Valentines Day in Korean Way



In celebrating of Valentines Day in Korea, it has three part: The first part is the Valentines Day, second is the White Day and the last one is the Black Day. Valentines Day is one of the most favorite holiday because of commercialization. The commercials use it, to advertise perfumes , candies and chick flakes but instead of the boys figuring out what they're buying for their girlfriends , it's the other way around.


They celebrating Valentine's Day on February 14th , it is time for Korean women to show how they feel. Korean women with their sparkly bows, ruffled dresses and four inch heels are the one's bringing chocolates to their boyfriends and crushes. In Korea, the girls had to brave making the first move, one that wouldn't be reciprocated in kind. Atleast , not until the next month.


March 14th is the day for celebrating White Day, it is boy's opportunity or duty to response to the gifts they received on Valentines day. There is some sense of obligation in the gift. In fact, the expectation is that the man return with a gift of greater value than he was given the month before.


In Korea, single people have got a holiday, too—Black Day, on April 14th. This is the day singles head to their local Chinese restaurant to eat a dish of black noodles (jajangmyeon)—noodles covered in black bean sauce.  This holiday could become quite a success internationally, as singles often use Valentine’s Day itself to gather, dressed in black, and drink and party.
