The Hangul spelling of the Korean harvest holiday Chuseok is 추석.
The word is written with two Korean syllable blocks: 추 (chu) and 석 (seok). In South Korean English, “Chuseok” is the standard romanization, while “Hangawi” is another traditional name for the festival.
The corresponding Hanja characters are 秋夕, literally meaning “autumn evening.” That meaning explains why the holiday is associated with the autumn harvest and the full moon. Hangul, rather than Hanja, is the everyday writing system used for the modern Korean name.
Chuseok is one of Korea’s major family holidays. Families commonly share seasonal foods, honor ancestors, and travel to meet relatives. The spelling 추석 identifies the holiday itself, not a particular dish, ceremony, or folk game.
