KPop Idols' Chuseok Greetings (2021) & My Mooncake Memories

WHAT-IS: "Chuseok" (Korean: 추석; Hanja: 秋夕; [tɕʰu.sʌk̚]), literally "Autumn eve", also known as hangawi (Hangul: 한가위; [han.ɡa.ɥi]; from archaic Korean for "the great middle (of autumn)"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in both North and South Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar ... (Wiki). The equivilant here in Singapore (and parts of Asia) is the Mid-Autumn Festival - which has since evolved into a one-night "eat mooncakes" with family or friends , and stare at the moon in the night-sky, and wonder if we'll see Change'E chillin' on the lunar surface...

The following greets are from idols I currently listen to, and some I found interesting to share. If I am missing any, then they are late! LOL











I remembered fondly of carrying "lanterns" - from candle-lit incarnations (sometimes burning the paper folded lanterns), to the current crop of battery-operated blinking plastic things. Somehow the "tradition" is distilled in modernity, and is know much as "Mooncake Day" as it had been about the occasion LOL.



Watching South Korea's "3 Day Holiday" and folks dressed up in their traditional bestest, seems such a "fictional affair", especially featuring our "idols"!
