Hello 😊

Do you know what day November 11th is every year? November 11th is Korean Pepero Day. Today, I will introduce you to Korean Pepero Day~

1️⃣ Introducing Korean Pepero Day

Pepero Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated in Korea every year on November 11th.

Pepero is a snack similar to a chocolate stick, and it is very delicious. International students who have not tried it yet, try it this time! Pepero Day is a day to share friendship or express affection with close people by giving and receiving Pepero. Pepero is celebrated on November 11th because its long shape resembles the number "1".

Pepero Day dates back to the late 1980s, when the small-scale custom of handing out Pepero sticks among students quickly spread, intertwined with corporate marketing. Since then, it has become a day to express friendship, love, and gratitude, mainly among young people, and now it is a day to celebrate by giving various chocolates and candies in addition to Pepero sticks.

2️⃣ Korean Pepero Day - Confession Day

Pepero Day is also known as Confession Day! On this day, many people give Pepero as gifts and have the opportunity to confess their feelings to their partner. Many people use this day to confirm their feelings or have a special time to confess their love. In this way, Pepero Day is a special day filled with feelings and intentions beyond simply exchanging snacks. If you have someone you like, give them a Pepero as a gift on that day!

Many people make their own Pepero on this day. You can make your own Pepero by combining various ingredients such as chocolate, nuts, sprinkles, and caramel. A DIY party with friends makes it even more special~
