These 15 K-Pop Debut “Birth” Flowers And Their Meanings Will Make You Soft

The language of flowers is ancient and has long described people’s traits and ambitions.

Many countries have given flowers meaning for various occasions, and a common theme is “birth flowers”.  Most English-speaking countries give each month a significant flower(s) (ex. March = Daffodil, September = Aster/Morning Glory, etc.), however, Korea is unique in that it gives a birth flower for every single day of the year!

While it is technically just the day a group debuted their first song, isn’t it kind of like a birthday for the group? We looked at a few different groups and what flowers lined up with the day of their debut!
