Constitution Day (South Korea)

Constitution Day in South Korea, also known as Jeheonjeol, is celebrated annually on July 17th to honor the creation of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. This day holds great significance in Korean culture as it signifies the establishment of democracy and the rule of law in the country. A commemorative ceremony is typically held, attended by dignitaries including the President, Chairman of the National Assembly, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the original members of the constitutional assembly. While it is no longer a mandatory non-working public holiday, it remains a national holiday for commemoration. It serves as a day for reflection on the importance of democracy and the Constitution in Korean society.
