Celebrate Pepero Day at Mongvely — Where Sweet Traditions Meet Korean BBQ
What Is Pepero Day?
A Sweet Korean Tradition (November 11)
Every year on November 11, Korea celebrates Pepero Day — a fun, unofficial holiday where people exchange long, thin chocolate-coated biscuit sticks called Pepero (빼빼로). The date (11/11) resembles four Pepero sticks, which is why it became the perfect day to share sweetness with friends, lovers, and even co-workers.
Unlike Valentine’s Day, which is mostly romantic, Pepero Day is about connection and appreciation. Students gift boxes to classmates, couples exchange them as tokens of affection, and families share them to express love. Supermarkets fill with limited-edition flavours, and the streets of Seoul glow with Pepero displays.
How It Started
The tradition started in South Korea with a legend of middle school girls exchanging Pepero snacks on November 11th, wishing to grow tall and slender like the sticks. Whether a marketing idea or genuine folklore, it became a national phenomenon. Today, it’s one of the most anticipated days in Korea, full of lighthearted joy — and perfect for sharing food with people you care about.
