In some countries particularly in South Korea, the 14th day of every month is the Valentine's Day, people can celebrate it twelve times in a year.


January 14 >> "Diary Valentine's Day"
On this day, lovers will give each other a diary which records their happy moments of the past year. This also symbolizes that they will face together, hand in hand, another year of their relationship.


February 14 >> "Traditional Valentine's Day"
Girls usually will give dark chocolates to the guy they like.


March 14 >> "White Valentine's Day"
Guys receive chocolates from the girls a month before this date, and girls are looking forward to their gifts, in return for what they had given them. If the guy liked the girl who gave chocolates to him last month, he should give her white chocolates; if the guy doesn't like much the girl and he just wanna be friends with her, he should give her a (valentine) card.


April 14 >> "Black Valentine's Day"
For lovers, they eat mixed sauce noodles. According to tradition, the slimy and stretchy-yet-unbreakable noodles can be make their hearts be "together as one".
This day is for singles too, "black valentine's day" is actually meant for them. The singles and the loners meet each other in one place, encourage each other, and make themselves happy. They usually wear black clothes and drink coffee without creamer or milk, intentionally, to make "love be driven away by darkness".


May 14 >> "Rose Valentine's Day"
A man gives roses to the woman, but the color of the rose has its own meaning. If the color is white, the man just want the girl to know that he's her friend; if yellow, he's her confidant; and if red, he's your lover.


June 14 >> "Kiss Valentine's Day"
If the girl received a red rose the previous month, that means they have to kiss on this day! In the streets of South Korea, lovers kiss each other publicly, so don't be intimidated (if you will ever have a chance to witness it there), 'cause it's really their Kissing Day!


July 14 >> "Silver Valentine's Day"
The guy will introduce the girl to his parents, and the guy to the girl's parents. Lovers will also give each other items made of silver, especially, accessories.

Greenest is the summer of South Korea in August, that's why lovers tend to give themselves time to travel/make an outing together with Mother Nature.


September 14 >> "Photo Valentine's Day"
Photo Valentine's Day is also called Music Valentine's Day. This is a huge social event wherein lovers will introduce their partners to their friends and officemates. This is also a good opportunity for the singles to look for someone who suits them. Everyone takes pictures and dances to the rhythm of the music.


October 14 >> "Wine Valentine's Day"
