Children’s Day (orini nal) is a South Korean national holiday celebrated on May 5. It was founded by the Korean children’s writer Pang Chong-Hwan in 1923 as a way to instill in the children a sense of independence and national pride. Children’s Day highlights the dignity of children and their need for love, care, and respect. It is also a day to honor adults that have contributed to improving the lives of children.
