Lunar New Year holiday period
The 2024 Lunar New Year holiday period runs from February 9 to 12.
Generally, it is a 3-day holiday from the 9th to the 11th, but
Since the 11th is a Sunday, the 12th will be applied as a substitute holiday.
Occasionally, we are asked by government officials or some companies, “Don’t we have to work on public holidays?”
However, from January 1, 2022, for companies with 5 or more employees:
Holidays apply the same as public institutions.
Therefore, the 12th is considered a “paid holiday”.
“Paid holidays” literally means that you can enjoy holidays with pay.
This means you can get a day’s pay or enjoy a holiday without having to work.

The government includes alternative public holidays during the Lunar New Year holiday period.
We are continuously implementing the highway toll exemption system.
Likewise for the 2024 Lunar New Year holiday, from 00:00 a.m. on the 9th to 00:00 a.m. on the 13th.

In addition to highway tolls, there are various support benefits.
As a representative example, those using KTX/SRT can receive a 30% discount on fares based on the station return.

Reverse return means a vehicle traveling from south to north.

In addition, international flight operations increased by 10% compared to the end of last year.
In the case of vulnerable groups, electricity bills can be deferred and savings of up to 6,604 won are possible.
If the cost of preparing a Lunar New Year table is burdensome, you can get a discount using an Onnuri gift certificate.
In particular, from the 20th, the product purchase limit will be raised to 2 million won, which will help stabilize food prices to some extent.
Although not announced yet, an announcement on discounts on the city’s toll roads is expected to be made soon.
Last year, there was a case where Hwaseong City completely exempted the toll on the urban highway between Bisong and Maesong.
