Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation Holds Online Appreciation Event for Partner Organizations

Sharing Public Interest Activity Outcomes with Over 50 Partner Organizations and Foundations

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-koo Foundation announced that on the 10th, it held an online event called the ‘Final Chapter’ to express gratitude to partner organizations that participated in social contribution projects with the foundation throughout the year.

Amid the crisis caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation, the foundation expressed appreciation for the efforts of partner organizations that continuously engaged in social contribution activities and simultaneously shared the public interest achievements through the foundation’s projects. This year, the foundation also took time to present plaques of appreciation to partner organizations concluding their projects with the foundation, reflecting on past accomplishments.

The event also featured a classical concert with commentary by the foundation’s OnDream cultural and arts scholarship students and the ‘Ham Shin-ik and Symphony Song Orchestra.’ Notably, this year, the foundation’s logo music ‘Dream On’ was performed for the first time by Ham Shin-ik and Symphony Song. ‘Dream On’ is a piece composed by Hee-jung Park, who is active in the United States, created as an element of empathy for the dreams the foundation aims to achieve together with humanity.

The director of the National Youth and Play Culture Research Institute, who attended the event, said, “Since 2014, over the past seven years, through the ‘OnDream Character Education Teacher Training’ project, we sincerely thank the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-koo Foundation for leading efforts to nurture youth who will lead Korea’s future as next-generation leaders with strong character,” adding, “We hope they will continue to dedicate themselves to fostering future talents with the same spirit.”

Kwon Oh-gyu, chairman of the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-koo Foundation, said, “This year, despite the unexpected COVID-19 crisis that made it a difficult time for everyone, we were able to continue the projects well by preparing various measures without losing the original purpose and meaning of social contribution projects together with partner organizations,” and added, “I express my gratitude to the partner organization members who ran alongside us on the front lines to deliver warmth throughout society.”
