Have you ever heard about Parents’ Day? Since we were born, we’ve shown our parents love and appreciation in one form or another. Our relationship with our parents may not always be perfect, but there is so much for us to thank them for. It can be surprising how much we don’t show our thankfulness.
Parents’ Day is all about celebrating our parents! Below we will tell you all about this holiday celebrated globally but is especially important in Korea. It can also give you some great insight into Korean culture.
What is Parents’ Day?Parents’ Day is a family event where the focus is on celebrating the parents each year, recognizing the important role of parents in nurturing and raising children. This day is a holiday in Korea and the United States but celebrated on different dates. In Korea, it is a public holiday where people get a day off work. It is a newer holiday to celebrate than Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are.
In the United States, it started when Republican Senator Trent Lott introduced the bill which President Bill Clinton signed later on into a congressional resolution called “Parents’ Day Resolution”. This paved the way for National Parents’ Day to be celebrated since 1995. Since then, this has become a national observance up to the local governments, which was held on the fourth Sunday of July.
Globally, it was created by United Nations in 2012, declaring it as the Global Day of Parents. Although celebrated by many, it is not seen as an actual public holiday.
When is Parents’ Day celebrated?Parents’ Day is celebrated on different dates across countries worldwide. In Korea, Parents’ Day or 어버이날 (eobeoinal) is celebrated as a holiday on a national level each year on May 8th. Globally, June 1st is designated as the Global Day of Parents. In the United States, Parents’ Day is celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of July.
During the celebrations of Parents’ Day, different activities and events are enjoyed to show appreciation, recognition, and love towards parents’ role in raising their children.
Parents’ Day in KoreaSouth Korea is one of the countries in the world that like to commemorate Parents’ Day in a big way. In many other countries, the concept of a Parents’ Day may be unknown, especially compared to the other holidays for our parents, but South Korea is all about Parents’ Day.
Because of that, unlike in the United States or most parts of the world, South Korea does not have a separate Mother’s or Father’s Day.
History of Parents’ Day in KoreaThe first Parents’ Day was celebrated in Korea in 1973. Annually, the date of celebration falls on May 8th. It is not a public holiday, but it is widely celebrated. Initially, the entire week was designated as a week for respecting the elderly.
However, since 1997, October has been dedicated as the month for the elderly. Now, May is known more as a month of the family as, in addition to Parents’ Day, Children’s Day is also celebrated during the start of the month.
Is Korea celebrating Mother’s Day?Mother’s Day was already celebrated in Korea since the 1930s. Eventually, May 8 was officially designated as the day for the annual Mother’s Day celebration in Korea in 1956. This went on until 1973 when Parents’ Day replaced Mothers’ Day.
Is Korea celebrating Father’s Day?Korea does not celebrate Fathers’ Day separately. When Mother’s Day was established, considerations towards creating a Father’s Day in addition to Mother’s Day arose. This led to the new designation of May 8 as Parents’ Day instead of just Mother’s Day.
Does Korea celebrate Parents’ Day like the U.S.?Although Korea and the U.S. both recognize Parents’ Day, they celebrate this event differently. In the U.S., people celebrate National Parents’ Day yearly on the fourth Sunday of July on national levels. The National Parents’ Day council organizes events and ceremonies for National Parents’ Day, recognizing, uplifting, and supporting outstanding parents with Parents of the Year award programs.
This also serves as an event that encourages organizations and local governmental bodies and legislative entities to support parents who serve as role models to their children. Through this, they promote, responsible parenting, positive parenthood, and educational efforts.
On this day, parents or parental figures with the role of parents often receive gifts like cakes, flowers, cards, or food hampers from their families. National Parents’ Day greetings and tributes are also often made at events in the community or through church services.
How is Parents’ Day celebrated in Korea?On the other hand, here is how this day is celebrated in Korea. The first and best way is by celebrating it with your exemplary parents!
Children often write letters in school dedicated to their parents. At many schools, a special Parents’ Day Ceremony is also held. Children will sing a song made to celebrate this day, and their parents are invited. There is also a special activity arranged, where the children will wash their parents’ feet.
For adults, they usually take time out of their day to have a meal with their parents, coupled with a gift or a gift certificate as a show of gratitude. For the elderly, some activities are arranged as well. For example, social organizations will arrange for visits and activities for those in nursing homes.
Parents’ Day in Korea giftsAs mentioned above, school-aged children typically gift their parents with letters and handmade red carnations. Meanwhile, some of the most popular gifts for adult children to give are gift certificates, medical check-ups, vacations, and simply money, or other practical gifts such as mattresses and household appliances. It’s also common to cook a meal for your parents or take them out for dinner.
What are the commonly used words on Parents’ Day?We’ve listed down some words and phrases that are commonly used on Parents’ Day.
Korean Parents’ Day WordsHere is some Korean vocabulary that you’ll often hear on Parents’ Day.

Janghang-ri Temple Site – 장항리사지 (Gyeongju)
The Janghang-ri Temple Site is located in eastern Gyeongju at the base of Mt. Tohamsan (745.7 m) to the south. And it gets its name from the local village where it’s located in Janghang-ri. The temple site is also located to the southeast of the famed Seokguram Hermitage, which is situated near the top of the mountain. Of all the National Treasures in Gyeongju, the Janghang-ri Temple Site, alongside Jeonghyesa-ji Temple Site, is probably the least well known of the twenty-six.
The temple at the Janghang-ri Temple Site was first founded during the Unified Silla Kingdom (668-935 A.D.). Unfortunately, the exact date of when it was first founded, as well as the temple’s name, are unknown. Buddhist temples founded during the Unified Silla Kingdom typically consisted of a central gate, a main worship hall, and a lecture hall that were all aligned in front of each other. In addition to these temple structures, you would typically find a pair of pagodas out in front of the main worship hall. Rather strangely, while the temple at Janghang-ri has a main worship hall and two pagodas, both the central gate and the lecture hall have yet to be discovered at the site, even after recent, and extensive, excavation work. As for the pair of pagodas at the Janghang-ri Temple Site, they were damaged and destroyed by thieves in 1923. Of the two, the East Pagoda suffered the most when it was blown up. The remaining parts of the West and East Pagodas were collected and reassembled in 1932.
The Janghang-ri Temple Site is Historic Site #45, while the West Pagoda (the one less damaged) is National Treasure #236.
The West Pagoda at the Janghang-ri Temple Site from A Study of Korean Pagodas from 1947. Temple Site LayoutYou first approach the temple site up a winding country road. From the temple site’s parking lot, you’ll need to descend a set of stairs, cross over a bridge spanning a river, and then ascend a set of one hundred stairs to arrive at the plateau where the Janghang-ri Temple Site is located.
In parts, the temple site is over grown, but it’s obvious that a lot of recent work has been done at the Janghang-ri Temple Site to make it more accessible to visitors. Looking down from the Janghang-ri Temple Site, you’ll see the meandering Daejong-cheon River flowing out to the East Sea. The first things you’ll notice when you look around the temple site grounds are the two pagodas: The East Pagoda and the West Pagoda. These pagodas date back to the 8th century. The East Pagoda is the one that was more severely damaged of the two. All that still remains of the East Pagoda is the five-story roof stones, missing are the base and the finial. However, you can still see the beautiful stone reliefs adorning the first body stone of this structure.
As for the West Pagoda, it was less damaged during the assault in 1923. As a result, it was re-assembled in its original location. The West Pagoda stands at 9.1 metres in height, and it’s believed that both the East and West Pagodas were equal in height. The West Pagoda is largely intact, and it rests upon a two-tier foundation. Columns and pillars are carved on all sides of the foundation. The body and roof stones are made from separate stones. The roof stone, which are rather thin and flat, are turned upwards. There are marks on each of the corners of the eaves, which suggests that there used to be ornamental bells that once hung from the pagoda. The most noteworthy feature of the West and East Pagodas are the reliefs of doors on the first story of the body. Each door is then flanked by Geumgang-yeoksa (Vajra Warriors). The finial is missing from the West Pagoda. The West Pagoda is National Treasure #236.
The layout of the Janghang-ri Temple Site (Picture Courtesy of this Korean blog).Overall, the temple grounds at the Janghang-ri Temple Site are quite small. The West Pagoda stands some fifteen metres away from the main hall site. The foundation and some stones that were used to create the foundation still remain. Additionally, the stairs in front of the main hall still remain, as well. At the centre of the main hall site is a two-tiered pedestal that once held an image of the Buddha. There are relief images of Buddhist guardians and lions surrounding the circumference of the lower tier of the stone pedestal. Also, the lower tier of the pedestal is octagonal in shape. As for the round upper tier, it has lotus flower designs adorning it.
So where is the Buddha image that once stood atop this stone pedestal? In 1932, when the West Pagoda was being restored, fragments of the standing Buddha were discovered at the temple site. These destroyed fragments were taken to the Gyeongju National Museum at this time. It was eventually reassembled. It’s believed that the image was a standing stone image that stood four metres in height. Unfortunately, only the top half of this Buddha statue has been restored. The reason that it’s believed that the statue was once standing is that there’s a hole on top of the pedestal where a standing Buddha statue could be attached. So based upon the shape of this hole, it helps lead to this conclusion. The head of the statue is covered with thick, curly hair. And there are flames swirling around both the body and the head of the Buddha with a fiery surrounding mandorla. The statue is made from granite, and it dates back to the mid-8th century. And it can be seen outside on the Gyeongju National Museum grounds.
How To Get There Overall Rating: 6/10The little known Janghang-ri Temple Site is often overlooked for the more famous Gyeongju temples like Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Hermitage. And perhaps you haven’t even heard of this National Treasure. However, the 8th-century pagodas are stunningly beautiful as is the decorative pedestal. And if possible, and you can pack it into one day, you should visit the Gyeongju National Museum to see the standing Buddha statue.

The base of this pagoda is missing. And the reliefs of the Geumgang-yeoksa (Vajra Warriors) and door that adorns the first body stone of the East Pagoda. The West Pagoda that’s National Treasure #236. A closer look at the pitting, the Geumgang-yeoksa and door reliefs that also adorn the first body stone of the West Pagoda. The stone Buddha that once stood atop the pedestal at the Janghang-ri Temple Site but is now located at the Gyeongju National Museum. A closer look. —Dale's Korean Temple Adventures YouTube
