[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] CJ Foodville announced on the 2nd that it donated congratulatory bread to celebrate the 100th day since the birth of quintuplets born on November 18th last year.

On November 18th last year, Captain Jinsu Kim and Captain Hyejeong Seo, a military officer couple belonging to the 17th Army Division, gave birth to quintuplets, the first in Korea in 34 years and a rare case worldwide. To mark the 100th day since the quintuplets were born, CJ Foodville delivered 9,000 Tous Les Jours breads to the 17th Army Division on March 2nd as a congratulatory gesture.

The congratulatory breads were prepared in various types, including Baeksulgi, a rice cake wishing for longevity, and Tous Les Jours’ “Ssuk-i Deumpok Mammoth” and “Yeonyu Kongtteok Bread,” which resemble Susu Patddeok, a rice cake made of sorghum and red beans that wards off misfortune and prays for health and longevity. Reflecting the traditional Korean custom that the more people eat the 100-day rice cake, the more blessings increase, the congratulatory breads were shared with the soldiers of the 17th Army Division to celebrate the birth of the quintuplets together.

Captain Jinsu Kim, the father of the quintuplets, said, “Thanks to the overwhelming interest and support, our five children were able to reach their 100th day healthily.” Captain Hyejeong Seo, the mother, said, “We are grateful to CJ Foodville for personally delivering Tous Les Jours cakes on the day of birth and Christmas to celebrate, and for preparing a meaningful time to commemorate the 100th day with the unit members.”

CJ Foodville plans to gift Tous Les Jours cakes and Foodville dining vouchers that the whole family can enjoy at VIPS every year on the quintuplets’ birthdays until they start school.
