Can someone confirm that May 8 is Parents' Day in South Korea, please ? I found the wikiarticle, but the holiday isn't listed here. I wonder why. Thanks. -- PFHLai 09:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Should August 15 be Independence DayorLiberation Day ? Liberation Day makes more sense to me. -- PFHLai 18:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't『釋迦誕辰日』on this page really be "釋迦님誕辰日"? (Stefan2 23:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]
No, becuase『釋迦誕辰日』are not the Chinese characters for『부처(님) 오신날』rather, they are the characters for the Korean phrase, "석가 탄신일". dandan xD 22:05, 19 November 2006 (KST)
Does anyone else have a problem with translating 추석 as "Thanksgiving Day"? Aside from the fact that they are both harvest festivals in which people eat a lot of food, I don't see that many similarities... Unknown User
THE 2008 STATISTICS ABOUT THE PERCENTAGE OF RELIGIOUS ADHERENTS IN SOUTH KOREA MUST HAVE CREDIBLE CITATIONS, IT WILL CREATE MISUNDERSTANDING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.68.114 (talk) 02:18, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
When explaining Buddha's Birthday, it says 'According to 2008 statistics, 63% of South Koreans are Buddhists.' This sounds very unlikely. First of all, there is no citation. Secondly, Chritianity is likey to have more believers in the Republic of Korea. I would appreciate it if the person who wrote this part could cite his source or correct the false information in case it was not right.130.83.244.131 (talk) 20:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't there be one?--Ukas (talk) 04:09, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
International Workers' Day#Asia says Workers' Day/Labour day is a "paid holiday" in South Korea, but the source it links to is in Korean. I'm not sure where, if anywhere, it fits in this article but it would be good to add. (Alternatively some clarification in the other article. For example, does it simply add a day for annual leave entitlement?) This article could also use some work as I'm not sure whether "Public Days Off" are the same thing as public holidays.

May 1 was designated as Labor Day (근로자의 날, "Laborers' Day") on January 27, 2016 by Korean labor laws t require employers (not government services) to give paid holidays (or pay 50% more allowance) to the workers.

Shikmogil (식목일), or tree-planting/arbor day, is celebrated in the ROK. Until 2006, it was an official holiday, allowing a day off of work and school on April fifth (https://anydayguide.com/calendar/1664).Kdammers (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
