I think some dept. stores will be closed, but many bars will be open.

Do businesses ever close in Korea!!! I know a business that has not closed for a day in the last 20 years and I am sure that it is not unique in Korea.

The core day of chuseok and lunar new year the place is shut down like a drum. Thank god for starbucks and lotteria. It's a bit like America. Other than Christmas and one of the Thanksgiving days, it's pretty much open season on retail.

Most places in Gwangju were open on chuseok. That is where I spent my Chuseok vacation.
