What makes the South Korea calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the South Korea signature lives in the other dates: 3·1절 (Independence Movement Day, 2 मार्च), found in no other country in the dataset; 지방 선거일 (Local Election Day, 3 जून), found in no other country in the dataset; 추석 (Chuseok, 24 सितंबर), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from 한글날 (9 अक्टूबर) to 크리스마스 (25 दिसंबर): 77 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 17 nationwide holidays and 3·1절 will fall on a सोमवार (1 मार्च).
