Happy Chuseok weekend to all! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Korean culture, Chuseok is the fall holiday that has been likened to an American Thanksgiving.Chuseok (추석 - Full Moon Harvest) is a Korean festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month in lunar calendar (Sept 14 in 2008).

The actual day falls on Sunday, but the holiday weekend kicks off today, which means lots of traditional Korean foods and desserts (like the customary rice-cake songpyun), special holiday television programming (movies, family-friendly fare), and yes, lots and lots of hanboks. Particularly, stars dressing up to wish people a happy holiday.
