To celebrate the beginning of the second semester of the 2026 academic year, Seoul National University of Seoul held the event “Delicious Start to the Semester~ A Special Day with Chef Kyungrae Yeo” on September 9 during lunchtime at the student cafeteria on the first floor of the Student Union building.
This event was organized to provide students with a unique enjoyment as they start the new semester, and to encourage those feeling fatigued by their studies and job preparation. To relieve some of the financial burdens brought on by high inflation, while allowing students to experience high-quality dining, a celebrity chef was invited as part of the student welfare program.
On that day, renowned chef Kyungrae Yeo presented “Palbochae Rice Bowl,” a dish he specially developed for students. This menu features a rich blend of eight ingredients enhanced with XO sauce, designed to deliver both taste and quality, even within the group dining environment of a cafeteria.
Chef Yeo directly participated in the cooking and serving of the menu at the student cafeteria. Students had the special opportunity to enjoy cuisine from a chef they had seen on television and in media, taste his dishes right on campus, take photos together, and make lasting memories at the start of the semester.
Seoul National University of Seoul plans to use this event as a starting point to promote greater use of the student cafeteria, transforming it from a simple dining space into a student welfare hub where all university members can enjoy and interact.
