April 14th is Black Day 🖤 in South Korea 🇰🇷. People dress in black & eat jajang noodles 🍜 in black bean sauce 🫘, black coffee ☕ & dark chocolate 🍫. It was originally a response
to white day 🤍 (March 14th) when those who
received valentines 🩷 on February 14th reciprocate. In Asian cultures there is often pressure to continue one's family line, so Black Day was a
pity party for those who failed to find a partner.
Yet in recent years some people are rebelling against societal expectations 🏴☠️ & have made the
day into a celebration of freedom from relationships.
