Unlike South Korea's 10-day holiday this month, North Korea's calendar shows only one day off for a designated Chuseok holiday on Oct.4.
Chuseok, Thanksgiving, is one of Korea's biggest holidays to celebrate the annual harvest.
South Koreans have entered into a unusually long 10-day holiday for Chuseok, which falls on Wednesday, as the normally three-day holiday is preceded and followed by other national holidays and weekends this year.

North Koreans celebrate another national holiday on Oct.10, marking the foundation of the Workers' Party of Korea.
