What is White Day?

What is White Day? Before we talk about White day, let's talk about Valentine first.
February, 14^th, well-known as Valentine’s Day, is the most romantic day reserved to celebrate love. The history of this day was originated to honor Saint Valentine of Rome though later shifted to be a commercial celebration. It is a general practice to exchange the heart-shaped chocolate and cards with love message between couples, family, and friends on this day.

While Valentine's Day is generally celebrated all around the globe, a month later on 14^th of March, countries in East Asia region uniquely celebrate the so-called White Day, as a response to the Valentine’s Day. Starting form Japan, nowadays the neighboring countries such as Taiwan, China, and South Korea celebrate the White Day as well.
It is customary for girls and woman sending chocolate as gifts to boys or men on Valentine’s Day. Then, in return, the men will present other gifts to women on White Day. In Japan, the return is varied from chocolates, marshmallow, or even jewelries. In Korea, usually hard candies like lollipops. But then, as I experience my fifth White Day in Korea, generally two lollipops are usually given as gifts to their female friends. Couples..have plenty of cute options that have already wrapped in the store everywhere, especially the convenience stores.

So, are you going to give candy to your companion on white day?
