Seongdong District Doubles Support for Hanyang University 'One Thousand Won Breakfast' Program

Average Daily Beneficiaries Increased from 150 to 300
Enhanced Quality Inspections to Be Implemented

On March 2, Seongdong District in Seoul, led by Mayor Jung Won-oh, announced that it will double the scale of support for the 'One Thousand Won Breakfast for University Students' program offered to Hanyang University students within the district starting this year.

Seongdong-gu expands support for the "1,000 Won Breakfast" program targeting Hanyang University students. In June of last year, Jung Woonoh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, visited Hanyang University to experience the "1,000 Won Breakfast" program. Provided by Seongdong-gu.

The 'One Thousand Won Breakfast' initiative provides breakfast for 1,000 won per meal with the goal of lowering breakfast skipping rates among university students, promoting the consumption of domestically produced rice, and encouraging healthy eating habits. The program is funded jointly by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seongdong District, and the university.

Reflecting the positive results of the program at Hanyang University and the high level of student satisfaction last year, Seongdong District has increased the average daily number of beneficiaries from 150 to 300 this year. The One Thousand Won Breakfast at Hanyang University has received enthusiastic responses from students, often selling out during exam periods, and was recognized with an award from the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs last year for its outstanding operation.

Along with the expanded support, the management system will also be strengthened. In February, the district organized an inspection team to directly check the quality of the breakfast, compliance with operating hours, and the appropriateness of subsidy execution on site. The goal is to enhance both the transparency and the efficiency of the program.

Mayor Jung Won-oh stated, "We have expanded support so that young people can have a nourishing breakfast to sustain them throughout the day," adding, "We will continue to ensure that this program provides real help to students, not only by offering support but also through ongoing inspections and management."
