South Korea 2026: calendar analysis

21 stored entries
15 Monday to Friday
Saturday or Sunday
0 regional entries
Each of the 21 stored holiday entries falls on a different date.
Nationwide dates: 21. Of these, 15 fall from Monday through Friday and 6 fall on a weekend. A weekday date still needs to be checked against the employment rules that apply to the individual case.
No regional holiday entry is stored for this country-year; all displayed dates are marked as nationwide.
February, May and September have the highest count with 3 displayed entries. This describes the stored calendar distribution, not an automatic entitlement to time off.
Understanding annual planning
Using the South Korea calendar 2026
The overview contains 21 calendar entries for 2026. Dates with different scopes can appear separately even when they fall on the same day.
The absence of a regional entry does not establish complete coverage of local exceptions.
What matters in South Korea
The overview shows available holiday dates with their listed scope. A national baseline does not prove complete coverage of municipal, regional or institutional exceptions. For binding plans, use the actual location and check its official calendar.
Plan work and leave with the calendar
Check the holiday scope and employment effect first. Then select your workplace in the calculator and use your actual working pattern. An observance, a partial-day holiday or a public-service date is not automatically a full day off.
Possible starting points for bridge days include 신정연휴, 설날, 어린이날 and 추석 전날. Check their scope and the days off before or after them.
Daylight at the right location
The solar calendar applies to the named reference location and its time zone. Use the place calculator for another city; a country name alone does not determine sunrise times.
Future years and changes
Recurring rules can produce future dates, but cannot anticipate new laws, elections or one-off days off. Recheck distant dates before making a binding plan.
