Unlike South Korea's 10-day holiday this month, North Korea's calendar shows only one day off for a designated Chuseok holiday on Oct.4.

Chuseok, Thanksgiving, is one of Korea's biggest holidays to celebrate the annual harvest.
South Koreans have entered into a unusually long 10-day holiday for Chuseok, which falls on Wednesday, as the normally three-day holiday is preceded and followed by other national holidays and weekends this year.
