A statutory holiday falling on a Saturday or Sunday in Sanji doesn't simply get skipped — South Korea's gazette process typically moves the observed day off to the following Monday.
With a population of 8,866 and running on the Asia/Seoul time zone, Sanji follows South Korea's statutory holiday dates on local calendar days — no cross-timezone adjustment needed for a purely domestic holiday list.
