[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] KT Alpha, which operates K Shopping, announced on the 27th that it has delivered love sponsorship funds for youth baseball teams for the fifth consecutive year, together with KT Wiz and the KT Group Hope Sharing Foundation.

This year's beneficiary is the country's first junior girls' baseball team, the Dangjin Junior Girls' Baseball Team. Since 2017, KT Alpha has economically and culturally supported aspiring baseball players in need, such as children with disabilities and multicultural children, based on a social contribution agreement with KT Wiz.

The love sponsorship fund was raised to a total of 6.06 million KRW by accumulating 200,000 KRW per home run by player Kang Baek-ho and 300,000 KRW per win by player So Hyeong-jun, combined with a portion of the auction proceeds from KT Wiz players' uniforms sold through K Shopping live commerce. It will be used to purchase baseball equipment and support activity expenses needed by the Dangjin Junior Girls' Baseball Team through the KT Group Hope Sharing Foundation.

Jung Ki-ho, CEO of KT Alpha, said, “We hope this will be a source of support and encouragement for students who work hard for their dreams despite difficult circumstances such as COVID-19, and we will continue to take the lead in practicing social responsibility through ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.”
