Ryu Hyun-jin’s bread gift is causing a butterfly effect. This is because Seongsimdang is enjoying an unexpected publicity effect thanks to the image of LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who received the gift, picking up the bread and giving it a thumbs up on the spot.
On the 22nd, the official Instagram account story of Seongsimdang, a famous bakery in Daejeon, shared videos and captured photos of Director Roberts’ ‘mukbang’.
The post contained phrases such as ‘Coach Roberts’ Major League reaction after tasting Seongsimdang’ and ‘Coach Roberts’ Seongsimdang Twisoguma mukbang’. These were all first posted by netizens unrelated to Seongsimdang, and there are many posts like this related to Director Roberts’ mukbang online.

Coach Roberts’ ‘Mukbang’ was held ahead of the opening game of the Major League Baseball (MLB) Seoul Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 20th.
At that time, Ryu Hyun-jin visited the dugout of his MLB team, the Dodgers. Ryu Hyun-jin, who reunited with his old teacher, Coach Roberts, hugged him and gave him Seongsimdang bread as a gift.
As Director Roberts raised the bread toward the reporters, Ryu Hyun-jin asked, “Can I take out this (trademark)?” When the people around him joked, “It doesn’t matter,” or “Get the coupon from Seongsimdang,” Ryu Hyun-jin laughed and said, “Is that okay?”
Director Roberts, who received the gift, tasted Fried Soboro and Fried Guma, which are popular menu items at Seongsimdang, one by one. Coach Roberts exclaimed “Wow” and then gave his thumbs up. Ryu Hyun-jin, who saw this, said, “Is this enough to advertise?”
Afterwards, Director Roberts took a commemorative photo with Ryu Hyun-jin with his face covered in fried food.
Director Roberts’ mukbang became a hot topic online. Netizens responded with comments such as “MLB coach’s free advertisement,” “Will Seongsimdang expand to the United States?” “If this happens, it will become more difficult to buy bread, which is a big problem.” “Because of coaches Ryu Hyun-jin and Roberts, there are more people, so I can’t go to Seongsimdang anymore.”

Ryu Hyun-jin, who entered the MLB stage in 2013, played for the LA Dodgers until 2019. He worked together with Director Roberts for four years since 2016. Ryu Hyun-jin returned to his home team, the Hanwha Eagles, based in Daejeon, after 11 seasons in MLB earlier this year.
Coach Roberts, who visited Korea for the Seoul Series, has consistently mentioned Ryu Hyun-jin in press conferences and interviews.
On the 17th, “Ryu Hyun-jin was a great pitcher, a good colleague, and a fun friend,” and “I haven’t contacted him yet, but I really want to meet him.” He said, “If you see this article, please contact me,” and on the 19th, when he heard that “Ryu Hyun-jin does not know the director’s contact information,” he listed specific numbers and said, “Then I will have to give Ryu Hyun-jin my phone number.”
At a press conference held ahead of Game 2 of the Seoul Series on the 21st, Ryu Hyun-jin was said to be “a very great player.” Among the many players I saw, he was calm and ready to play. “Anyone who has spent time with Ryu Hyun-jin will know how humorous he is and how much he enjoys joking,” he said. “The bread was also really delicious.”
