<Anchor> In
times like these days, when prices are rising, there are alumni restaurants that only take 1,000 won per meal.
The more it runs, the less it runs, but it has been doing good deeds for 12 years already, worrying about the food of its neighbors. Reporter Baek Woon visited this restaurant.

A four-table baekban restaurant located in Daein Market, Dong-gu, Gwangju.
The price is 1,000 won.
[The elderly living alone are convenient, but it is not convenient.]
After the late Kim Seon-ja opened the door to take care of the meals for her seniors in 2010, her daughter Kim Yun-kyung has been her mother's since 2015. We follow the will and operate.
The price of 1,000 won, which has been kept for 12 years, contains the inner meaning of eating without feeling sorry even if it is bad.

[Kim Yun-kyung / Restaurant President: On the street, the old women at the stalls come and eat, and then they don't want to come, because I'm sorry.
Then you put in 1,000 won and eat it, and then you can come and eat it without any burden.]
To keep the price of 1,000 won, Mr. Kim is running the insurance business with money, but it was not easy to maintain the store at first.
[Kim Yun-kyung / Restaurant President: Even my money went into a deficit, but after 3 years (the first), there is nothing more to go out of my house.
Except for my deposit and everything in the room.]
Nevertheless, the restaurant is maintained thanks to the supporters who send rice, side dishes, and fruits from time to time.
[Kim Yun -kyung
/ Restaurant President: If you do this alone, it won't work, but many people still help out even a little bit at 10 o'clock, so this works.]
I promised to keep it till the end.
[Kim Yun-kyung / restaurant president: If you don't have 1,000 won, you don't need our house.
I hope you can come and enjoy your meal at any time.]
