In the courier driver category, Geum Jong-myeong (34), responsible for deliveries in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, was selected. Mr. Geum operates a YouTube channel called 'Taeka' with 50,000 subscribers.
In the delivery point category, Na Young-hee (44), who runs a delivery point with her husband in Songdo, Incheon, and serves as the head of the Incheon Yeonsu Songdo Land Mart delivery point, was selected. In the subcontractor category, 'Hanseokman Power,' which established the first COVID-19 screening clinic and drive-through temperature check system at a domestic logistics site, was chosen. Additionally, in the trunk carrier category, Joil Logistics was awarded for improving container utilization efficiency at the hub terminal.
