[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chun-hee] Hoban Construction delivered relief supplies to Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, which is struggling due to flood damage and the resurgence of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 21st, Hoban Construction delivered 300 electric pressure rice cookers at the Gokseong-gun Office governor's office. The event was attended by Yoo Geun-gi, governor of Gokseong-gun, Yoon Ju-bong, chairman of the Namdo Cultural Foundation, and officials from Hoban Construction.

Gokseong-gun was designated a special disaster area after continuous heavy rain recently caused over 450mm of downpour overnight, resulting in flood damage such as roads, farmland, and facilities being washed away or submerged. In addition, the occurrence of COVID-19 confirmed cases delayed relief activities, making flood recovery difficult.

Yoo Geun-gi, governor of Gokseong-gun, said, "I believe the delivery of relief supplies will greatly help the flood victims in Gokseong," and added, "I am grateful that many people have shown interest and support."

Meanwhile, Hoban Construction also donated 200 million won through the Korean Red Cross on the 12th for flood damage recovery. Hoban Group is conducting various support projects, including delivering 2 billion won in 'emergency management stabilization funds' to partner companies for the first time in the construction industry to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and donating 300 million won in relief funds.
