Black Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Day (April 14) is an informal tradition for single people to get together and eat noodles with black bean sauce in South Korea.
The idea is that those who didn't give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day or White Day, can get together and eat Jjajangmyeon (짜장면), Korean noodles with black bean sauce (hence the name) to commiserate their singledom.
The Korean black day has inspired others around the world to adopt this holiday. A internationally renowned yo-yo player who goes by the nickname of Black has started an annual celebration of Black Day among yo-yo players, who celebrate their single status with black yo-yos and making web-pages around the world black.
[edit] Black days in history
A particular black day, for instance Black Friday, refers to a day in history on which a particularly undesirable event occurred. An instance of this kind of use in popular culture would be with the song "Fell on Black Days".
