About the rite
South Korea’s Coming-of-Age Day centers on young people turning nineteen. Families and partners may give flowers, perfume, or a kiss as contemporary symbols of affection and maturity. A municipality marked the day in 2026. The celebration is distinct from reconstructed Confucian cap-and-hairpin rites.
