100-Day Anniversary
100일 baegil
You remember the date. Every date.
The 100-day anniversary (baegil, 100일) is the Korean custom of counting a relationship in days and celebrating day 100 — then 200, 300 and 1,000 — usually with a gift, a nice dinner or a cake with “100” on it.
It's you if…
- You know exactly how many days you've been together without opening an app.
- You plan surprises weeks ahead and keep receipts in a folder.
- Forgetting an anniversary isn't a small thing to you — and you never do.
The surprise
Day-counters are often the most relaxed partners on ordinary days. The milestones are where you put the effort, so the rest of the time you don't sweat the small stuff.

Korean couples usually count the day they started dating as day 1, and couple apps count the days automatically. The habit echoes an older custom: a baby's 100th day (baegil) was celebrated with rice cakes because surviving the first hundred days was once a real milestone.

Take the quizFrequently asked questions
Do Korean couples celebrate 100 days?
Yes. Many Korean couples celebrate the 100th day of dating, and often 200, 300 and 1,000 days too, with gifts, dinners or a small trip.
How do Koreans count 100 days?
Usually the first day of dating counts as day 1, so day 100 falls 99 days after it. Couple apps and calculators do the math.
Why is 100 days important in Korea?
It borrows from the baegil tradition for babies, when a child's 100th day was celebrated as a milestone of health. For couples it's simply the first big number.
These are common habits, not rules — plenty of Korean couples skip all of them. Origin stories that aren't certain are marked as what people say.
