The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister CHAE Hwi-young, MCST) announced that the proposed amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Culture was approved at a Cabinet meeting on March 3 (Tuesday). The amendment expands Culture Day from the current last Wednesday of every month to every Wednesday. Following a preparatory period after promulgation, the revised system will officially take effect on April 1, 2026. This revision marks a significant policy shift that goes beyond simply increasing the frequency of the program. It transforms cultural enjoyment opportunities from a designated “event day” into part of the public’s “life rhythm.”
