What Does This Mean?
Korean internet term for an old post that later proves right, such as a prediction or a guess that comes true, so that users return to it to comment. The related phrase 성지순례 refers to the act of visiting such a post and writing comments of amazement or wishes.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Years after a user guessed the release date in a forum thread, fans reposted it as a "성지글.""
LORE & ORIGIN
성지 (holy place) is borrowed from religious pilgrimage language and applied jokingly to a post whose prediction came true. Korean Wikipedia describes the internet sense of 성지 순례 as posts in which netizens predict or infer the future and, when the content is proven right, the post is treated as a place of pilgrimage, with admiring comments and wishes left by visitors. The page does not use the form 성지글 or give a date of first use, so the exact origin of this compound is not documented in the sources found. It is related to the existing entries 성지순례 and 성지순례 왔습니다.
