About This Trend

어버이날 (Parents' Day) is a holiday in Korea, celebrated on May 8th, where people show appreciation for their parents. It was originally inspired by the American Mother's Day and was first celebrated in Korea in 1956 as 어머니날 (Mother's Day), but was later changed to 어버이날 (Parents' Day) in 1973 to include fathers as well.

The current reason for trending is that 어버이날 (Parents' Day) is approaching, and people are searching for gift ideas and ways to express their gratitude to their parents. Many are opting for practical gifts such as cash, 신선한 제철 과일 (fresh seasonal fruits), and 한우 세트 (Korean beef sets), rather than traditional 카네이션 (carnations) .
