The recruitment period is from the 29th of this month to the 11th of next month.

According to the Korea Forest Service on the 28th, the Supporters will participate in a domestic wood product experience program, share reviews after participating in the program, and support the establishment of a user-customized wood utilization platform by proposing policies through the National Design Group.

First, the Supporters will have the opportunity to experience the Hanmok (韓木) brand products provided monthly and participate in the ‘I LOVE WOOD Wood Culture Festival.’ They will also participate as national judges in the Hanmok Design Contest and in the operation of the Korea Forest Service National Design Group.

If applying to produce prototypes of domestic wood products, they can use woodworking mentoring services and specialized wood processing equipment at the Woodworking Creative Sharing Center located in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul.

The Supporters’ activity period is from next month until December. During this period, the Korea Forest Service plans to evaluate the performance of the Supporters in each field and reward outstanding Supporters.

Anyone interested in and passionate about using domestic wood can participate as a Supporter. The Korea Forest Service will select 30 applicants through document screening and announce the final list of selected candidates on the 15th of next month.

Applications are accepted by referring to the announcement on the Korea Forest Service website or the Wood Information Portal, filling out the application form and related documents, and submitting them by mail.

Lim Young-seok, Director of the Wood Industry Division at the Korea Forest Service, said, “We hope that operating the Supporters will help dispel the public misconception that domestic wood is expensive and hard to access.” He added, “Along with operating the Supporters, the Korea Forest Service will listen to various voices from the public through the ‘I LOVE WOOD Campaign’ and the ‘National Design Group’ to reflect them in policies to revitalize the domestic wood industry.”
