Korean ThanksGiving comes two whole months before American counterpart and is traditionally the most revered holiday season along with Chinese Lunar NEW Years . there is the actual ThanksGiving Day and a day before AND after becomes Official government holidays – giving citizens time to return home to pay respects to their parents . and from 2014 a new calendar system was deployed : making the following day of a holiday also a holiday IF the original falls upon a Weekend . thus following this system : because the three ThanksGiving Holiday in 2018 begins with a Sunday September 23, the following 26 Wednesday becomes a holiday also .
while the above is the Official government calendar mostly for banks, post offices and conglomerates, and is safe to predict most business will close during September 22 Saturday until 26 Wednesday, markets and restaurants may differ as they prefer to make money serving shoppers, while specific shopping districts like YongSan Electronics Market tend to close-or-open depending on how their whole building is set to serve the market . so checking the map and dedicated buildings on YongSan Electronics Market Page at Top-Menu you can deduct when each may be closed . and although most buildings give advanced notice, individual stores whose building entrance is loosely controlled may open at will to fetch-in customers .
currently “JeonJa Land” for Electronics Land, Seon-in SangGa (Market), NaJin SangGa (Market) each in their own building is the biggies in the whole district . the former is your consumer department store with larger store-chains, middle is retail-and-wholesale smaller storefronts and the latter mostly wholesale offices and storage servicing the rest of this district .
- JeonJa Land open throughout the holidays
– Weekdays 10am ~ 7:30pm and Weekends until 8pm - Seon-in SangGa : most stores will close ONLY September 23 Sunday and be open 24 Monday throughout 26 Wednesday from 10am to 7pm.
- NaJin SangGa closed September 23 Sunday ~ 26 Wednesday
but note : if you order On-Line from any of these stores and any stores for that matter, ship-out will be well after the whole duration of the holidays as no delivery person nor union will work during this time .
