The government has officially confirmed that October 10, 2025 will not be designated as a temporary public holiday. Even if only one day, October 10th, is designated as a temporary holiday, if you add the weekend, it becomes a 10-day 'golden holiday'. Expectations for a ‘golden holiday of up to 10 days’ were high due to the Chuseok holiday, National Foundation Day, and Hangeul Day, but this did not happen for policy and economic reasons.
Examples of Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore
📅 Summary of whether October 10, 2025 will be designated as a temporary holiday Hello, this is Polypick. This is a calendar that shows the holiday schedule for October at a glance. As the Chuseok holiday continues for 7 days, the discussion on temporary public holidays has been canceled, and the dissatisfied voices of self-employed people have finally met the expectations of the people who were excited by the saying, “A 10-day golden holiday is possible.”
Ahead of the Chuseok golden holiday, public interest is growing on whether October 10th will be designated as a temporary public holiday.
Attention is once again focused on whether October 10th will be designated as a temporary public holiday. In celebration of the Chuseok golden holiday, many people are curious about whether October 10th will be designated as a temporary holiday. Accordingly, a seven-day holiday, including weekends, will be provided from National Foundation Day on the 3rd (Friday) to Hangul Day on the 9th (Thursday). In particular, as Chuseok, National Foundation Day, and Hangul Day followed one after another, the question of whether “October 10th should be designated as a temporary public holiday” became the biggest topic.
This year, October 3rd is National Foundation Day, Saturday the 4th, Chuseok holidays from the 5th to 8th, and Hangul Day on the 9th. If October 10th is confirmed as a temporary public holiday, you can enjoy a long holiday without additional annual leave from Foundation Day (Friday, October 3rd) to the 12th (Sunday). According to the government on the 16th, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance has not considered designating October 10 as a temporary public holiday. Unlike in the past, the economic effect of temporary holidays is not as clear.
Meanwhile, there was a lot of interest in designating October 10 as a temporary public holiday, but the ruling party and the opposition party also revealed that they had no plans to officially request designation as a temporary public holiday, so the momentum for discussion on the designation disappeared.
If the 10th (Friday) is designated as a substitute holiday, it will continue until the weekend and the holiday will be three days.
