Sticking it to Pepero Day
Far left, Choi Won-byeong, chairman of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, better known as Nonghyup, eats ox bone soup with rice noodles for lunch and rice cake for dessert yesterday as part of a campaign to spur more rice consumption. Nonghyup held various events across the country yesterday to promote Nov. 11 as “Garaetteok Day,” named after stick-shaped rice cakes, instead of the more commonly recognized “Pepero Day,” when lovers give each other the chocolate-covered cookie sticks.
