- Chuseok, also called Hangawi or "great middle of autumn," falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. It resembles the autumn festival of some other Asian cultures and celebrates a bountiful harvest under the full moon. Traditionally, Chuseok involves various customs and rituals, including the making of songpyeon, which are rice cakes.
