June 25 is remembered in South Korea as Yuk I Oh/육이오, or "six two five," the numerical date of the start of the Korean War. Technically, the north and south are still at war, so there is no closing date (although July 27, 1953 is accepted as the date of the armistice that halted major fighting). So: A mindful 육이오 to you.
