14 April in Korea is celebrated as the Black Day which is a day specifically designed for single people in Korea.

On Black Day, jjajang myeon-eating contests will be organised and many singles in Korea will be seen having jjajang-myeon in the restaurant, comforting themselves with a bowl of noodle. (ps: sounds so sad TT) Not only jjajang-myeon, black coffee sales in Korea also spike up on Black Day, which shows that any food symbolize the black colour will be consumed during that day. Singles also dress up in black as a way to embrace their singlehood.
