Chosun University to Continue '1000 Won Breakfast' Program in Second Semester

Chosun University will continue its ‘Dundunhan-kki Breakfast’ project in the second semester, providing students with breakfast lunchboxes for 1,000 won, following the first semester.

This ongoing project is expected to help increase rice consumption, improve students' eating habits, and enhance their health.

The ‘Dundunhan-kki Breakfast’ project, initiated due to concerns over students’ irregular meals, nutritional imbalance, and resulting declines in health and academic performance, offers lunchboxes worth about 5,000 won. External organizations contribute 2,000 won and Chosun University’s own budget covers another 2,000 won, allowing students to pay only 1,000 won for breakfast.

The project, which operated from April 25 to June 19, received great responses from students.

The second semester operation period is from September 4 to December 20 (8:30 AM to 11:00 AM), running four times a week from Monday to Thursday (Monday to Friday during midterm and final exam periods).

Lunchboxes will be provided to a total of 9,920 enrolled students over 62 days at eight COOPSKET locations on campus, including the Central Library, College of Engineering, College of Business Administration, Main Building, and College of Social Sciences.

This semester features an increase in the number of participating organizations and support scale, resulting in an expanded number of lunchboxes.

In the first semester, four organizations participated: Korea Rural Community Corporation, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Rural Development Administration, and Korea Creative Content Agency.

This time, on the 29th, agreements were signed with eight organizations including Korea Rural Community Corporation, Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Institute of Planning and Evaluation for Technology in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Korea Expressway Corporation, Korea Airports Corporation, Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, Sh Suhyup Bank, and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service to jointly operate the project.

The number and variety of lunchboxes have also increased. In the first semester, 160 lunchboxes per day totaling 4,800 were provided, but this time 9,920 lunchboxes?more than double?have been prepared. The menu has expanded from two to four types, allowing for more diverse options.

Emart24 will provide bottled water free of charge, as in the first semester.

Vice President Park Hyun-joo said, “When we first started the project last semester, we worried a lot about whether it would run well and how it could help students. Fortunately, we are glad to continue it in the second semester. We especially appreciate the cooperation of various organizations and hope it will contribute to improving students’ academic performance and increasing rice consumption.”
