Public holidays in South Korea each belong to one or more of three categories:
- National Celebration Day (Hangul: 국경일, Hanja: 國慶日)
- National Flag Raising Day (Hangul: 국기게양일, Hanja: 國旗揭揚日)
- Public Day Off (Hangul: 공휴일, Hanja: 公休日)
Each category has a different legal basis. All National Celebration Days are also Flag Raising Days.

—Gail Hamilton (1833–1896)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
