Hi everyone,

I know this has probably been asked before but when do things tend to be open during the Chuseok holiday weekend in Seoul? We were thinking of going up to Yongsan market on that Saturday is it likely to be open? What day is everything closed? Sunday?

The holiday this year is Sat., Sun., Mon. The middle day is the actual holiday when the ceremonies take place. Nothing will be open before noon. What is open the day before, the afternoon of and the day after is entirely up to the owners. Some things will be, some places won't be. It's likely things will be open on Saturday, but don't take that as a guarantee. You might try giving the place a call or check their website.

You haven't experienced Chuseok until you've eaten ammonia fish. I urge you to do that.
