In Korea, teacher’s day is the 15th of May. When is teacher’s day in your country? People from Red Cross started to find their teachers who taught them and gave them presents. This started in the 8th of May 1958. It was the beginning of teacher’s Day. It could have been the 8th of May since now, but in Korea people started to celebrate on the 15th starting in the year of 1965. The reason that Korean changed the date is because this is the day which a great teacher was born. He was a king in Joseon Dynasty and is famous still now with his achievement. He made ‘Hunminjeongeum’ which is the basic of Korean. The king’s name is ‘Sejoung.’ People really respect this king and think he was a real teacher to all the people. That is why still now many people respect him. This is why Korea’s Teacher’s Day is based on Sejoung’s birthday.
