[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Hong Jeong-guk, CEO of BGF, participated in the Flower Bucket Challenge on the 22nd to help flower farmers struggling due to the prolonged impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

CEO Hong expressed flower baskets and gratitude to 10 CU franchise owners and staff who worked for child safety, including store owner Jang Kyung-mi of CU Ansan Singil World Branch, who protected a 7-year-old girl who had lost her mother at the store and promptly handed her over to the police, safely returning her to her parents.

Since last year, BGF has been discovering and rewarding CU franchise owners and staff nationwide who have contributed to child safety and missing prevention every month, but recently, due to COVID-19, they have not been able to hold separate appreciation events.

Additionally, CEO Hong gifted companion plants with air-purifying effects to about 30 counselors and clinical psychologists from the Gyeongnam Child Protection Agency who took swift action during the Changnyeong child abuse case, raising social awareness about child abuse.

CEO Hong fully agreed with the purpose of the challenge to help struggling flower farmers and purchased all the flower baskets and companion plants used for the gifts from the Flower Garden Project Group at the Cheonan City Workshop for the Disabled.

CEO Hong said, "As the old saying goes, 'It takes a whole village to raise a child,' I send flowers with gratitude as a member of society and a father of three to all those working hard to ensure children grow up happily and safely," adding, "Although everyone is going through difficult times due to COVID-19, I hope we do not lose hope, overcome wisely, and return to ordinary daily life as soon as possible."

Recommended by Kim Hee-geun, Chairman of Byucksan Engineering, CEO Hong Jeong-guk, who participated in this campaign, nominated Oh Chi-hoon, CEO of Daehan Steel, as the next participant.
