To greet someone during Chuseok, you may say 추석 잘 보내세요 (chuseok jal bonaesaeyo). This means “Have a good Chuseok.” This is like saying “Happy Thanksgiving” in English.
