Couple Culture in Korea
In Korea, couples really like to “show-off” that they are couples. Wearing matching clothes, shoes, accessories, socks, backpacks, etc. is a common norm for couples.
Couple rings is a very normal thing for couples to exchange while they are dating. This is very different to American culture, where you usually exchange rings after a long and committed relationship. However, when they get married, there are some couples that don’t wear their rings, which is the opposite in American culture.
Anniversaries and important days are different in Korean culture. For dating couples, they celebrate days like 100 day anniversary, 200 anniversary, 1000 day anniversary, etc. and it continues.
In Korean culture, couple holidays seem to fall on the 14th of each month. For example:
February 14th- Valentine’s Day (girl gives chocolate to a guy and if he accepts, he has to give her something for white day)
March 14th- White Day (guys give gifts to girl^)
April 14th – Black Day (Singles’ day)
May 14th - Rose Day (guy gives girl a rose)
June 14th –Kiss Day
July 14th - Silver Day (exchange of rings)
and so on.
