[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Won Young-sik, chairman of Chorokbaem Media, continues to dedicate efforts to social contributions for nurturing future leaders and advancing education. For over a decade, he has consistently carried out scholarship projects, serving as a strong support for talented individuals from financially disadvantaged families.


According to industry sources on the 12th, the Jun Scholarship Foundation was started in 2012 by Chairman Won Young-sik and his family to provide tuition and living support so that students facing difficult circumstances could focus on their studies. It is a youth scholarship program supporting about 30 students annually for more than ten years.


In one case, a student supported by the Jun Scholarship Foundation graduated from Daewon Foreign Language High School, is currently attending Woosuk University in Daejeon, and is serving under a military service exemption. Recently, upon hearing that this student's father urgently needed a liver transplant due to cirrhosis but was struggling with the surgery costs, Chairman Won Young-sik, his family, and Chorokbaem Media fully covered the surgery expenses.



The Jun Scholarship Foundation plans to further expand its donation projects. To this end, Chairman Won Young-sik’s family and Chorokbaem affiliates will contribute to the 'Wish on Hope Fund,' which is set to be launched through the Community Chest of Korea. The 'Wish on Hope Fund,' in partnership with the Community Chest of Korea, aims to pool the efforts of individuals and businesses wishing to help those in need by expanding medical support and scholarship programs.
