Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Donates 29.1 Million KRW to Jeonju City

This Season's Goals and Wins Fundraising... Jeonju City Utilizes 'Eomma's Bapsang' and 'Jihye's Banchan' Projects

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors players, who achieved the first-ever 5 consecutive championships in K League history, donated the funds raised every time they scored goals or won matches this year to children and adolescents in the Jeonju area.

On the 27th, Heo Byung-gil, CEO of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, player Choi Cheol-soon, and other Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors officials visited the Jeonju Mayor's office and donated 29.1 million KRW collected through the ‘Love’s Oorelele’ and ‘Goal Smileage’ programs.

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors players, who recorded the most wins with 22 and the highest number of goals with 71 in this year’s league, raised 22 million KRW through the ‘Love’s Oorelele’ program, which donates 1 million KRW every time they win a league match.

Additionally, they raised 7.1 million KRW through the ‘Goal Smileage’ program, where players donate 100,000 KRW each time they score a goal.

The Jeonju city government plans to use the 22 million KRW raised through ‘Love’s Oorelele’ for the ‘Mom’s Table’ project, which supports warm lunch boxes, snacks, and birthday cakes for about 300 children and adolescents who skip breakfast.

The 7.1 million KRW raised through ‘Goal Smileage’ will be used for the ‘Wisdom Side Dish’ project, which provides age-appropriate books to underprivileged children.

A Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors official said, “We hope that the funds collected by the players through their hard work throughout the year will be delivered to children in need and help them grow into healthy adults, even if just a little.”
