* be more than positive: 확실하다

Talk about the substitute holiday system.

Remember when I told you I hate it when a public holiday falls on a Sunday?

I’m more than positive that you are with me on this one.

It is indeed depressing, especially for Koreans, who work the longest hours in the world.

Don’t be too sad though, because there is this thing called a substitute holiday system.

It basically designates a day off during the week when a public holiday falls on a Sunday.

The business community is not particularly fond of the system.

They claim that it would increase labor costs and decrease their output.

However, advocates of the system argue that it would improve people’s quality of life and create socio-economic benefit.
