Financial Investment Industry Hosts the 10th Sarang-ui Kimchi Fair Sharing Event

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The Korea Financial Investment Association announced on the 18th that it held the '10th Love Kimchi Fair' event in the association's front yard, jointly with the financial investment industry including securities firms, asset management companies, futures companies, trust companies, and related organizations.

This year, due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the industry employees could not gather together for the kimchi-making event, but 61 financial investment companies and securities-related organizations, including the association, participated in sponsoring the Kimchi Fair. A total of 36,500 Kg of kimchi was delivered to about 100 welfare facilities sponsored by the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation and member companies.

The event was held simply with the participation of Na Jae-cheol, chairman of the association, CEOs of the association's vice-chairman companies, and related organizations representing the industry. The Love Kimchi Fair, which started in 2011 to support the winter needs of underprivileged neighbors and is now in its 10th year, has established itself as a representative social contribution event of the financial investment industry as the number of participating companies increases every year. The event attracted attention as Yoon Kwan-seok, chairman of the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee, visited to encourage the financial investment industry's sharing event.

Na Jae-cheol, chairman of the Korea Financial Investment Association, said, "I hope the small sincerity of the industry will help our neighbors get through the winter," and added, "The financial investment industry will continue to inherit the value of sharing inherent in the kimchi-making culture and strive to realize a warm capital market."
