The ‘Daehan-i Salatda Account’ is part of KB Kookmin Bank’s independence movement commemorative project, the ‘Daehan-i Salatda Campaign,’ which has been ongoing since last year. The account image features the graffiti artist Ninbolt’s mural titled ‘Smiles of 11 Independence Heroes’ (Kwon Ki-ok, Kim Gu, Kim Jwa-jin, Nam Ja-hyun, Park Yeol, Ahn Jung-geun, Ahn Chang-ho, Yu Gwan-sun, Yoon Bong-gil, Hong Beom-do, Han Yong-un), painted on the 15m wide by 7m high exterior wall of ‘KB Cheongchun Maru’ in Hongdae.


All installment savings products of KB Kookmin Bank can be issued with this account, and donations are accumulated not only through new subscriptions but also through passbook reissuance.


The first and second subscribers of the ‘Daehan-i Salatda Account’ are President Moon Jae-in and First Lady Kim Jung-sook. On the 15th, President Moon and the First Lady visited the ‘Youth Exhibition of 11 Independence Heroes’ hosted by KB Kookmin Bank, viewed 22 artworks created by seven emerging artists and students from Jeonju Dong Elementary School, and became the first and second subscribers of the account.



A KB Kookmin Bank official said, “We hope that the ‘Smiles of 11 Independence Heroes,’ who smiled while envisioning the future of an independent Republic of Korea amid harsh realities, will deliver a message of hope and encouragement to all citizens facing difficulties such as COVID-19,” and added, “We sincerely thank the President and the First Lady for participating in this campaign.”
