Jajangmyeon(noodles with stir-fried bean paste) originated from the later 19th century as a result of the exchange between Chosun and Qing dynasties. It rapidly spread in post-liberation Korea due to an aid policy from the US with their farm surpluses and a government campaign to encourage consumption of the flour-based meals. The following factors were important for jajangmyeon to become one of the major national cuisines in Korea: increase of the Chinese restaurants in Korea; change of the recipe for jajangmyeon; palatability and coherently recognizable taste of jajangmyeon; affordable price; popularization of the eating-out culture and home delivery service; traditional noodle culture in Korea; and similarity of the Korean soybean paste with the black sauce of jajang. The meanings of jajangmyeon in Korean society have much to do with the variables of its consumers, which are age, taste, gender, social psychology, economic capacity, lifestyle, body condition, and residential area. Its cultural meanings in Korean society can be categorized into eight: ① it stirs up nostalgia; ② it’s evolved from a special dish to a regular one; ③ it’s a simple meal; ④ people can enjoy it with those who are close to them; ⑤ the younger they are, the more they like it; ⑥ it’s replaced with jjamppong(Chinese-style hotchpotch cooked chiefly with noodles) when it’s cold or they have a hangover; ⑦ people have conflicts over it between nostalgia and health; and ⑧ the jajangmyeon business is very competitive.
