It's one of the many independence days this country has.

The creatively-named "three one day."

Get the day off.

I remember a few years ago a Japanese hardcore band came for a February 28 show or something. 3-1 fell on a Saturday, so they were invited to play a show then. There were these tiny Japanese guys in front of an audience of Koreans that absolutely dwarfed them, watching them play. The Japanese guys knew what day it was and you could see they were scared. But the Koreans all enjoyed their music so there were no problems.
