[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Good Neighbors Gwangju Seobu Branch (Branch Manager Jeong Yongjin) announced on the 23rd that it successfully completed the "Mind Growth Program" to overcome COVID-19, sponsored by Kia Tigers player Kim Sunbin, over four months from August to November.

Kia Tigers player Kim Sunbin has been continuously providing sponsorship funds to Good Neighbors Gwangju Seobu Branch since 2019 to support vulnerable children experiencing psychological and emotional difficulties.

Last year, he provided an art psychotherapy program and scholarships to about 100 children at 13 local children's centers in the Gwangju area, invited children to Kia Tigers baseball games, and provided autographed photos, thank-you videos, and snacks.

This year, the support target was expanded to 181 children at 20 locations in the Gwangju area, providing the psychological therapy "Mind Growth Program" to alleviate children's psychological difficulties caused by COVID-19.

The program consisted of a total of 12 sessions, with clinical professionals visiting the centers directly to conduct group art psychotherapy on the themes of relieving anxiety, depression, and stress caused by COVID-19; understanding infectious disease prevention laws; and establishing rules and order and recovering mental health.

Kia Tigers player Kim Sunbin said, "I am grateful to be able to help children in a situation where continuous support is needed for their safety and health due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "I hope this Mind Growth Program has been a time for children in the region who are struggling with COVID-19 to overcome this crisis well and grow into bright and healthy children."

Jeong Yongjin, branch manager of Good Neighbors Gwangju Seobu Branch, said, "I would like to thank Kia Tigers player Kim Sunbin once again for taking the lead during the difficult times of COVID-19 and practicing good sharing for children in crisis in the region. Good Neighbors Gwangju Seobu Branch will continue to do its best to ensure that children can be psychologically and emotionally happy."
