[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gui-yeol] On the 10th, Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, held an event to distribute “CSAT Success Prayer Glutinous Rice Bread” made from domestic rice (glutinous rice) to high school seniors in the area ahead of the College Scholastic Ability Test.

The Yeongyang-gun Our Food Research Association is a local women’s learning group fostered by the county Agricultural Technology Center, dedicated to researching and developing local traditional foods and regionally specialized dishes using various agricultural products from the Yeongyang area and promoting them widely.

Ahead of this year’s CSAT, the event was held to encourage high school seniors and to raise awareness of the excellence of domestic rice, especially glutinous rice, the main ingredient of the glutinous rice bread.

Currently, there are 83 high school seniors in three high schools in the county: Yeongyang High School, Yeongyang Girls’ High School, and Subi High School. To appeal to the students, instead of glutinous rice cakes, two types of glutinous rice bread?cheese glutinous rice bread and chocolate glutinous rice bread?were freshly made, packaged, and distributed to the seniors.

One student who received the CSAT glutinous rice bread expressed gratitude, saying it would be a great encouragement and support ahead of the exam.

Lee Ok-yong, president of the Yeongyang-gun Our Food Research Association, conveyed a message of support, saying, “In these difficult times due to COVID-19, we made the glutinous rice bread with the hope that the efforts of the students who prepared for the CSAT with their best will yield good results. I hope our examinees will eat this hearty and chewy glutinous rice bread made from domestic rice and stay strong until the end to do well on the exam.”
