Like Americans, Koreans will celebrate Valentine’s Day Feb 14.
Unlike Americans, however, men will not be buying flowers, candy or jewelry for the women in their life.
Instead, under the Korean system, the girls buy gifts for the boys.
Korean Valentine's Day is similar to ours in theme, but limited in scope with only Korean girls giving chocolates to Korean boys.
Girls are returning the favor in memory of a traditional folk character - a poor girl who was in love with a wealthy boy.
The boy loved the poor girl, but was forced to part with her because of a parental mandate. Before he left, though, he gave her chocolates -- her favorite treat. Today, girls in Korea return the kind gesture of love by giving chocolates to the boys they like.
However, while boys don't have to do anything in February, their turn comes in March.
March 14th in Korea is White Day.
On White Day, Korean boys give candy or chocolates to Korean girls. Waiting one month to reciprocate a gift takes the pressure off the boys because they have usually figured out exactly who likes them and gave them a gift in February.
While it is not required that you give a return gift, that is usually the accepted thing to do. However, guys are not limited only to the people who gave them chocolate. They may give sweets to any girl they fancy.
If you received chocolate or candy in either February or March, you take the following month off to plan gifts for the rest of the year.
But if you weren't a recipient in February or March, then April becomes your month.
April 14th in Korea is called Black Day.
The girls and boys who did not receive chocolate or candy in February and March all come together for a meal of black noodles -- noodles with black bean sauce usually served in Chinese restaurants.
And, if they’re lucky, they will meet someone who will give them chocolates next year – either February 14 (Valentine’s Day) or March 14 (White Day). Hopefully, they won’t be celebrating Black Day two years in a row … unless they really like Black Noodles.
