White Day♡


As you may know, February 14th is a 'the Valentine Day'. This day is also in Korea and Korea has another special day, too. That name is a 'the White Day'!, that date is March 14th. Today is a March 12th in here and March 13th in Korea because Korea is ahead about 14hours of here. Then tomorrow is 'the White Day' in Korea!
Actually, when 'the Valentine Day' is coming, couples give candy or chocolate each other in America. However, in Korea, that customs are kind of different from here.



'the Valentine Day' is the day that girl declares her love for him with chocolate and 'the White Day' is the opposite day to 'the Valentine Day'. At the 'the White Day', boy presents girls with candy! In fact, 'the White Day' is only in Korea, Japan and Taiwan(but, I'm not sure...). One bakery company in Japan made 'the Valentine day' first to sell their company's chocolate and this event brought success, they also create 'the White Day' to sell their candy. Whatever reasons, I like those very very romantic days!!!
When I was a child, I always wondered that 'Why should girls receive candy?' because I like chocolate more than candy! and there were some competitions like that who is the one get much chocolate or candy. Some girls spend their whole pocket money to buy chocolates at 'the Valentine Day' to spread it to the classmates. It was a kind of tips to receive a lot of candy at 'the White Day' because the period difference between these two days is about 1month.

Anyway, I hope Ayoung should get very big candy from her boy friend the day after tomorrow!
