Usage & Context
School vacation (방학) in Korea includes summer vacation (여름 방학) in July-August and winter vacation (겨울 방학) in January-February. However, Korean students rarely fully rest during 방학, as most attend hagwons, take extra classes, or go on study programs abroad. For Korean parents, 방학 often means increased education spending rather than relaxation time.
Example Sentence
여름 방학에 여행을 갈 계획이에요.
I'm planning to travel during summer vacation.
