Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation announced on August 11 that it will sell the "Gwangbokjeol Bread" at Sung Sim Dang until August 17.
The Gwangbokjeol Bread was jointly developed and launched by Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation and Sung Sim Dang to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day. This bread was created by combining the design planning expertise of Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation with the baking skills of Sung Sim Dang.
This bread is designed with the theme of the "Denny Taegukgi," the oldest surviving Taegukgi, and was planned to allow people to reflect on the meaning of Liberation Day in their daily lives. On Liberation Day, Sung Sim Dang will produce mini Denny Taegukgi flags and distribute them to customers who purchase the Gwangbokjeol Bread.
The Gwangbokjeol Bread has already attracted attention on social media, receiving reviews such as "A meaningful commemorative gift for the 80th anniversary of Liberation," and "A meaningful souvenir that goes beyond dessert."
In particular, the bread is praised for creating special value by combining an appearance that embodies the meaning of Liberation Day with the unique baking skills (taste) of Sung Sim Dang.
The product consists of a box containing four madeleines. The price is 5,000 won (including VAT). Sung Sim Dang will sell the Gwangbokjeol Bread in limited quantities at all locations until August 17.
Inside the packaging box of the Gwangbokjeol Bread, a Denny Taegukgi brochure conveying the meaning of liberation is also included.
The Denny Taegukgi is a national heritage designated as "Treasure No. 2140." When the National Museum of Korea, which possesses the flag, planned and sold related merchandise, it sold out.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Gwangbokjeol Bread will be jointly donated to descendants of independence patriots under the jurisdiction of the Daejeon Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.
