It’s Children’s Day, a very special Korean holiday, and Bossy Bear has a song to sing just for this very special day! Join Bossy Bear in singing to celebrate 어린이날 (pronounced eorininal) – which is Children’s Day in Korean!

Bossy Bear follows the titular Bossy (Jayden Ham) and his best friend Turtle (Jaba Keh) as they navigate the ins and outs of everyday life. Along the ride for fun are Bossy Bear’s parents (Claudia Choi and Shaun Baer), and Bossy’s little sister Bissy (Viva Lee). Choi also plays Gran-Gran, Turtle’s loving grandmother.

David Horvath and his wife Sun-Min Kim teamed up to create the series. Bossy Bear is inspired by their lives both living in Seoul and Los Angeles. The show takes place in the Koreatown-inspired city of Pleasantburg. Korean culture has been a staple in the series from day one, when the show’s grand premiere centered around Bossy Bear’s sister, Bissy, gaining the confidence to meet her favorite K-Pop band face-to-face. The show continues to celebrate Korean culture through “food, holidays, music, games, and so much more.”

Celebrating Children’s Day In Korea

Bossy Bear

If you’re wondering what Children’s Day means for South Korea, 90DayKorean.com has you covered! According to the site, Children’s Day is every 5th of May. Salaried workers, and children, get a day off of work and school so that they can spend the day together. The holiday dates back to the 1920’s, when students wanted to “draw attention to their situation to improve their status.” A major supporter of the movement was Dr. Bang Jeong-Hwan, a children’s writer. Jeong-Hwan started using the word 어린이 (eorini) to mean “children,” thus the start of 어린이날 (eorininal). The holiday was first declared on May 1st, but was moved to May 5th in the 1970’s to avoid clashing with Labor Day.

The popular ways to celebrate the occasion are covered in the Bossy Bear music video! The day is popular for parents to take their kids out and have a good time, whether it be to an amusement park, the zoo, or even on a picnic. Some families also take the day to go to a game, or a visit to the countryside. So long as everyone has fun, then the day is a success!

Nickelodeon’s Bossy Bear debuted in March 2023 and has made itself home ever since. Brand new episodes are set to premiere Monday through Thursday at 9AM (ET/PT) during the month of May, with international launches on Nick Jr’s other channels later in the year. Meanwhile, kids and parents can tune in for Bossy, as well as the rest of the Nick Jr gang, as they rock out on the official Nick Jr Music Youtube Channel.
