Talk:Chimaek

Translations
The article states that "the word mcju means beer in Korean". Mcju is Konglish; the Korean is 맥주 or maekju. —  AjaxSmack  04:37, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

AjaxSmack is correct. As you can tell by my IP address, I am currently in Korea. No one here spells it "mcju" and, consequently, no one spells it Chi-Mc. Here is a link to a CNN article using the proper chimaek spelling: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.150.213.205 (talk) 04:39, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

As an update to my earlier post, the second reference uses the "chimek" spelling, which is the slightly older transliteration that dropped the a (but is still far from "chi-mc"): And the fourth and fifth references cited use the current "chimaek" spelling in their headline translations. I updated the contents of the page to reflect this, but don't know how to update a page title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.150.213.205 (talk) 04:48, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Mid importance
Set it to mid importance for Wikiprojects. Think this concept (specifically the Korean one) has significant international and domestic importance. To my knowledge there are more Korean chicken shops in South Korea than McDonalds in the world. After convenience stores and Korean food, they're the most popular type of franchise business in South Korea. They're also becoming popular abroad, with significant adoption in urban areas in the US and China to my knowledge. toobigtokale (talk) 06:10, 22 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Toobigtokale But chicken shops are more relevant to Yangnyeom chicken then to Chimaek, I think? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:48, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yangnyeom chicken can be eaten as the chicken in chimaek. I think yangnyeom chicken can also be made mid importance, but probably not for other wikiprojects like food and drink. toobigtokale (talk) 09:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
