Representing Konstantino, Congratulations for your featuredness!
According to the D. S. P. (Dogao Score Pontuation) Seoul is getting a New York City Hot Dog! (Dead region)

B.H.D. Classifications

D. S. P.

This Region Sucks

It's a TERRIBLE region, like hate groups, fascists, homophobics, etc. Or the region doesn't like hot dogs.

NYC Hot Dog

It's a dead region. Why is it a NYC Hot Dog? Because it's dry, dull and overrated. Or it's a location one.

Potato Included

Kinda dead, 2nd featuredness or it's a pretty new region.

Mayo Included

Big or famous region, I personally like it a bit or is kinda active or 3rd time on feature

Double Sausage

I like the region, active one.

Complete Brazilian Hot Dog

I really like the region, a very active one, a Brazilian or Brazilian locate one.

Special Sauce

It's a special date (e.g. holidays, my birthday, etc.)

Note: don't take those classifications seriously

Special thanks to The Featured Region Express and Bite My Biscuits for the inspiration!

On Behalf of Rhino Hypolan,
Happy Valentine's Day and Welcome To The Featured Zone!

As Biscuit Famous Greg Heffley Sets Up a Biscuit Stall for Seoul, He Hands a Biscuit Signature To The Region Owner For That Stall Within The Famous Quote.

Rating Name

Info

The Biscuit Dumpster

The region is THE WORST out of all of the regions hoping it ceases to exist or gets raided (Is Racist, Homophobic, Fascist, Hate Groups, Offensive Images, etc.). You get 0% chance of seeing the quote at the end of the message being replaced by nothing but dissatisfaction.

Small Signature

The region just gets a small signature. This region is not featured in my profile (Dead Region, or I Do Not Like The Region {Partially}). You still get a biscuit famous quote at the end of the message however, it's basic.

Photo Opportunity

The region gets a signature and a photo opp. This region is featured on my profile (Active on embassies, Dead Region with an Interesting Trait, Semi-Dead Region, etc.). The Biscuit Famous quote is the same as "Small Signature."

Trending Figure

The region is the Trending Figure of regions, and looks good. It has description on why on my profile (Active region / Active RMB, Cool Region, Interesting Traits on an Embassy Region, etc.). The Biscuit Famous quote at the end of the message gets upgraded to Bold Text.

Biscuit Golden Award

The region is VERY RARE and awesome, never thought I visit that region THIS cool... You get a gold award for this! (Has a High Population such as Artificial Solar System, TFRE Rated This Region First Class Rating, Being One of My Favorite Regions, etc.). The Biscuit Famous quote at the end of the message is not just Bold text, it is decorated too!

BISCUIT FAMOUS AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

Out of all the activity on NS, I never thought that THIS REGION had the most impressive move where it deserves a 1/1000000 achievement, and the region is IMPRESSIVE deserving this rating with a Ridiculously Rare Encounter... GG's Buddy You Deserve This Award of Excellence Showing True Fame... (One of the Most Popular Regions In NS, Ridiculously Rare Trait on a Region Such as Being Featured <7 Days After Founding, Being Featured Twice in <4 Weeks, Has a Special Trait In That Region, Etc.). The Biscuit Famous quote at the end of the message is the best one yet and it is uniquely decorated!

Event Signature

The region has a signature during a special event that is currently happening (N-Day, Z-Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.). Sometimes the Biscuit Famous quote at the end of the message gets modified to fit the event.

A train approaches Seoul station. As the train stops, someone waits at the door, with a First class ticket. The ticket inspector, Ferrocarriles Argentinos, checks his ticket.
Ferrocarriles Argentinos: You know first class hasn't been the highest class for quite some time now?
Passenger: Yeah. Just wanted to have AC, since tourist class doesn't have it.
Ferrocarriles Argentinos: right...
Everything is correct. The person boards the train, and it departs.
