Kyungpook National University to Offer '2000-Won Dinner' During Second Semester Midterms... University to Subsidize 4000 Won

Kyungpook National University announced on the 9th that it will operate the "1,000-Won Breakfast" program for the second semester of the 2024 academic year from July 2 to December 20.

Since the second semester of 2021, Kyungpook National University has been implementing the "1,000-Won Breakfast" program with support from the government and Daegu City. In just the first semester of this year, 17,863 people used the program. On a daily average, 226 students had breakfast each day.

Hong Wonhwa, president of Kyungpook National University, and Lee Cheonghun, head of the Daegu branch of NongHyup Central Association (left), are distributing Sikhye and rice crackers prepared by NongHyup to students having breakfast on the 9th.

Resuming with the start of the second semester, the "1,000-Won Breakfast" will be available at the Cheomseong Cafeteria on the first floor of the Welfare Center at Kyungpook National University until the start of the winter break. The menu mainly consists of Korean-style meals that are simple yet nutritionally balanced.

The rice served this second semester is made with high-quality "Goryeong Okmi" rice, supported by the Daegu branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. The savings from the rice purchase, thanks to Nonghyup's support, will be used to improve meal quality. Kyungpook National University plans to organize a monitoring team led by the student council to assess student satisfaction and reflect any suggestions for improvement.

Additionally, during the midterm exam period of the second semester, the university will operate the "2,000-Won Dinner" program for eight days at the Information Center Cafeteria. The meal price is set at 5,500 to 6,000 won, with students paying 2,000 won and the university covering the remaining cost.

Hong Wonhwa, President of Kyungpook National University, who visited the cafeteria on the 9th to inspect the site and share the "1,000-Won Breakfast" with students, said, "I hope our students can start their day healthy and strong with breakfast made from our local rice. We will continue to gather students' feedback regularly and strive to provide a breakfast that truly satisfies them."
