Valentine's Day Across the Globe

Singaporeans, Chinese, and South Koreans spend the most money on Valentine’s Day gifts worldwide.

In Japan, it has become an obligation for many women to give chocolates to all male co-workers.

Men return the favor on March 14, “White Day,” handing out white chocolates, lingerie, and jewelry to friends and loved ones.

In South Korea, there is a “Black Day” on April 14, where those who didn’t receive anything on Valentine’s Day eat black noodles and mourn their single life.
