South Korean’s Children’s Day

The Korean’s allot a day to celebrate all kinds of love, February 14 for Valentine’s Day, March 14 for White Day, April 14 for Black Day, and now May 5 for Children’s Day.

Children’s Day is the day where the parents give their children some spoiling. They dress up their kids, take them to the parks especially amusement parks, zoo, cinemas, and they join a variety of celebratory and fun events for children across the country. It was founded by the Korean children’s writer Pang Chong-hwan in 1923 as a way to instill in the children a sense of independence and national pride.

There so many activities that the kids can join in Children’s Day, there are traditional games like yut.  Most often is that gifts are given to the children from the stores where they visited.  There is also a Taek won do demonstration because this self defense originated in Korea more than two thousand years ago.
