Also known as "Korean Alphabet Day", today is a national holiday to celebrate the making of the Korean alphabet, or Hangeul (Hangul; 한글). Created by King Sejong in the 15th century, the Korean alphabet--because it was made and not formed over time--today is one of the easiest alphabets to learn (most of it, anyway).
Many of my students also get tomorrow, Friday, off from school (the students have a new term for it, "sandwich day") so they are happy, though most still have to go to their academies (unless their families are taking a trip over the 4-day weekend).
I have to teach tomorrow, but it is nice (and unusual) to have a Thursday off.
