Recently I realized that there’s a bunch of words in Korean that have been confusing me, and these words are all related to the same topic: days off. I’m collecting their definitions and Hanja here to make sure I nEVER GET THEM MIXED UP AGAIN. I hope some of you benefit from this.
This post covers the following words: 휴일, 휴진, 휴무, 휴가, 휴강, and 연휴.
