when is coming of age day in korea
Coming of age The Monday of the third week of May is "coming-of-age day". There has been a traditional coming of age ceremony since before Goryeo dynasty, but it has mostly disappeared. In the traditional way, when boys or girls were between the ages of fifteen and twenty, boys wore gat, a Korean traditional hat made of bamboo and horsehair, and girls did their hair in chignon with binyeo, a Korean traditional ornamental hairpin. Both of them wore hanbok, and wearing hanbok on the coming of age ceremony can be sometimes seen even now.
Time in South Korea South Korea has one timezone, Korea Standard Time (UTC+09:00), which is abbreviated KST.[1][2] South Korea does not currently observe daylight saving time, but experimented with it during the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.[3][4] North Korea used Korea Standard Time until 2015, when it adopted Pyongyang Standard Time (UTC+08:30).[5]
