In Japan and South Korea, men are generally expected to spend three times as much on White Day as women spend on Valentine’s Day. If a man gives a gift equal in value to the one he received, it might imply he wants to break up. Yet another difference has to do with the colors associated with each day. Red is associated with Valentine’s Day. It’s the color of the heart and of love itself.
在日本和南韩，男性被预期在白色情人节的花费通常是女人在情人节所花的三倍。如果一个男人送出与他收到的有著同等价值的礼物，则可能暗指他想要分手。两个节日的另一个差异还与颜色有关。红色与情人节有关。它是心、也是爱本身的颜色。
