On Parents' Day, May 8, a flower market in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, buzzed with people hunting for carnations. Bright red and soft pink potted carnations and floral baskets lined one side of the shop, greeting customers with cheerful displays.
Shoppers chose blooms for their parents and added little tags that read \"Thank you\" or \"I love you.\" Some compared pots side by side to judge color and size, while vendors moved quickly to wrap up ordered flower baskets.
Carnations remain a classic Parents' Day gift. Shoppers left the market carrying blooms chosen to express their personal thanks and love.
