The Unique Way Korea Celebrates Valentine’s Day + Gift Ideas

If you’re in Korea for Valentine’s Day, don’t expect your man to surprise you with chocolates—because here, it’s the women who give gifts first! On February 14th, women traditionally gift chocolates or presents to men, whether it’s a partner, crush, or even a friend. But the tradition doesn’t stop there. Exactly one month later, on White Day (March 14th), men return the favor with gifts for the women. This two-part celebration makes Valentine’s Day in Korea unique, and it’s a fun tradition that many people—couples and friends—take part in.

‍

Whichever way you choose to celebrate, regardless of gender, Valentine’s Day is a great time to show appreciation for the people you care about—whether with a simple gesture or a thoughtful gift.
