[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Chung Yong-jin, Vice Chairman of Shinsegae Group, participated in the Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge on the 2nd.

On that day, Vice Chairman Chung posted a photo and message on his Instagram holding the slogan "Stop at 1 step · Look both ways at 2 steps · Wait for 3 seconds · Prevent at 4 points." The Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge is a public participation campaign started by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in December last year to establish a culture that prioritizes preventing traffic accidents and protecting children in school zones. Participants share photos taken with the children's traffic safety slogan on social networking services (SNS) and nominate the next participants in turn.

Vice Chairman Chung joined the campaign after being nominated by Lee Jae-wook, President of Jeonnam Ilbo. Chung said, "As the proverb goes, 'It takes a whole village to raise a child,' protecting children's safety requires the efforts of all of us," and added, "Please remember 1, 2, 3, 4 for traffic safety in school zones." He also added, "Since 2016, E-Mart has been conducting a yellow carpet installation project at 188 locations around elementary schools to prevent pedestrian traffic accidents involving children."

Vice Chairman Chung nominated Park Yong-jin, member of the Democratic Party of Korea; Park Chan-ho, former baseball player; and Cheon Ho-jeon, Vice President of Sejung Group, as the next participants in the campaign.
