What February Means to Many South Koreans

Time flies! We are already halfway through February. February is a short month, isn’t it?Somehow it always feels short to many Koreans. Let me explain why.

1. When kids go back to school after their long winter break, they only have about a week of classes in February until spring starts.

2. The Korean school year begins in March and gradution is held in February.

3. Often, the Lunar New Year fall in February. This also makes the month feel so much shorter.
