Es una festividad muy parecida al Día de San Valentín y se celebra el 14 de marzo. En esta fecha los hombres que recibieron chocolates el día de San Valentín, lo agradecen dando un regalo a la mujer.

White Day is a day that is marked in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Chinaon March 14, one month after Valentine's Day.
In South Korea, White Day is observed as a day for men to give women sweets, as a sort of repayment for the gifts women gave on Valentine's Day (usually of thechocolate variety). However, in contrast to Japan, men generally purchase lollipops or other hard candies for the holiday. Chocolate gift sets are also sold for the holiday, but the majority of the gifts sets are filled with hard candies.
