On the 21st, Chairman Park shared on Facebook a photo of himself smiling brightly in front of a flower basket and cake in his office. On this day, KCCI employees prepared an event to celebrate Chairman Park's 7th anniversary in office.

Chairman Park explained the situation, saying, "I came to the KCCI office wearing work clothes right after delivering bread and packing relief supplies at the cafeteria, when the executives suddenly appeared holding flowers and a cake, saying it was my 7th anniversary in office."

Earlier that day, Chairman Park visited the jjokbangchon (tiny room village) in Jongno, where meals became difficult due to the resurgence of COVID-19, and participated in volunteer activities such as delivering bread.

When asked about his reflections on the past seven years, Chairman Park added that "there was only one answer," and he replied, "What good would it do if I look back? You look back and tell me."

Park Yong-man was inaugurated as chairman of the KCCI in August 2013, succeeding Chairman Sohn Kyung-shik, serving the remaining one and a half years of the term, and was unanimously elected as the 22nd chairman in March 2015. He succeeded in his reappointment in March 2018 and has held the chairman position for seven years to date.

Chairman Park's term lasts until March next year, and according to the regulation allowing only one reappointment, he will retire next year at the end of his term.
