Dongwha Yakpum Donates All Sales Proceeds from Hwalmyungsoo's 122nd Anniversary

[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Dongwha Pharm announced on the 18th that it donated all the sales proceeds from the 122nd anniversary edition of Hwalmyungsu, released last year, to the Korean Red Cross.

The donation will be used as part of Dongwha Pharm's "Water that Saves Lives" campaign to provide safe drinking water and sanitary environments to countries suffering from water shortages worldwide. Following last year, support will continue for the "Water and Sanitation Project in the Dailekh region of Nepal" this year. The funds will be used for expanding drinking water supply facilities, constructing sanitation facilities, and conducting health and hygiene education activities for local residents to ensure continuous hygiene and facility management.

Kim Heung-kwon, Chairman of the Seoul branch of the Korean Red Cross, stated, "The Dailekh region in Nepal is an area where many people suffer from waterborne diseases," adding, "We are pleased to be able to supply clean water and support healthy lives for the local community together with Hwalmyungsu."

Kim Dae-hyun, Executive Director of Dongwha Pharm, said, "In a time of unprecedented global crisis due to infectious diseases, we find it meaningful to convey the value and spirit of Hwalmyungsu to many people in partnership with the Korean Red Cross," and added, "Dongwha Pharm will continue to strive to fulfill the role of Hwalmyungsu as 'Water that Saves Lives'."

Since the first release of the 116th anniversary edition of Hwalmyungsu in 2013, Dongwha Pharm has launched new commemorative editions annually through collaborations with Kakao Friends, the hip-hop survival program Show Me the Money, and the fashion brand Guess, carrying out the "Water that Saves Lives" campaign. Last year, they released an eco-friendly commemorative edition in collaboration with the upcycling brand "Pleats Mama."
