The other day my Korean coworkers were talking about the slogans and poking fun at them.

Koreans find them equally ridiculous.


Agreed. Just like how many people "back home" ignore or roll their eyes at goofy city slogans there too.

"Give us your life and we'll steal your soul!" That ought to be one to work for a large company. Ha ha.

I was pretty happy with Daejeon's slogan "It's Daejeon" because I was told it meant "IT, technology and Science", since Daejeon wants to be considered a science city. However, after looking up the meaning on their webpage, I changed my mind:
Quote:
'It's Daejeon' is an exclamatory expression, meaning 'Daejeon is the best place to live.
'It�s' is derived from the initial letters of interesting, tradition, culture, science and technology, symbolizing the center of cutting-edge technology.

The best place to live... The word "interesting" without any context...
