[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 9th that President Heo In participated in the 'Stay Strong' campaign, which supports overcoming and early ending of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


The 'Stay Strong' campaign is a relay campaign started by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea last March to spread solidarity messages for overcoming COVID-19 worldwide. It features an image of praying hands combined with soap bubbles and includes the phrase 'Stay Strong,' symbolizing overcoming COVID-19 through personal hygiene management. Participants post photos holding signs on social networking services (SNS) and nominate three next participants.


President Heo joined the campaign upon nomination by Kim Yeonhee, the representative partner of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Korea. For the next participants, he nominated Choi Ki-young, President of Google Cloud Korea, Lee Seong-yeol, CEO of SAP Korea, and Choi In-hyeok, CEO of Naver Financial, representing global companies to embody the global significance of the campaign.



President Heo said, "I hope the Stay Strong campaign delivers a message of hope to the people and the world," adding, "KB Kookmin Bank will also contribute to overcoming COVID-19 together."
