[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] POSCO International announced that President Ju Si-bo and company club members participated in a flower arranging volunteer activity with middle school immigrant youths in the Incheon area on the 22nd.

The flower arranging activity took place simultaneously at two locations?the main auditorium of the headquarters building and Incheon Saekkum School attended by the students?to minimize face-to-face contact in compliance with social distancing measures. Middle school immigrant youths refer to children of immigrants who remarried Korean spouses and reside in Korea.

This activity was organized to promote the emotional stability of middle school immigrant youths, who have been withdrawn due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the normalization of social distancing, and to support small business owners in the Incheon area facing economic difficulties. It was first launched last year as part of POSCO Group's Corporate Citizenship philosophy practice activities.

The flower arranging activity was conducted by planting green plants (Yulma and Anishida) considering the restrictions on outdoor activities. Student Shin Maiya, who participated in this activity, said, "I was depressed because I couldn't meet friends and had to study alone online due to COVID-19, but I feel proud seeing the completed flowerpot."

Ju Si-bo, President of POSCO International, encouraged the middle school immigrant youths going through difficult times due to concerns about COVID-19 infection, saying, "Sharing the flowerpots you made with someone else and spreading happiness is also the role of a 'Corporate Citizen' member."

Meanwhile, POSCO International has been supporting Korean language and nationality acquisition education for middle school immigrant youths since 2015.
