Hyundai Engineering Provides Supplies to Squalid Room Residents in Preparation for the Heatwave

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Engineering announced on the 16th that it has provided supplies to help residents of jjokbang rooms in five Seoul areas?Donuidong, Changsin-dong, Namdaemun, Seoul Station, and Yeongdeungpo?spend a safe and healthy summer.

Hyundai Engineering stated, "We sponsored 88,500 bottles of water and 2,600 servings of Samgyetang to 3,100 jjokbang residents who are going through a more difficult time than ever due to the heatwave and the COVID-19 pandemic."

The delivery ceremony for the sponsored supplies, held at the Namdaemun Jjokbang Counseling Center's joint workshop, was conducted simply with only a few participants, including Eom Hong-seok, Executive Director of Hyundai Engineering, Kang Jae-shin, Head of Seoul City Self-Support Division, Jeong Su-hyun, Director of Namdaemun Jjokbang Counseling Center, and resident representatives.

Hyundai Engineering has been supporting jjokbang residents with summer supplies such as fans, bottled water, mats, insecticides, and mosquito nets for five years since 2015. Last month, it collaborated with the social enterprise Big Walk to carry out an "untact social contribution activity" that converts steps into donations. Over one month, about 1,600 employees participated, donating approximately 220 million steps, which is 750% of the initial goal of 30 million steps.

A Hyundai Engineering official said, "Although we are unable to conduct traditional offline social contribution activities, we will not stop and will accelerate various untact social contribution activities currently underway to ensure that Hyundai Engineering employees' warm neighborly love is well conveyed."
