Black Day (Korean: 블랙데이) is an unofficial holiday observed on April 14 each year.

Because of all the love holidays (14 to be exact) that occur in Korea, many felt that single people also deserved recognition.

White Day is celebrated on March 14, when men reciprocate the gifts with their own, also present in the form of chocolate.

Some people celebrate Black Day with their friends to embrace the fact that they are single, since there is less societal pressure[5] to be in a relationship in Korea today.

People eat jajangmyeon on Black Day because it is a simple, yet delicious dish that one can get at a cheap price.
