If Valentine\u2019s Day gives you a heavy heart instead of a heart-warming glow, try moving to South Korea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 14th February, women give chocolate to men as a sign of affection and all their loved ones have to do is say thank you (\uac10\uc0ac\ud569\ub2c8\ub2e4 or gamsahamnida in Korean).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the tables are turned on 14th March \u2013 known as White Day in South Korea\u200a \u2013 when men are expected to generally reciprocate with a white-coloured gift such as chocolate or lingerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even worse for men on White Day is that some people follow the so-called \u2018rule of three\u2019 which stipulates that the man\u2019s gift must be roughly three times the value of the gift received on 14th February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, for the Valentine\u2019s Day-averse, South Korea might just be your kind of hell. Koreans have a special \u2018love day\u2019 on the 14th of every month of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are: Black Day (April) when singletons eat black noodles (Jjayangmyeon) with other single friends, Rose Day (May), Kiss Day (June), Silver Day (July), Green Day (August), Photo Day (September), Wine Day (October), Movie Day (November), Hug Day (December) and Diary Day (January).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
