[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Shinsegae Simon announced on the 2nd that it donated 50 million KRW to the 'Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign' on the 31st of last month.

The donation ceremony held at Yeoju City Hall was attended by Lee Hang-jin, Mayor of Yeoju, Do Hyun-cheol, Manager of Yeoju Premium Outlets, and Lee Hyun-soo, Head of Shinsegae Simon CSR Team, among other officials. The donation will be used for support projects to help low-income families in the area who are economically struggling due to COVID-19, and will be designated and entrusted to the Community Chest of Korea.

The company stated, "Yeoju Premium Outlets, which opened in June 2007 as the first of its kind in Korea, has continuously carried out community-based social contribution activities and fulfilled its role as a reliable partner of the local community. When COVID-19 spread, we delivered necessary supplies for quarantine activities, and in addition, we have supported the 'Specialty Product Direct Market' to revitalize the local economy and prioritized hiring local residents."

Last year, Yeoju Premium Outlets donated a 'vehicle for the disabled' and supplies to improve social welfare services in the area. Shinsegae Simon, together with Yeoju City, hosted the 'Yeoju Ceramic Fair' and the 'Ogoknaru Festival' at Yeoju Premium Outlets, sponsoring these representative local festivals.

Do Hyun-cheol, Manager of Shinsegae Simon Yeoju Premium Outlets, said, "We hope that warm support will be delivered to neighbors who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and we will continue to grow as a company that develops together with the local community through various mutual growth activities."
