**Last updated on: 15 October 2020**
In South Korea, the 14th of every month is a special day which lovers and/or friends can celebrate together. Below is a list of these special days and the relevant rituals:
14 January: Diary Day – Giving diaries or yearly planners as presents to lovers and friends to welcome the start of the New Year
14 February: Valentine’s Day – Females giving chocolate as presents to the males they love to express their affection
14 March: White Day – Males giving candies as presents to the females they love to express their affection
14 April: Black Day – Single people wearing black and eating 자장면(Jiajangmyeon – Korean Black Bean Sauce Noodles) together to console each other
14 May: Yellow Day / Rose Day – Single people wearing yellow, eating yellow curry and making resolutions to find a lover and cease to be single, and lovers giving each other roses as presents
14 June: Kiss Day – Lovers kissing each other
14 July: Silver Day – Lovers giving each other silver rings or other silver accessories as presents and making promises to love each other forever
14 August: Green Day – Lovers going to the countryside and enjoying the nature together, and single people drinking 소주 (Soju – a kind of Korean alcoholic beverages in green bottles) to drive away loneliness
14 September: Photo Day – Lovers taking photos together
14 October: Wine Day – Lovers enjoying wine together
14 November: Movie Day – Lovers watching movies together
14 December: Hug Day – Lovers hugging each other (Good for keeping warm in winter!)
Today is the Diary Day – have you given any yearly planners or diaries as presents to your lovers and/or friends?
Happy Diary Day! 🙂

Thanks for your comments. I am happy to hear that this blog post provides some information that you have been looking for.
Currently, the materials on this topic tend to be brief and there seems to be no detailed research on this topic yet. The sources I choose for my blog posts are the ones which I find more reliable. For example, this post’s sources are a book on Korean culture (in Korean) from an established publisher, information provided by the official Korea Tourism Organization and what I experienced during my 6-month stay in South Korea.
I do not know the details of your mission but if there are any specific aspects of this topic that you would like to know, please let me know and I will try to see if there are any good research materials on them.
Wishing you every success in your mission.
