[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon Remicon Co., Ltd. in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, visited Hapcheon County Office on the 15th and entrusted 250 boxes of side dish bugak worth 13 million won to be delivered to neighbors in need and flood victims in the area ahead of the traditional holiday Chuseok.

Of the 250 boxes donated, 200 boxes will be delivered to underprivileged households and flood victims through the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea, and 50 boxes will be designated for donation to nearby villages after review by the donation goods review committee.

This company made its second donation this year, following a donation of side dish bugak worth 12.5 million won to the county and nearby villages in April to help local residents struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

At the delivery ceremony, CEO Choi Hyun-sik said, "I extend my condolences as the whole country, including Hapcheon-gun, is in a crisis due to the COVID-19 situation and the flood damage caused by heavy rain," adding, "At times like this, we prepared a small token of sincerity ahead of Chuseok with the mindset that we must overcome this by joining forces."

Hapcheon County Governor Moon Jun-hee expressed gratitude, saying, "It must be difficult to maintain business activities as the local economy has been depressed due to COVID-19, but thank you for helping local residents in need," and responded, "The donated goods will be distributed evenly to underprivileged households before Chuseok."

Meanwhile, Hapcheon Remicon was acquired by Asia Special Materials Group Co., Ltd. in February and plans to return part of its profits to the local community while aiming for "the best quality and a clean environment." It supplies to LH Jugong Apartments and the Changnyeong-Ulsan Expressway site. It is a group of seven companies including Korea Materials Co., Ltd., employing about 100 local talents in each region.
