A Thousand Won Dinner: The Warmth of Kookmin University Within

- 25.10.23 / 전윤실
Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) held its ‘ Thousand Won Dinner’ event from Wednesday, October 15 to Tuesday, October 21 as part of the ‘KMU PRIDE WEEK’ celebrations marking its 79th anniversary. The event supported students preparing for midterm exams, with approximately 500 students participating.
The Student Support Team of the Student Affairs Office and the Student Cooperative provided the popular student menu item ‘Suyuk Gukbap’ (boiled pork soup with rice) for 1,000 won to the first 100 students each day. Long lines formed every evening at the student cafeteria, and the faces of students receiving a warm bowl of soup lit up with bright smiles, replacing the fatigue from exam preparation.
Lee Si Won (Political Science & International Relations, Class of 2021), who participated in the event, shared, “It was great to have a hearty meal at a low price during midterm exams,” adding, “I could feel the school's care and support for students.”
Kim Cheol Soon, President of the Student Council who planned the event, stated, “The midterm exam period is when students are most prone to exhaustion. We planned this event hoping the 1,000 won dinner, prepared jointly by the university and the student council, would be helpful.” He added, “We will continue to communicate with students to build a better campus culture.”
President Jeong Seung Ryul stated, “KMU PRIDE WEEK, held during Founding Day week, is a time to reflect on KMU's traditions and community spirit,” adding, “We will continue to implement diverse programs to enhance students' happiness index so they can focus fully on their studies.”
Following the ‘Thousand Won Breakfast’ program launched in 2023, this ‘Thousand Won Dinner’ event has established itself as more than just a single meal; it symbolizes ‘KMU PRIDE’ – a sense of pride in Kookmin University – created together by the school community.
