An acquaintance is coming to Daejeon, the ‘city of no fun’? Stop by Seongsimdang and send it home!
It is a self-mocking meme that there is nothing special to do or see in Daejeon, so when acquaintances visit, no matter what they do, they end up taking them to Seongsimdang, a bakery that is local to Daejeon and famous nationwide. About 7 years ago, a ‘Daejeon native’ wrote something like this online and it garnered sympathy from many netizens, and it was later widely used under the name ‘Giseungjeon Sacred Heart Party’. Recently, Seongsimdang once once more attracted attention by finding the original creator of the meme and appointing him as an ‘honorary Seongsimdang member’.
On the 21st, Seongsimdang posted a photo taken with Mr. A, the original author of the ‘Giseungjeon Seongsimdang’ meme, on its official Instagram account and said, “I finally met the original author of the Giseungjeon Seongsimdang algorithm that was circulated in online communities in 2017.” “We appointed the original author as an ‘honorary Seongsimdang member’ to express our gratitude for the publicity effect of Seongsimdang brought regarding by your algorithm.”
It is reported that Seongsimdang presented Mr. A with a prize worth 1 million won and a Seongsimdang doll as a show of gratitude.
Giseungjeon Seongsimdang said, ‘An acquaintance is coming to Daejeon, the city of no fun! It’s a graphic titled ‘Maybe It’s Okay’, and it states that no matter what choice you make, the final result is ‘Send an acquaintance home following stopping by Seongsimdang.’ It attracted attention as it was evaluated as a witty depiction of Seongsimdang, which is considered a representative landmark of Daejeon.

Seongsimdang began looking for the protagonist of this Seongsimdang meme on the 30th of last month. At the time, Seongsimdang wrote on Instagram, “We are looking for the original author of Seongsimdang,” and “Two years before the 70th anniversary of Seongsimdang, we are looking for this honorary public relations ambassador.” Seongsimdang also said, “We will give a very generous gift prepared by Seongsimdang to the original author, and a Seongsimdang gift certificate to the informant who provided crucial help in finding the original author.”
The original author, Mr. A, who met with Seongsimdang this time, shared his thoughts through X (old Twitter).
Mr. A said, “In the past, I took the preliminary entrance exam at an art academy in front of Seongsimdang, and at that time, Seongsimdang allowed me to eat a sample meal like it was dinner.” He continued, “When I went to Seongsimdang during a university exhibition and said, ‘I am going to exhibit bread paintings and asked for a cake box, I received a box. “I remember taking care of different types of things,” he said. “I am happy to be able to return the consideration,” he said. “Thanks to the consideration and bread you gave me, I grew up to be an adult worthy of respect. “Thank you,” he said.
