South Korea

There are 15 registered holidays for the South Korea provider in 2025.

The below listed holidays (and the aforementioned number of holidays) merely reflect which holidays are registered with the South Korea provider in Yasumi. These do not indicate whether a particular holiday is considered a non-working day or not.

Although Yasumi has the ability to classify holidays (e.g. 'Official', 'Regional', etc.), this isn't optimal feature and we are working on a different classification system.
