It's November 11 or 11/11 which means it's Pepero Day in Korea. It is named after a Korean snack (Pepero) which is a pretzel stick dipped in chocolate & nuts etc. It is celebrated on this day because the date (11/11) resembles four sticks of Pepero! It is celebrated the same way Valentines Day is and young couples often give e'other Pepero gift boxes. As with any other 'holiday' Pepero Day has become very commercialized.This was around 5pm yesterday.
