🇰🇷 [News] Finally! The redesignation of Constitution Day as a public holiday, share the joy of the rule of law.

Constitution Day, back to our side!
On July 17, 1948, there is welcome news that ‘Constitution Day,’ which commemorates the enactment of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, will return as a public holiday. It has been a long time since it was excluded from public holidays with the introduction of the five-day work week in 2008. By being designated as a public holiday again, a valuable time has been created to reflect on the values of the Constitution.
Why did it become a public holiday again? (Issue summary)

National demand: There have been consistent calls to guarantee the people’s right to rest and to enhance the symbolism of national holidays.
To promote the spirit of the Constitution: To celebrate the importance of the Constitution, which is the foundation of a democratic republic, together with the entire nation and to use it as an educational opportunity.
We also expect the effects of boosting domestic consumption and expanding opportunities for cultural enjoyment through increased holidays.

What we need to do.
How about going beyond simply being a “day off” and reflecting on the true meaning of Constitution Day by raising the Korean flag at home? Celebrating the beginning of liberal democracy, plan a meaningful day with family and friends!

🇺🇸 What is Constitution Day? (Detailed Explanation)
Significance: It commemorates the promulgation of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea on July 17, 1948. This document established the fundamental principles of the nation as a democratic republic.
Historical Background: It marks the day when the first legal code, created by the Korean people themselves after liberation from Japanese colonial rule, was officially announced. The date, July 17, was intentionally chosen to coincide with the founding date of the Joseon Dynasty, symbolizing the historical continuity and the grand beginning of a new nation.
Five National Holidays: It is one of the five major national holidays in Korea, alongside Independence Movement Day (March 1st), Liberation Day (August 15th), National Foundation Day (October 3rd), and Hangeul Day (October 9th). It is a day to honor the rule of law and the spirit of democracy.
