Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, Joins 'Relay Campaign to Support Flower Farmers'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 22nd that President Song Jong-wook participated in the ‘Floriculture Farmers Support Relay Campaign’ to help floriculture farmers struggling due to the spread of ‘COVID-19’.

The ‘Floriculture Farmers Support Relay Campaign’ is conducted by taking photos holding bouquets, flowerpots, etc., uploading them on social networking services (SNS), and nominating the next participant.

The campaign, started by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to help floriculture farmers facing difficulties due to ‘COVID-19,’ is expanding to public institutions, financial sectors, and industries.

President Song Jong-wook joined this relay campaign upon the recommendation of Min Young-don, President of Chosun University, and nominated So Young-min, Commander of the 31st Territorial Infantry Division, as the next participant.

To support floriculture farmers who have suffered due to cancellations or reductions of various events and gatherings such as graduation ceremonies, entrance ceremonies, and celebrations, President Song Jong-wook independently held the ‘Happy Spring on the Way to Work’ event for Gwangju Bank employees, personally gifting flowerpots to staff dedicated to their duties, including financial support related to ‘COVID-19’.

President Song Jong-wook said, “These days, as our bodies and minds grow weary without fully enjoying spring due to social distancing, I hope we can take a moment to narrow the emotional distance between each other by giving flowers as gifts. I also hope that many companies and institutions will actively participate in this campaign, following Gwangju Bank’s warm-hearted example, so that helping hands continue to reach floriculture farmers struggling due to ‘COVID-19.’”
