SS501 - Triple S Philippines Blog

Having said that, it's only now that I've learned about Chuseok, one of Korea's most largely celebrated holidays. If it wasn't for my love of SS501, I wouldn't be aware of this special Korean holiday. Chuseok is a Korean Thanksgiving Holiday, also known as "Harvest Moon Festival" and this year, it falls on October 3. It's supposed to be a special time for families and friends to gather together, share food, give thanks to their ancestors for a year's bountiful harvest, and basically just enjoy their time together. Traditionally, Chuseok is a 3-day celebration, and it starts today! Koreans celebrate this holiday in their hometowns by putting on the traditional Hanbok – and honor their ancestors with foods from the new harvest. The feast includes rice, songpyeon, along with kimchi nuts, fruit, and fish.


This sounds really interesting, and the more I read about it, the more I'm actually beginning to appreciate this Korean custom. I can't help but think how our SS501 boys are going to celebrate their 3-day holiday. I hope they'll have a time off to be with their families! I can just imagine them getting together with each other's families and eating a bountiful feast! Awww... I love big celebrations like this. Can you imagine the boys wearing Hanbok? Maybe this will help...

You know what, I can't explain it, but somehow I actually feel the spirit of festivity while I'm writing this. Hmm... weird. Anyway, the boys also starred in a show called Hanbok, and for those who want to check it out, iBreatheLifeMusic was kind enough to sub it in English and upload it in YouTube. Many thanks!
