A total of 500 young adults aged 19-34 participated in the study through anonline survey. Participants responded to questions on general characteristics, dietary problems, and the need for dietaryeducation and programs. The subjects were divided into three groups as follows: Undergraduate students, employedworkers, and others. Among the subjects from single-person households, 20.2, 67, and 12.8% were undergraduatestudents, employed workers, and others, respectively. When asked for their estimation of an appropriate self-pay whenparticipating in a cooking class, 39.8% of total subjects responded ‘5,000-10,000 won’. The most preferred program foryoung adults in single-person households was the ‘support food package’. For the preferred method of dietary education,undergraduate students showed a greater preference for classes ‘at campuses’. However, employed workers and others hada higher preference for ‘non-face-to-face online classes’.
