[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Kim Jung-tae, Chairman of Hana Financial Group, participated in a relay campaign to support flower farmers.

Hana Financial announced on the 23rd that Chairman Kim joined the campaign to help flower farmers who are facing great difficulties due to decreased flower consumption caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The relay campaign by public figures aims to support flower farmers struggling as various events and gatherings such as graduation ceremonies, entrance ceremonies, and celebrations have been canceled or scaled down due to COVID-19. Chairman Kim joined the campaign after being nominated by Kim Tae-young, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Banks.

Chairman Kim practiced the relay campaign by gifting flowers to employees at the Hana Financial Myeongdong Building in Jung-gu, Seoul, and encouraging employees to also give flowers to their family and acquaintances.

As part of the 'One Company, One Mountain' initiative, Hana Financial plans to carry out volunteer activities planting flowers along the 'Hana Mountain Trail' located in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, which it manages.

Chairman Kim said, "Flowers bring great joy not only to the recipients but also to the givers," adding, "I hope this campaign becomes a good opportunity to help flower farmers struggling due to COVID-19 and to express gratitude to those we appreciate."

Chairman Kim nominated Park Jung-ho, President of SK Telecom, as the next participant in the campaign.
