How Different Cultures Embrace Valentine’s Day

In South Korea, Valentine’s Day and White Day are also celebrated, but they have added a unique twist with a day called "Black Day." Celebrated on April 14, this day is for singles who have not received gifts on the previous two occasions. Those who find themselves alone on Valentine’s or White Day gather to eat black noodles, known as jajangmyeon, as a way of embracing their single status and commiserating with friends.
