Korean fried chicken emerged during the Korean War when African-American soldiers, who had a fondness for deep-fried chicken as a soul food staple, introduced it to South Korea. Over the years, recipes evolved and gained popularity. However, it was during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, when unemployment was high, that many jobless people turned to creating their own fried chicken joints as a means of making a living.
