The event was held at the entrance of the Jeonnam Dragons Club House in Kumho-dong, Gwangyang, on the 26th. It was designed to spread the national breakfast culture and promote rice consumption through the good influence of sports. It was organized by the Jeonnam Agricultural Cooperative Grain Material Group and Donggwangyang Agricultural Cooperative served as a bridge between the agricultural cooperative and the club.
The event was attended by Kim Kyu-hong, CEO of Jeollanam-do, Kim Hyun-seok, head of Jeollanam-do Agricultural Cooperative Federation, Lee Kwang-il, head of Jeonnam Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and Lee Don-sung, head of Donggwangyang Agricultural Cooperative Federation.
At the event site, breakfast snacks for 200 people, including nutritional rice sand and sikhye, were prepared. Delivery of convenience meals began at 7:30 a.m. for young players going to school, and at 8:30 a.m., professional players received the convenience meal with hot encouragement and support from Nonghyup executives and employees. The players had a healthy breakfast with salad and fruits prepared in the restaurant along with convenience meals.
The two organizations then moved to Gwangyang Football Stadium and held a delivery ceremony for 'Pilseung Rice'. Pilseung rice, prepared by the Jeonnam Agricultural Cooperative Federation, is 500kg of high-quality rice grown and cultivated in Jeollanam-do, which is meant to pray for Jeollanam-do's victory.
Kim Kyu-hong, CEO of South Jeolla Province, said "A healthy breakfast with Nonghyup's sincerity will be a great help to the players. In line with the support from Nonghyup, we will try to achieve good results at the end of the year," he said, expressing his appreciation.

Lee Don-seong, head of the Donggwangyang Agricultural Cooperative Federation, said, `When Nonghyup and sports come together, it will have a greater impact,' and added, `We hope this campaign will serve as an opportunity to promote rice consumption and spread agricultural values.'
