On Children's Day, many parents across the country take their small children on a trip to children's parks. This holiday is intended to help families strengthen the image of society that is still influenced by Confucianism.

April is now coming to an end and marks the beginning of May. In South Korea, May is considered one of the most festive months as it has several special days to celebrate. These holidays are also mostly associated with families, making May a “Family Month.” The first in the series of Korean holidays in the month of May is Children's Day (어린이날 Orininal May 5th).

Children's Day actually began on May 1, 1922 through the hard work of popular children's author Bang Jeong-hwan (방정환). His goal for the holiday was to promote love, care and respect for the youth because they are the future of the country. In 1946 it was moved to May 5th and was officially registered as a holiday in 1961.

One could say that Children's Day in Korea is viewed in the same way that Birthday and Christmas Day are expected by children in other countries. On this day, parents shower their children with gifts ranging from toys to money. Along with the gifts, they also spend time with them by visiting amusement parks, zoos, museums and other places aimed at children. Some areas also host various cultural programs that are fun for both parents and children. Regardless of how this day is celebrated, one thing is clear - the top priority during this holiday is children's happiness, which is why it is one of their favorite holidays.
