From Galbi-jjim sweetened with pear instead of sugar to instant Jajangmyeon, a magnificent feast for table tennis players

A special meal was prepared by Lim Tae-hoon and Yoon Na-ra for the table tennis students of Cheongyang. According to the video released by TV CHOSUN MUSIC, this meal consisted of a diverse menu including Galbi-jjim, Menbosha, and Jajangmyeon to capture the appetites of the table tennis students exhausted from training.

Sweetness from pear instead of sugar, heartfelt Galbi-jjim and Menbosha

The main menu of the meal was Galbi-jjim. It is characterized by using pear to create a natural sweetness instead of using white sugar during the cooking process. The Galbi-jjim, which enhanced the flavor by adding Cheongyang chili peppers, received a great response from the students. The popularity was so high that the Galbi-jjim ran low, and students even requested refills.

The Menbosha served alongside also drew attention. The Menbosha, made from minced shrimp, was provided to the students accompanied by a special sauce. On-site, reactions continued that the taste of the Menbosha sauce was excellent, and the efforts of those who prepared the menu were conveyed to the students throughout their mealtime.

Instant Jajangmyeon to melt away training fatigue and sweet melon dessert

For the students who filled their stomachs with Galbi-jjim and Menbosha, freshly cooked Jajangmyeon followed. The Jajangmyeon, which must be eaten before the noodles get soggy, was cooked and served directly on-site, stimulating the students' appetite with its visual presentation topped with an egg. As there were many people eating, an additional serving process followed for students who could not receive Jajangmyeon, showing generous hospitality.

The meal was finished off with a prepared melon dessert. By serving high-sugar melon as dessert, the meal concluded sweetly. Those who prepared the menu expressed that they felt great reward seeing the students eating the prepared food deliciously.

Stories of aspiring table tennis players and the continuing musical journey

During the meal, sincere stories from the Cheongyang table tennis students were also exchanged. These students, whose skills are so outstanding that 4 out of the 10 national team candidates in the country are from this school, revealed their passion for table tennis. In particular, the story of the coach who settled in Cheongyang 30 years ago to nurture disciples and conversations about the students' dreams added depth to the meal.

The students, who are walking the path as table tennis players, also occasionally revealed their hearts that once dreamed of becoming singers. This meal went beyond simply sharing food and was filled with time to communicate and encourage the local dreamers through music. The meal concluded with a preview of the upcoming evening performance.
