1,000 Won Breakfast, which first started last September, continues to receive enthusiastic participation from about 200 students.

First introduced in 2021, the project is hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and operated by the Korea Agency of Education, Promotion & Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries. The project aims to provide a balanced breakfast to students, so they will form good eating habits and enjoy better health.

In particular, starting from the fall semester, the food-distribution format has changed from a lunchbox-type of meal to a self-serving of “1 rice, 1 soup, and 4 dishes”, ensuring better health among students and promoting a habit of having breakfast. This changed format allows them to enjoy more abundant and warm food on the spot. The 1,000 Won Breakfast event is slated to take place until November 30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Cafe Mensa on the first floor of the renovated Kim Sou-hwan Hall.
