[edit] Parents' Day ?
Can someone confirm that May 8 is Parents' Day in South Korea, please ? I found the wikiarticle, but the holiday isn't listed here. I wonder why. Thanks. -- PFHLai 09:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- It is ... however it is not a public holiday, which is probably why it isn't listed here. Here is a little piece from the Korea Times about Parents' Day (the article confusingly appears to state that P-Day is the 7th, which it is not). -- Visviva 09:37, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the confirmation. -- PFHLai 05:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] August 15: Liberation Day ?
Should August 15 be Independence Day or Liberation Day ? Liberation Day makes more sense to me. -- PFHLai 18:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- [1] states Independence Day for the DPRK. (Stefan2 23:53, 22 August 2006 (UTC))
- Yahoo! Korea's dictionary seems to favor Independence, although Liberation is also listed: http://kr.dic.yahoo.com/search/eng/search.html?p=%B1%A4%BA%B9%C0%FD&x=0&y=0&type=eng
[edit] 釋迦誕辰日
Shouldn't "釋迦誕辰日" on this page really be "釋迦님誕辰日"? (Stefan2 23:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC))
No, becuase "釋迦誕辰日" are not the Chinese characters for "부처(님) 오신날" rather, they are the characters for the Korean phrase, "석가 탄신일". dandan xD 22:05, 19 November 2006 (KST)
[edit] 추석 / Chusok
Does anyone else have a problem with translating 추석 as "Thanksgiving Day"? Aside from the fact that they are both harvest festivals in which people eat a lot of food, I don't see that many similarities... Unknown User
