KB Kookmin Bank Delivers Wish Fulfillment Gifts to Soldiers via Non-Face-to-Face Service

'2020 Jangbyeong Sowon Seongchi Project' Award Ceremony Held Online

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 7th that it held the '2020 Soldier Wish Fulfillment Project Awards Ceremony' online.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of National Defense and KB Kookmin Bank, the '2020 Soldier Wish Fulfillment Project' is a program where South Korean soldiers submit their wishes along with stories, and the program fulfills those wishes and sends messages of support.

This year, due to COVID-19, the wish fulfillment certificates and souvenirs were individually delivered to the units where the awardees are serving. The Army's 5th Division produced four awardees and held the awards ceremony presided over by the division commander.

Since its inception in 2010, this project marked its 11th year this year, receiving a total of about 3,900 stories. Through screening, a total of 60 soldiers were finally selected. The selected soldiers will be supported to realize their long-cherished wishes within this year.

Han Sang-gyeon, Executive Director of the Institutional Customer Group at KB Kookmin Bank, said, “We hope this will boost the morale of soldiers facing difficulties due to COVID-19 and serve as a good stepping stone to prepare for the future,” adding, “We will continue to develop this program into one that supports soldiers' dreams and hopes through ongoing cooperation with the Ministry of National Defense.”
