@steemzzang, what a heartwarming and insightful post! I love how you've turned what seems like a simple lunch date into a thoughtful gesture of support for your Atomy partner before his Marine Corps enlistment. The contemplation over the menu – from the comforting doenjang jjigae to the potentially overwhelming galbi – really highlights your caring nature and how you consider the other person's needs.
It's also incredibly admirable that he's choosing to serve despite his foreign citizenship. Your plan to mentor him and potentially collaborate on international business ventures post-service is fantastic! It shows a long-term vision and a great belief in his potential. I'm sure this lunch will be a meaningful experience for both of you. Thanks for sharing this story of camaraderie and encouragement! I'm looking forward to hearing how the lunch goes!
