[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Trainee Reporter Se-ryeong Lee] New employees who receive their first paycheck at their first job each have different places where they want to spend their money for the first time.


Two young men generously set aside a portion of their salary for their neighbors.


On the 27th, when the biting cold wave even froze the breath inside masks, new employees Kwon Yong-chan and Kim Jin-young of Ilsinhwaiba visited the Hayang-eup Administrative Welfare Center in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongbuk, leaving behind 'warmth' as if to melt the cold surrounding the facility.


The company Ilsinhwaiba, where the two young men work, manufactures flocking for vehicle parts. They utilize a manufacturing technique that adheres fibers cut to a certain short length onto the surface of semi-finished products.


Since the spread of COVID-19, they have been producing and supplying diagnostic swabs, which are the outer materials for diagnostic kits. It is a kind-hearted 'neighbor' company that donated 50 million won for helping neighbors last year and again on the 23rd.


Kwon Yong-chan and Kim Jin-young witnessed their first workplace sharing with the local community. Therefore, they decided to participate in the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign.


Despite the worsening employment crisis and the harsh reality due to COVID-19, they could not hide their joy of getting their first job and the custom of sharing.


Their steps holding the money were brisk. The donation was 1 million won each, totaling 2 million won. The collected funds will be used in 2022 under the names of emergency living expenses and emergency medical expenses through the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea.


Kwon Yong-chan and Kim Jin-young said cheerfully, "Seeing the boss generously donate for the neighbors, we also wanted to share the joy of our first employment with the community."



Lee Young-seok, head of Hayang-eup, responded, "We express our gratitude to the young people who donated the money they earned through hard work and will use it carefully where help is urgently needed."
