I forget/can't find the link from englishtour2korea or linkinkorea. They usually have one every year that tells us what is open and not on which days. IE yongsan, markets, etc. . .

The little mom and pop shops are hit and miss on the 25th but most will be open the rest of the time.

The major markets and department stores WILL be open on the 24th and 26th but NOT on the 25th. Home Plus, E-mart and Lotte have signs on the doors now indicating their CLOSED hours.

Most restaurants WILL be open on the 25th.
Buses and public transportation are all running over the holiday.

Why would any shops not be open on the 23rd (unless they usually close on Sundays)? It's not a holiday.

90% of the places in I'Park, 80% of the places in the old terminal and 70% of the shops at Son-in plaza will be open for their usual Sunday hours. The rest usually close on Sundays.

The outside vendors will all be there as usual.
