Cultural Context
The 'Baekil' (백일) celebration marks 100 days since a baby's birth. Historically, infant mortality was high, so reaching 100 days was a significant milestone, symbolizing the baby's survival and health. Families often prepare a small feast, share 'baekil tteok' (백일 떡 - 100-day rice cakes) with neighbors and relatives, and receive gifts. It's a more intimate celebration than 'dol' (first birthday) but still very important, especially for grandparents.
