National Foundation Day (Korea)
Gaecheonjeol (Korean: 개천절; Hanja: 開天節; lit. ''The day the heavens opened'') is a public holiday in South Korea on 3 October. Also known by the English name National Foundation Day, this holiday celebrates the legendary formation of the first Korean state of Gojoseon by legendary king Tan'gun in 2333 BC. This date has traditionally been regarded by Koreans as the date for the founding of the Korean nation. Gaecheonjeol is also recognized in North Korea, although not as a public holiday, with an annual ceremony at the Mausoleum of Tangun, the founder of Gojoseon.
