EXPECTING mothers in South Korea have inundated hospitals with requests for a Caesarean section delivery on November 11 to secure the unique life-long identity number of "111111" for their children, media reported yesterday.
The Korean Resident Registration Number, an identification number for all residents in Korea, is composed of 13 numbers with the first six numbers corresponding to the date of birth. The number of appointments for C-section births on November 11 was 20 percent higher this year than previous years, Seoul Newspaper said.
November 11 is known as Pepero Day, or Sweetest Day, here and is similar to Valentine's Day. It was named after the Korean snack Pepero, because the date 11/11 resembles five sticks of Pepero.
