November 11 marks Pepero Day, a South Korean holiday! As this particular date looks like a line of Pepero sticks, or cookie sticks, (11/11) Koreans like to take this opportunity to show their friends and loved one affection by exchanging these sweet, thin snacks.
K-Pop fans may know of Peperos not only as a delicious treat, but as the enabler of some awesome eye candy, especially when idols utilize them for a Pepero kiss! The Pepero kiss game is where two people need to eat a Pepero together, 'Lady and the Tramp' style, to make the shortest possible leftover in the middle. Of course, they can always choose to leave nothing in the middle and go for that kiss.
Check out these adorable, fangirl-worthy clips of some of our favorite idols going in for a Pepero kiss!
