Jjajangbap is a Korean-Chinese dish. Fried rice with a side of jjajang sauce, served with a bowl of soup (usually jjambbong broth). Exactly the same thing as bokkeumbap: fried rice with a side of jjajang sauce, served with a bowl of soup (usually jjambbong broth) (see below). One is entirely redundant to the other.
The only difference here is that bokkeumbap is topped with scrambled eggs, while jjajangbap comes with a fried egg, though the distinction is arbitrary and could go either way.
