[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A local company, Daeseon Brewery, which generously donated 7 tons of alcohol essential for COVID-19 prevention, is receiving gifts of appreciation from the community.

On the 21st, Jo Woo-hyun, CEO of Daeseon Brewery, received a plaque of appreciation from Lee Seong-moon, mayor of Yeonje District Office in Busan, for his contribution to COVID-19 prevention efforts.

Following a letter of appreciation from the Busan Nambu Police Station chief in April and a plaque of appreciation from the Busan Nam-gu Office earlier this month, this marks the third time a head of a local public institution has presented a token of gratitude to the head of a private company.

In March, when COVID-19 was rapidly spreading, Daeseon Brewery donated a total of 7 tons of diluted alcohol made from distilled spirits used for liquor production to Yeonje District Office. Thanks to this, Yeonje District was able to focus on local prevention activities without the hassle of searching for disinfection supplies. This is a token of their gratitude.

Yeonje District distributed this ‘warm’ alcohol free of charge to residents, traditional market merchants, and businesses. Disinfection and prevention of multi-use facilities were also carried out smoothly.

Employees of Daeseon Brewery did not stop their helping hands with just the alcohol donation. Instead of conducting face-to-face promotional activities by going around alleys saying ‘We have an event,’ they fully suspended such events and took on the role of ‘warriors’ for COVID-19 prevention by disinfecting 19 apartment complexes in Geoje 1-dong, Yeonje District.

Jo Woo-hyun, CEO of Daeseon Brewery, said, “I am glad that the donated alcohol raw materials have greatly supported local prevention activities. If there is a region that needs help, we will actively step forward as a local company.”
