Paebaek is taken place after the wedding, the bride and groom sit together and pay their respects to the groom's family. The mother-in-law throws jujubes into the bride's skirt at this time, thus giving them the good wish of having many children. Jujubes signify riches, honor, and male heirs in Korea. Though westernized weddings are common in Korea, this custom is always performed afterwards. Because this is a family-only event, tourists are not allowed and is not a part of the wedding reenactment.
Now a days people have been making this ceremony more of a casual celebration for all of their guests to enjoy. It's a 30 min open show where the bride and groom wears their traditional dresses and bow to their elders.
