Get ready to embark on a whirlwind of excitement as we share all the amazing adventures we had during the month of April and May!

This year we kicked off our annual Black Day celebration with a sensational bang! In a wonderful twist of fate, Black day happened to fall exactly one month before the heavily anticipated Born Pink concert in Singapore and we could not be more thrilled! 

In a gesture of appreciation and gratitude, we set out on a mission to honor the most devoted and passionate fans out there. The stakes were high, as we decided to give away not one, not two, but a jaw-dropping total of four coveted tickets to those who truly deserved to experience the excitement firsthand. 

Our in-store giveaway was an absolute blast, featuring a black day set filled with mouthwatering jjajangmyeon and a limited edition black charcoal cheesesticks, on top of which, a chance to score two Born Pink tickets! Talk about a double dose of awesomeness!

The fun didn't stop there. Due to the overwhelming demand from our in-store giveaway, we decided to take the excitement online. We hosted a second giveaway on Instagram, and it was a virtual frenzy of likes, shares, and passionate comments that made our hearts race with joy! Congratulations to those who won and those who, well, had fun trying! :D

From the very first note, the Born Pink concert unleashed an unstoppable wave of energy, with electrifying performances igniting the crowd into a frenzy of dance and song. And amidst this whirlwind of awe-inspiring talent and boundless enthusiasm, our four lucky ticket holders partied in the glory of their well-deserved prize. They danced, they sang, and they created memories that would be etched in their hearts forever.

As we reflect on the incredible journey we embarked upon during the months of April and May, we're reminded of the power of music to unite and inspire. The Black day celebration and the Born Pink concert will forever be etched in our memories as moments of pure bliss, reminding us of the joy and magic that music brings into our lives. As we bid farewell to May, we eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead. So buckle up, for the journey continues, and we'll be here, ready to share more exciting experiences with you in the days to come. Stay tuned, as there's much more excitement in store!

The role of Korean fried chicken in Korean pop music

K-pop has been taking over the music industry in recent years, with groups like BTS, BLACKPINK, and TWICE gaining worldwide popularity. It's hard not to get caught up in the infectious beats and stunning music videos. At JINJJA Chicken, we understand the appeal of K-pop, and we wanted to enhance our customers' dining experience by offering a playlist of the latest K-pop hits at our restaurants.

However, our commitment to Korean culture doesn't stop at music. Food is an integral part of Korean culture, and we believe that Korean fried chicken is the perfect representation of that. Korean fried chicken has become a staple of Korean cuisine, with its crispy exterior and juicy meat. It's no wonder that it has been featured in K-dramas, variety shows, and this was evident in one of the episodes of the popular IN THE SOOP with BTS, where Jungkook led the charge in making Yangnyeom sauce, inspiring fans around the world to try Korean fried chicken.

At JINJJA Chicken, we're committed to creating an immersive Korean dining experience. Our restaurants are designed to reflect the vibrant and colorful streets of Korea, with a mix of modern and traditional decor. We're proud to have earned a reputation as one of the best Korean fried chicken restaurants in town, and we owe it all to our commitment to quality and authenticity.

Replicating not just the dishes but also the preparation methods, JINJJA Chicken sources ingredients and recipes from all over Korea and uses only 100% fresh chicken for our signature Korean Fried Chicken Wings. Avoiding as much as possible the excessive use of preservatives, additives and overly processed ingredients, JINJJA Chicken firmly believes that it is possible to serve food that is delicious, fast, affordable and also good for you. We use a double-frying technique that purges excess oil from the chicken, leaving it crispy but never greasy. Our Soy Garlic and YangNyeom sauces are also made in-house, ensuring that our customers get the authentic taste of Korean fried chicken.

We invite you to come and experience the unique blend of K-pop and Korean cuisine at JINJJA Chicken. Order some of our delicious food and let the music transport you to the bustling streets of Seoul. Our playlist is regularly updated with the latest K-pop hits, so you can be sure to hear your favorite songs while enjoying our mouth-watering fried chicken. So what are you waiting for? Come for the food, stay for the vibes, and immerse yourself in the world of K-pop and Korean culture at JINJJA Chicken.

Single on Single’s Day? Jinjja Chicken Brings The Spice To Singlehood

While Valentine’s Day bestows flowers and chocolates for the guys, and March 14th’s White Day reciprocates with chocolates for the women, April 14th is reserved for the single life. Popular in Korea as Black Day, April 14th is celebrated as Single’s Day -- a day for the unattached to celebrate their singlehood with good-natured venting and a lot of comfort food.  

Single Doesn’t Mean Lonely

Comfort food usually involved the jjajangmyeon: a type of Korean noodles in black bean sauce that supposedly showed how black-hearted and bitter single people are. That is completely unfair to both single people and the delicious jjajangmyeon, so much so that for a week in 2016, Jinjja Chicken gave people who declared that they were #singleandhappy on Facebook a free bowl of jjajangmyeon in celebration of Single’s Day. The next year, we made sure that singles felt special with the participation of Doppelganger star Hayley Woo, who enjoyed bowls of jjajangmyeon with us in an invite-only event. In 2018, simply wearing black to any Jinjja Chicken outlet on that April 14th earned diners a free bowl of jjajangmyeon!

Black Day is meant to be a light-hearted celebration of singlehood, whether you’re actively looking for a partner or are enjoying your freedom from commitment. Matchmaking events are also popular around this time. For some, it’s the right time to scout for a potential match: after all, with all the singles out celebrating, it’s easier to meet someone also unattached that you can connect with. As part of our Single’s Day celebrations, we have also launched singles-only events where the happily unattached had the chance to mingle, make new friends and partake in delicious black bean noodles. 

In 2019, we played a prank on solo diners by partnering them with a surprise tablemate. Unsuspecting diners sat on what seemed to be a black cloth-covered cubicle meant for dining alone, but at the press of a button, a curtain unveiled a fellow diner sitting across them! The participants took it good-naturedly and even shared the complimentary plate of hot wings. Hot wings + a new friend? Sounds like a great way to celebrate being single! 

This Single’s Day

Being single in a pandemic is hard, mostly because it’s hard to meet new people when in-person mingling is highly discouraged. Many found solace bingeing on K-dramas, living vicariously through the exciting love teams, heart-rending scenes, and the many gastronomic delights of Korean cuisine. Korean dramas often show food as a way to humanise characters, illustrate their emotions, and even create a connection between the leads. Of course, the by-product is often an audience with an intense craving for Korean food.

But don’t worry: Jinjja Chicken has your back! If you’ve ever found yourself envious of mouthfuls of delicious food from Korean dramas, our menu can satiate that craving. From craving crispy Korean chicken from that scene in Crash Landing On You, or binge-watching It’s Okay Not To Be Okay with your own bowl of Jjampong noodles, Jinjja Chicken can make Single’s Day feel less alone. This year, we’re launching a new dish to make being single even more fun. 

If you’ve ever needed to relieve stress through spicy food, just like how Eun Ho Won and Seo Hyun did in Radiant Office, or want to share in Dan-I and Eun-ho’s romantic indoor date in Romance is A Bonus Book, our special fusion Jjajang Tteokbokki will hit the right spot. These spicy rice cakes doused in our signature black bean sauce can elevate your Single’s Day with the yummy heat of tteokbokki in the style of the traditional jjajangmyeon. After all, who says being single can’t be spicy?

The new Jjajang Tteokbokki dish is available in all five Jinjja Chicken outlets the whole month of April! Dine-in with us and celebrate being #singleandhappy with great, fast and hip Korean food. Check out jinjjachicken.com to learn more.
