SEOUL, March 16 (Korea Bizwire) — A number of universities are offering breakfast at an affordable price as consumer prices continue to rise.
Kyung Hee University has been selling breakfasts for 1,000 won (US$0.76) to 100 people on a first-come, first-serve basis, since Monday.
Seoul National University, Korea University, Sungkyunkwan University and Kangwon National University plan to follow suit.
Universities are selling breakfasts for a cheap price thanks to support from the state-run Korea Agency of Education, Promotion & Information in Food, Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries, which has been covering some of the food costs.
Mokpo National University, too, introduced a 1,000-won breakfast buffet for all students and faculty at the start of the new semester.
