Parent's Day in Korea (Travelers Planet Hostel, Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea)

Hello this is Johnny!

Do you know there is 'Parent's Day' in Korea?

Instead of having usual 'Mother's Day' or 'Father's Day' in other countries,

in Korea, we have 'Parent's Day' and it is 8th of May! Today!

What do we do sons and daughters do at Parent's Day,

we give carnation flowers to our parents usually to pay our respect and thanking them for raising us.

However, it doesn't have to be a carnation flower at all. Any gift that shows your love to them is good, or I can say

who cares for presents! 'I Love You', 'Thank You' words that truly comes out from your heart.

Isn't that what all parents truly want? :)

So I hope you had said that exact word today to your parents~

Even if it's not parent's day in your country, there's no harm doing it!
