[Photo] May is month for family and children in South Korea

South Korean celebrates Children’s Day, a national holiday, every May 5. Parents often give their children presents and take them to places like zoos and amusement parks. The children in the above photo are seen running and chasing bubbles in Children’s Grand Park in Seoul’s Gwangjin District on May 4, the day of the 2018 Fairy Tale Festival and one day before the national holiday. The South Korean government made Children’s Day an official national holiday in 1970. (Baek So-ah, staff photographer)
