The First Female Honor Society Member in Nowon-gu... CEO Lee So-young of Financial Detox

Promise to Donate 100 Million KRW to Nowon Education Welfare Foundation for Child and Youth Welfare within 5 Years... Full Donation of Patent Royalties Generated from Financial Consulting Since Last August

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) has welcomed its first female member of the Seoul Community Chest of Korea Honor Society, member number 336.

The Honor Society is operated by the Community Chest of Korea, established in 2007 to promote individual donations and foster a mature donation culture. Individuals who donate a lump sum or a total of 100 million KRW or more within five years become full members.

The honoree is CEO So-young Lee of Financial Detox Co., Ltd., who pledged to donate 100 million KRW within five years to the Nowon Education Welfare Foundation to support the dreams and futures of youth.

At the induction ceremony on the 30th of last month, CEO Lee expressed her social contribution aspirations, stating, “If given the opportunity, I want to engage in welfare projects that minimize damage and help victims of financial fraud through financial counseling and legal support, helping them regain their daily lives.”

All donations will be used according to the donor’s wishes to support vulnerable children and youth in Nowon-gu. CEO Lee’s designated donations began in August with contributions for vulnerable youth in Nowon-gu, totaling over 10 million KRW this year alone. She donates all patent royalties generated through her financial consulting business to the Nowon Education Welfare Foundation.

Financial Detox, operated by CEO So-young Lee, is a unique, patented, and legalized debt consolidation company in Korea, combining the concepts of finance and detoxification. When starting the business, CEO Lee pledged to donate a portion of her husband’s and company’s profits, and she has been leading by example in the spirit of sharing.

The district is leading efforts to spread a culture of sharing by supporting vulnerable groups through the ‘2022 Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign.’ The campaign runs until February 14 next year, with a target amount of 2.8% higher than last year’s fundraising, set at 2.8 billion KRW. Despite the COVID-19 situation in 2021, the campaign exceeded its initial goal of 2.3 billion KRW, raising a record-breaking 2.72 billion KRW.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “Thank you for leading the way in practicing good influence despite the difficult times caused by COVID-19,” and added, “I sincerely congratulate you on becoming a member of the Seoul Honor Society.”
