"생일" is the Korean word for "birthday." It is a special day that celebrates the anniversary of a person's birth. In Korea, birthdays are often celebrated with family and friends, and traditional foods like 미역국 (seaweed soup) are served, especially for those turning a year older. In addition to personal celebrations, many people also celebrate the birthdays of famous figures, such as 이순신 or 김구. Birthdays can include various customs, such as giving gifts, throwing parties, and making wishes for the coming year.
