"9월" is the Korean word for "September," the ninth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar. It typically has 30 days and marks the transition from summer to autumn in many regions. In South Korea, September is often associated with the harvest season, particularly for crops like rice. In South Korea, the holiday of Chuseok is celebrated in September or early October. This important festival is a time for families to come together, pay respects to ancestors, and enjoy traditional foods such as songpyeon, a type of rice cake. The month is also known for its cooler weather and beautiful fall foliage.
