Seoul During Chuseok 2026: Is my itinerary workable?

Hi everyone! Please note that changing dates isn't an option for me so I'd love some feedback about my itinerary. 😅

Are there any days or areas you'd swap around? Any places you'd like to add?

Sept. 24 (Thu): Arrive at ICN at night, check in around Suyu, dinner.

Sept. 25 (Fri – Chuseok Day): Yeouido Hangang Park → Myeongdong for shopping then dinner at Mongvely → Naksan Park at night.

- Are these shops open in Myeongdong during Chuseok: Nyunyu, Mimiline, Daiso, Olive Young?

Sept. 26 (Sat): Bukchon Hanok Village (stroll and visit a cafe)→ Seosulla-gil → Hongdae
\- Passing on Gyeongbokgung, Ikseondong, Seochon since I just visited these places a week ago.

Sept. 27 (Sun): Full day in Seongsu (cafés, shopping, Seoul Forest). 

- Are most stores already open in Seongsu during this day?

Sept. 28 (Mon): Apgujeong Rodeo/Dosan → Garosu-gil → Itaewon.

- I've visited Garosu-gil already so feel free to suggest where else I could go on this day.

Sept. 29 (Tue): Yeonnam → Hannam → head to the airport at night.

- I've been to these areas and I'd love to visit them again.

I'm mostly interested in shopping, cafés, parks, and just wandering nice neighborhoods.

Also, for those who've been to Seoul during Chuseok, do you think Myeongdong is still the best bet on Sept. 25, and are there any areas on my itinerary that are likely to feel completely dead?

Thanks in advance!
