In South Korea, the tradition is for women to give small gifts like chocolates to men on Valentine's Day.  One month later, on March 14, they have White Day, on which the roles are reversed and men by the gifts for their ladyfriends.

For those not romantically involved, on April 14 they celebrate Black Day, getting together and eating noodles covered in black bean paste.

Japan.  The whole tradition was started in the 80's by the chocolate industry.  I'm sure making awkward situations for millions of people was truly appreciated.

Not sure if the Koreans started it or picked up on it.  The black bean paste thing, pretty sure that's all Korean.
