Timon "Bringing the Families of June 25 War Veterans Back Home..."

Participation in '6·25 War Veterans' Family DNA Sample Collection' Available on Tmon

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] TMON (CEO Lee Jin-won) announced that starting from the 29th, it will conduct the "Finding Families of 6.25 War Casualties" campaign in collaboration with the Ministry of National Defense's Remains Recovery and Identification Unit (hereafter referred to as the National Unit). TMON will continue to participate in the project as the only online platform capable of facilitating family DNA sample collection.

The "6.25 War Casualty Remains Recovery Project," conducted by the National Unit for 20 years, aims to return approximately 123,000 unidentified or unrecovered 6.25 War casualties to their families. Since securing family DNA, which is essential for identification, is urgently needed, TMON is participating to promote nationwide DNA sample collection and encourage non-face-to-face participation.

In June, to mark the 70th anniversary of the 6.25 War, TMON and the National Unit previously conducted a campaign to find families of casualties. During the two-week campaign, a total of 4,890 customers participated, successfully completing the campaign. Currently, DNA sample collection is underway for participants who have been finally confirmed as family members among those who joined the campaign.

Building on this success, TMON has reopened the campaign to commemorate Armed Forces Day and made it possible to participate in sample collection on an ongoing basis through TMON. Participation is completed by clicking the "Participate" button and answering a simple questionnaire regarding family information. The National Unit will sequentially contact participants to proceed with the sample collection process.
