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.
