Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation Recruiting Participants for Multicultural Couples Wedding Ceremony 'Woori Wedding Day'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Financial Group's Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation announced on the 7th that it is recruiting couples to participate in the wedding ceremony for multicultural couples, the '9th Woori Wedding Day.'

Woori Wedding Day is a support project for multicultural couples who could not hold a wedding due to financial difficulties. From 2013 to last year, 80 multicultural couples held weddings with the foundation's support. Applications are accepted through the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation website until the 21st of this month, and a total of 10 couples will be selected considering their application stories, income levels, and number of dependents.

This year, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), small-scale weddings centered on immediate family members will be supported, minimizing guest invitations and strictly adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Son Tae-seung, Chairman of Woori Financial Group and Chairman of the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation, will officiate the ceremony. The Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation will cover all costs for the participating couples, including the wedding ceremony, wedding photography, and family trips.

A representative of the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation said, "Through Woori Wedding Day, the foundation will help multicultural couples build emotional bonds and lead stable married lives in Korean society," adding, "Although the number of invited guests has decreased due to COVID-19, the wedding will be significant in its meaning."

The Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation is a public foundation established in 2012 with a 20 billion KRW endowment from Woori Bank and other affiliates of Woori Financial Group, conducting scholarship, education, culture, and welfare projects. Since July, it has launched career and college admission support programs for multicultural children and is carrying out various projects to help multicultural families fulfill their roles and responsibilities as members of Korean society.
