How many Son-eomneun-nal are there in 2027?
68 days. Of these, 17 fall on weekends and 51 on weekdays. Son-eomneun-nal are days whose lunar date ends in 9 or 0 (the lunar 9th, 10th, 19th, 20th, 29th and 30th), so 5–7 come around each month.
The catch is that not all 68 days are usable. If you work a job, your real candidates shrink to the 17 weekend days. So it's quicker to look at them by purpose.
| What you plan to do | 2027 candidates | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Moving house | 17 weekend Son-eomneun-nal | The whole family has to move, and you need to book a ladder truck |
| Wedding | 9 peak-season weekend days | Guests need a weekend, and wedding venues fill up in spring and autumn |
| Business opening · contracts | 51 weekday Son-eomneun-nal | Government offices and banks need to be open, and first customers come on weekdays too |
Which weekends in 2027 are good for moving?
The 17 Son-eomneun-nal that fall on weekends. The note attached to each month is based on peak and off-seasons for moving.
| Month | Weekend Son-eomneun-nal | This month |
|---|---|---|
| January | 16 (Sat) · 17 (Sun) | Winter off-season — the lowest moving costs of the year |
| February | 6 (Sat) | Falls on the first day of the Seollal holidays |
| March | 7 (Sun) · 27 (Sat) | Start of the spring peak season — bookings fill up fast |
| April | 25 (Sun) | The middle of the spring peak — only one weekend day |
| May | 15 (Sat) | Peak season — May has just one weekend Son-eomneun-nal |
| June | 13 (Sun) | Before the monsoon — when moving demand drops off |
| July | 3 (Sat) | Summer off-season — room to negotiate |
| August | 1 (Sun) · 21 (Sat) | Vacation season — booking a ladder truck is actually easier |
| September | 19 (Sun) | The weekend right after Chuseok (9/15) — start of the autumn peak season |
| October | 9 (Sat) | Falls on Hangeul Day — the first day of a 3-day weekend |
| November | 6 (Sat) · 7 (Sun) · 27 (Sat) | The month with the most weekend days of the year |
| December | 26 (Sun) | Year's end — the tail end of the Christmas holidays |
November has the most with three, while February, April, May, June, July, September, October and December have just one each. To move in a month with only one weekend day, you need to book that date two or three months ahead. All dates by month, with days of the week, are in 2027 Son-eomneun-nal: the complete guide.
Are there Son-eomneun-nal that overlap with holidays?
There are four. They're days you can move while saving your annual leave, so they're worth checking first.
| Date | Day | Public holiday | Length of the break |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 6 | Sat | First day of the Seollal holidays | 2/6–2/9, 4 days (Seollal 2/7, substitute holiday 2/9) |
| May 5 | Wed | Children's Day | One day |
| October 9 | Sat | Hangeul Day | 10/9–10/11, 3 days (substitute holiday 10/11) |
| December 27 | Month | Substitute holiday for Christmas | 12/25–12/27, 3 days |
However, moving during the Seollal holidays isn't recommended. Moving companies are closed or charge surcharges, and government offices are shut, so your move-in registration gets delayed. October 9 and December 27 are far more realistic.
What are good wedding dates in 2027?
Weddings cluster on weekends in spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). There are nine weekend Son-eomneun-nal in these periods.
| Date | Day | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| March 7 | Sun | Start of the spring peak season — when competition for bookings begins |
| March 27 | Sat | Saturday daytime slots are the first to go |
| April 25 | Sun | April's only weekend Son-eomneun-nal |
| May 15 | Sat | May's only weekend Son-eomneun-nal |
| September 19 | Sun | Right after Chuseok (9/15) — guests' schedules may overlap |
| October 9 | Sat | First day of the Hangeul Day long weekend — easy for out-of-town guests |
| November 6 | Sat | The middle of the autumn peak season |
| November 7 | Sun | Right next to the day before, which makes coordinating both families' schedules easier |
| November 27 | Sat | The tail end of peak season — when there's room to negotiate with venues |
There are only five Saturdays: 3/27, 5/15, 10/9, 11/6 and 11/27. Saturday daytime slots fill first at wedding venues, so if you want one of these dates, it's best to check availability early. The order of steps and coordinating both families are covered in How to set a wedding date.
How do I set a business opening or contract date?
Choose from the 51 weekday Son-eomneun-nal. For a business opening, government offices and banks need to be open, and first customers come on weekdays too, so there's little reason to insist on a weekend.
For contracts, there's one more thing to check: the final-payment and registration dates need to be weekdays, so it's easier to line those up first and then layer Son-eomneun-nal on top. What to look at for each purpose is in How to choose a good day: the complete guide.
Son-eomneun-nal is a standard that looks only at the date. It doesn't look at who you are. So a Son-eomneun-nal can still be a day that clashes with your zodiac animal. Conversely, there are days that suit you even if they aren't Son-eomneun-nal. This is where date selection comes in.
What if I can't get Son-eomneun-nal?
You don't have to. Son-eomneun-nal are 68 days, close to a fifth of the year. It's not as if everyone who moved on the other 300 days got it wrong.
If there's a reason you can't choose the date, like a contract or the end of a jeonse lease, that comes first. Postponing a move by two months to hit Son-eomneun-nal means paying two more months of rent, and that cost is usually bigger. Alternatives are covered in When your moving date doesn't line up.

It depends on the purpose. Roughly this much lead time is a safe bet.
| What you plan to do | When to get started | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding (peak-season Saturday) | 10–12 months ahead | Saturday daytime slots are booked up a year ahead |
| Moving (peak-season weekend) | 2–3 months ahead | Ladder trucks and full-service movers get swamped |
| Moving (off-season) | 3–4 weeks ahead | January and July have more availability and lower costs |
| Business opening | 1–2 months ahead | Permits and interior work schedules are the variables |
The lead times here are rough industry rules of thumb. They vary by region and scale, so use them only as a reference.
