*** NOTICE *** Our school will not be open tomorrow (3rd October 2013) as it is National Foundation Day (Gaecheonjeol - 개천절). There is no KLC class tomorrow as well. The day celebrates the foundation of Gojoseon, the first kingdom of the Korean nation. According to the Samguk Yusa, Dangun founded Gojoseon on the 3rd day of 10th lunar month, 2333 BC. Today, South Koreans celebrate their national foundation on October 3 according to the solar calendar, for reasons of convenience. "Gaecheonjeol" means "Heaven-opened Day".
