[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Another campaign to help socially vulnerable groups through donations is starting.

Busan City (Mayor Park Hyung-joon) announced that it will hold the 'Busan Social Vaccine Sharing Campaign' at 11:30 a.m. on the 21st in the protocol room on the 7th floor of City Hall.

This campaign is being promoted to support vulnerable groups suffering from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession, and to address social issues such as depression and unemployment.

It will be simultaneously conducted for 47 days until the 31st of next month across 17 cities and provinces nationwide.

In Busan, Mayor Park Hyung-joon, representing Busan City, will be the first donor to kick off the donation relay.

At the donation ceremony, Mayor Park Hyung-joon, Chairman Choi Geum-sik of Busan Community Chest of Korea, and former Chairman Shin Jeong-taek of Busan Community Chest of Korea are expected to attend.

Mayor Park Hyung-joon, selected as the first donor, said, "I am honored to be the first donor of the Social Vaccine Sharing Campaign," adding, "I hope that many people who share this intention will contribute so that the funds can be used throughout society suffering from the COVID-19 crisis, and the city will do its best to solve problems arising from COVID-19."

Following this, a donation relay will be conducted targeting Busan sharing leaders and citizens. The funds raised through this campaign will support not only low-income households but also small business owners and unemployed individuals who are struggling due to the economic downturn.

Additionally, following the sharing campaign, a 'Sharing Prestigious Company Enrollment Ceremony' will be held.

A Sharing Prestigious Company refers to a high-value donor company that has donated more than 100 million KRW to support vulnerable groups. Currently, there are five Sharing Prestigious Companies in Busan: Busan Bank, DSR Co., Ltd., IS Dongseo Co., Ltd., SJ Tanker Co., Ltd., and GEMEX.

On this day, Seun Steel Co., Ltd. (Chairman Shin Jeong-taek) and Sunbo Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Choi Geum-sik) will participate in the enrollment ceremony and each donate 100 million KRW as Sharing Prestigious Companies.
