"선물" is the Korean word for "gift" or "present." It refers to an item given to someone without the expectation of payment or return. Gifts are often exchanged during special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, or celebrations, symbolizing affection and appreciation. In Korean culture, the act of giving a 선물 is significant and often involves thoughtful consideration of the recipient's preferences. Common gifts include items like food, clothing, or handmade crafts. The presentation of the gift, including wrapping and the manner of giving, is also important, reflecting respect and care for the recipient.
