Hwangab is the 60th anniversary of one's birth in Korea. In old Korean society not many Koreans lived to be 60 years old in good health because of illness and natural death before 60. A large party was held to celebrate one's 60th birthday with many relatives and friends in attendance.

Today, people generally live longer than before. Most Koreans now take trips with their families instead of having a big party to celebrate their 60th birthday. Parties are also thrown when a person reaches 70 (called Gohi or Chilsun) or 80 (Palsun) years of age.
