"The 14th in Korea"

14th Jan | Diary Day
To symbolize the beginning of a new year, couples exchange yearly planners in which they mark their plans, anniversaries, birthdays and other important dates.

14th Feb | Valentine’s Day
If a woman wants to confess her love for a man, or express her feelings for him, this is the day to give that special someone some chocolate. The streets of Korea begin to line itself with chocolate-filled lace baskets about a week prior to Valentine’s Day. This day particularly makes a large profit in department stores, hotels, chocolate stores, bakeries, jewelry stores, and doll stores.

14th March | White Day
This special day is in correspondence to Valentine’s Day. On White Day, it is the men’s turn to confess and express his love and affection for that special someone by giving her candies and gifts. The customary gifts on White Day are candy, not chocolate, jewelry, flowers, or dolls. Many men also highlight this day with romantic dinners and events. If one should forget this day and offer nothing to his significant other, he may not hear the end of it for a while.

14th April 14th | Black Day
Black Day is a day for singles. After the two romantic love-filled months, lonely singles surely are not in the best of moods. Therefore, Black Day is designated especially for singles. To console each other for enduring these past two months being single, people who are single will get together on this special day to eat Jjajangmyeon, black noodles.

Many people will also dress in all black, from head to toe including black accessories and black nail polish. Hence, the name Black Day. Their sense of camaraderie will be stronger on this day as they declare “No to couples, and yes to singles!” but there are a few singles that find a suitable mate.
