According to Wikipedia, Kevin chose
January 21 as the National Hug Day because it fell between the Christmas and
New Year's Holidays and Valentine's Day. Also, it's the time when people are
usually blue. I guess this maybe also the reason why the Blue Monday falls on
the third Monday of January. Interesting choice of picking January 21, Kevin.
He hopes this National Hug Day will
make people feel less embarrassed to show their emotions in public. Do you feel
embarrassed to hug in public?
I don't. I don't feel embarrassed to
show you my best 2016 Korean Drama Hug Scenes, either.
Drumroll, please.
My Top 3 hug scene is from Guardian:
The Lonely and Great God 도깨비 episode 11.
Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun) is destined
to be the Goblin Kim Shin (Gong Yoo)'s wife. As his bride, she can see ghosts. In
episode 11, she almost gets killed helping one of her ghost friends. After Eun
Tak and Shin returned home, she asks him if he's still angry. Shin bear hugs
her and tells her he's worried instead. Then she asks him several questions and
he answers every question with a "no". To tease him, she tells him
when she starts her university study, she'll wear mini shirts to go on tons of blind dates. Shin yells
"NO!" jealously. Eun Tak smiles happily and hugs him back. What a
cute hug!
My Top 2 hug scene is from Descendants
of the Sun 태양의 후예 episode 16.
The team leader of South Korea's special
forces unit Yoo Shi Jin (Song Joong Ki) aka Big Boss washes his girlfriend's
car (also called Big Boss) at a car wash. His girlfriend Kang Mo Yeon (Song Hye
Kyo), a doctor at Haesung Hospital, accidentally blasts him with water. Refers to what happened in the past, she jokes
about she can see through his clothes and gives him her coat. Shi Jin complains
he's freezing and snuggles up to Mo Yeon. She hugs him. This is a joyful hug!
My Top 1 hug scene is from Love in
the moonlight 구르미 그린 달빛 episode 13.
Hong Ra On / Hong Sam Nom (Kim You
Jung) found out her father is the rebel leader Hong Gyeong Nae. But she wants to
spend as much time as possible with her lover the Crown Prince Lee Yeong (Park
Bo Gum) before she leaves the Palace. Inside Yeong's library, she tries to
organize his books to prepare for her secret departure. When Yeong doesn't see
Ra On around him, she surprises him by hugging him from his back. She asks for
his permission to hug him just like that for awhile. He smiles and tells her to
stay as is for as long as she wants. With Ra On locks her fingers together around his waist, Yeong puts both of his
hands on top of hers. Then he leans his head back into hers. What a
heartrending and bittersweet hug!
Even some hugs are heartrending, hugging
can make us feel better emotionally and medically. Hugs not only help us build
a good immune system, reduce stress, high blood pressure and high heart rate,
also it helps us decrease the risk of heart disease.
I'd like to hug you and make you
happier and healthier. Does anyone need a hug? You don't need a hug coupon to get my hug ♥
Don't wait for another National Hug Day. Happy Hugging everyday my friends ♥ OOO ♥
