[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Nexon is undertaking the construction of a children's rehabilitation hospital in the Gyeongnam region.

The Nexon Foundation announced on the 22nd that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Gyeongsangnam-do, Changwon City, and Changwon Gyeongsang National University Hospital to build the Gyeongnam Nexon Children's Rehabilitation Hospital and will donate 10 billion KRW in funds.

The Gyeongnam Nexon Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, operated by Changwon Gyeongsang National University, will be the first public children's rehabilitation hospital in the Gyeongnam region. It will be built in Namsan-dong, Seongsan-gu, Changwon City, with completion targeted for 2024. The hospital will have one basement floor and four above-ground floors, equipped with 50 beds and various rehabilitation treatment facilities.

The Nexon Foundation will donate 10 billion KRW over three years starting next year to support the hospital's construction. The funds will be raised through contributions from Nexon Korea and personal donations from Kim Jung-ju, the founder and former CEO of NXC.
