How did it begin?

Boreum is a Korean word for the fifteenth day of a lunar month. This calendar marks day 15 of every Korean lunar month, including leap months. It is separate from Jeongwol Daeboreum, the festival on the first lunar month’s fifteenth day, and Amitabha Day. This date does not specify the exact astronomical moment of the full moon.
