With Valentineâs Day just right around the corner, Texas Tech international students share their cultureâs style in romance, proving just how diverse the celebration of love can be.
Juhee Kang, last semester applied linguistics graduate student from South Korea and president of Techâs Korean Student Association, said Valentineâs Day is so popular in South Korea that it has two holidays widely celebrated every year.
South Korea celebrates Valentineâs Day on Feb. 14 and White Day on March 14, with both dates differing in focus, according to the Asia Society website.
âIn Korea, only girls give guys a present on Valentineâs Day, and on White Day, only guys give girls a present,â Kang said.

Dec. 30 (UPI) President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday appointed or nominated several officials to the Defense Department and White House staff, including what would potentially be the highest-ranking female Pentagon official in U.S. history.
The transition team announced that Biden nominated Kathleen Hicks as deputy secretary of defense and Colin Kahl as undersecretary of defense for policy.

If confirmed, Hicks would be the first woman to serve as deputy secretary for the Pentagon. She would serve under former four-star Army Gen. Lloyd Austin III, whom Biden nominated to head the Pentagon earlier this month.
