As more students than expected visit the restaurant, there is a possibility that the business will end early in the second half of the year.
This is because 55.7% of this year’s support to Gangwon-do has already been used up.
As a result of our newspaper’s coverage on the 25th, in the case of the 1,000 won breakfast business,
As of the end of May, 156,000 people (55.7%) of the 280,000 meals prepared by Gangwon Province had been used up.
The problem is that it is so popular among students that project funds are being used up faster than expected.
This year, the local government decided to provide a total of 280,000 meals to each university.
Of these, 156,000 people (55.7%) have already been used up from March to May.
Kangwon National University (Chuncheon) initially predicted that an average of 400 people would use it per day, but
In fact, an average of 430 people visited per day. The cumulative number of meals in the first semester amounts to 32,288 meals.
Universities in the province are unable to prepare budget immediately thanks to support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and local governments.
They are worried that there will be no burden or that the government will not continue the project.
An official from a university in the province said, “If the budget is exceeded, the local government will find it difficult to provide additional budget.”
Regarding this, a provincial official said, “It seems difficult to provide additional support beyond this year’s allocated budget right now.”
