In light of the upcoming ‘Pepero holiday’, singer Kim Hyun Joong prepared special Pepero gifts for his fans.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Pepero Day, it’s an unofficial holiday in South Korea developed by Lotte Corporation, who manufactures Pepero snacks. Pepero Day is held on November 11th since the date “11/11″ resembles four Pepero sticks. It’s practiced mainly by young couples who exchange Pepero sticks and other sweets — in other words, it’s technically like a Korean Valentines Day.
