Korean Public Holidays Calendar

Korean public and substitute holidays calendar with 'golden week' detection and ICS calendar export.

About this tool

Korean Public Holidays Calendar (holiday) maps statutory + substitute + temporary public holidays for 2020–2030 onto a monthly calendar and auto-extracts up to 8 "golden week" candidates by stacking 1–5 vacation days. One screen shows summary cards (total holidays, weekday holidays, substitutes, working days), a next-holiday D-Day, ICS export ready for Google / Apple Calendar, share URLs, and PNG result cards. The 2021 Public Holidays Act rule that shifts a Saturday/Sunday holiday to the next weekday is applied automatically.

Use cases

Scenario 1

Build a golden week with 3 vacation days

An office worker auto-extracts 7–10-day stretches achievable with just 3 vacation days, picks the longest, and ICS-imports it into the work calendar.

Scenario 2

Small-business open / closed days

A cafΓ© / restaurant owner confirms the next-quarter holidays + substitutes at a glance and posts the PNG result card on Instagram and at the storefront.

Scenario 3

HR working-day count

HR computes precise annual working-day counts (auto-subtracting weekends, holidays, and substitutes) for leave allotment and salary calculation.

Scenario 4

Travel booking D-Day

See the D-Day to the next holiday before flight prices spike and add a 6-week-ahead booking reminder to your calendar.

Frequently asked

Q. When does a substitute holiday apply?
A. Under the 2021 Public Holidays Act, any statutory holiday (except New Year, May 8 Buddha-day, and Memorial Day) that falls on Saturday/Sunday is shifted to the next weekday. The tool applies this rule automatically.
Q. How many Korean holidays are there in 2026?
A. In 2026, there are 19 statutory holidays (including 3 days each for Seollal and Chuseok). With ~2–3 substitute days, total non-working public holidays land around 21–22, Β±1–2 depending on the calendar.
Q. How are golden-week candidates computed?
A. A dynamic-programming sweep combines adjacent holidays / weekends with available vacation days to find the longest streaks. Fewer vacation days β†’ fewer candidates.
Q. Can I auto-add to Google Calendar?
A. Yes. Download the ICS file and import it via Google Calendar’s "Import" or simply double-click on Apple Calendar.
