[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Cho Kyung-mok, CEO of SK Energy, visited Gonae-ri, Aewol-eup, Jeju on the 22nd to deliver lunchboxes to elderly haenyeo (female divers) living alone. As part of the 'One Meal Sharing Ontact' activity, which SK Group regularly conducts, Cho visited Jeju together with members of Jeju United, a football team based in Jeju.

'One Meal Sharing Ontact' is a win-win model that delivers a meal to vulnerable groups struggling due to COVID-19 while supporting local small businesses. It reflects the intention of SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, who said, "Let's find and do what we can right now to solve social problems." There are about 3,600 haenyeo in Jeju, with approximately 60% of them being elderly aged 70 or older.

Earlier, SK Energy and Jeju signed an agreement with Jeju Province and the Jeju Haenyeo Association in late February to carry out a 20-week lunchbox delivery volunteer activity targeting elderly vulnerable haenyeo. The lunchboxes were made by local small and medium-sized enterprises.
