Korean Valentine’s Day

Filed as: Korea and Culture // Responses: One

It’s Valentine’s Day in Korea! Just when we thought we knew a holiday inside and out, we discovered we were wrong.

February 14th in Korea is also known as Valentine’s Day but it is specifically for a girl to give her guy chocolate or candy. It is supposed to be handmade chocolate but most people just buy something from the many, many places offering beautifully wrapped boxes. Even the local bakeries add boxed chocolates to their normal cake and pastry repertoire! So guys, you can just sit back and relax…for now…

March 14th is White Day in Korea, and that means if your girl gave you chocolate or candy, you too have to get some for her, but you also must get her a gift. Sorry guys, guess you have more work than the ladies. Oh! You should probably check out our our Korean Couple Shirts video, because, well, Couple Shirts are so awesome!

Japan does that, too! :D Oddly enough, I wish it was like that over here in the states.
How do you say Happy Valentine’s Day in Korean, anyways?
