Pepero Day

Pepero Day is a special day that is celebrated on November 11th in South Korea. It is a fun holiday where people exchange delicious sticks of a biscuit called "Pepero" with their loved ones, friends, and family. It is a bit like Valentine's Day, but instead of giving chocolate, people give and receive Pepero biscuits as a way of showing love and affection.

On Pepero Day, you can see lots of colorful and fancy packaging of Pepero biscuits in stores and supermarkets, making it a very exciting and festive time. People often give Pepero to their crush, best friend, or girlfriend/boyfriend, in hopes of strengthening their relationship. Sharing Pepero biscuits is seen as a fun and sweet ritual that brings people closer together.

Many people believe that Pepero Day started in the 1990s when two girls exchanged boxes of Pepero biscuits on November 11th, which looks like a series of ones (11/11) and the long and thin shape of the biscuits represented the number one. Since then, the holiday has grown in popularity and is now celebrated by many people in South Korea.

Overall, Pepero Day is a delightful and cheerful holiday that celebrates love, friendship, and the joy of sharing delicious biscuits with your loved ones.
