Korean 14th day holidays!

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, a day that isn’t for me and my husband. We just thought that we don’t need a special day to express our love for each other, since we do it everyday in simple but meaningful ways.
In Korea, Valentine’s Day is celebrated the way it is done in Japan. (Korea was colonized by Japan in the early 1900s). Girls prepare chocolates to give to their boyfriends. A month later, the boys give hard candies to their girlfriends on “White Day.”
Here’s a list of other “14th day” holidays as posted before. Not every “day” in the list is celebrated though. I think they were designated by clever businessmen for the gullible Korean lovers 🙂
