Hongkong Banjeom, 6,000 Won Jajangmyeon for 3,000 Won
Seven Eleven, 11st Street, and Others 'Black Food' Event
Modamoda, 'Black Concept' Special Exhibition Until the 20th
Black Day (April 14) is known as a day when people who did not receive gifts on Valentine’s Day (February 14) and White Day (March 14) soothe their disappointment by eating Jajangmyeon.
Hong Kong Banjeom 0410, operated by The Born Korea, will sell its regular 6,000 KRW menu item ‘Jajangmyeon’ at half price, 3,000 KRW, to customers visiting the store on the 14th. Among the 278 stores nationwide, 269 stores including 83 in Seoul will participate in this event, and delivery-only stores that do not operate on-site will also offer the same discount for takeout orders.
Hong Kong Banjeom 0410 explained that they have been holding the Black Day discount event for 10 years since 2014.
Chinese food franchise QQ Myeon Gwan will also commemorate Black Day by offering a discount on their 7,000 KRW ‘Uni Jjajang’ menu to customers visiting their directly operated stores in Hoegi and Samsung from the 10th to the 16th, for one week, at a price of 4,900 KRW.
By using convenience stores or marts, you can also enjoy Jajangmyeon at a discounted price at home. Seven Eleven is holding a ‘1+1’ event throughout this month to celebrate Black Day on major ‘black food’ products such as Ottogi Mayo Jjajang Fried Big Cup, Samyang Cutique Essential Jjajang Big Cup, Harim The Misik Uni Jajangmyeon Bowl, Ottogi Jjajang Cupbap, and Chilsung Pepsi Cola Zero. A Seven Eleven representative said, “Last year on April 14, Black Day, sales of Jajang ramen doubled compared to the same period the previous month,” adding, “Frozen Jajangmyeon sales increased by 70%, pickled radish by 20%, and cola by 15%, so we prepared the event again this year.”
11st is holding a ‘Black Day’ special exhibition until the 14th, gathering representative black foods such as Jajangmyeon, chocolate snacks, and black coffee in one place. They have prepared a variety of Jajangmyeon products with different flavors that can be easily enjoyed at home, including Nongshim Chapagetti, No Brand Instant Jjajangmyeon, Samyang Jjajang Buldak Bokkeum Myun, and Paldo Teumsae Ramen Spicy Jjajang.
Modamoda is holding a special exhibition called ‘Black Concept Product Bundle’ from the 10th to the 20th of this month to mark Black Day week.
The promotional product is the ‘Moda Black Universe Set,’ a set product combining Prochange Black Shampoo (300g), Boosting Treatment (200g), and Hair Cover Stick (black color).
In particular, the Prochange Hair Cover Stick (available in black, dark brown, and natural brown colors), which has recently emerged as a hot item in the gray hair coverage field due to its convenience, can be purchased at a 30% discount off the regular price when bought as a 1+1 deal.
