SEOUL, South Korea, Sept 24 (Korea Bizwire) – Seoul Metro will provide hot soup with rice for those subway passengers who go to work on an empty stomach. As part of a campaign to raise awareness on the importance of good, hearty meal in the morning, Seoul Metro, the company operating Seoul’s subway lines No. 1 to 4, will give away 1,000 cups of hot soup a day for five days between September 23 and 27 at five stations including City Hall (Line No. 1), Samseong (No. 2), Gyeongbok Palace (No. 3), Myeongdong (No. 4), and Jamshil (No. 2).
