Former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee spent the traditional Chuseok festival without receiving any of the traditional “special meals” that have long been a customary offering to inmates on national holidays, officials confirmed.
The mid-autumn festival of Chuseok is one of the nation’s most important holidays, and many South Koreans gather with family, visit ancestral graves, and share elaborate ritual meals. This year, Chuseok fell on 6 October, marking the start of a three-day national holiday that will run until 8 October.
