[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] BYN Black Yak announced on the 4th that Chairman Kang Tae-seon and his wife have joined the Red Cross Honours Club, a group of high-value donors who have donated more than 100 million KRW to the Korean Red Cross.

Chairman Kang Tae-seon and Mrs. Kim Hee-wol each pledged a donation of 100 million KRW, becoming the 193rd and 194th members nationwide of the Red Cross Honours Club (RCHC). They are the 13th couple members and the first couple to join in the new year of 2022.

At the joining ceremony, Chairman Kang Tae-seon said, “Due to COVID-19, we are facing social issues completely different from before, and cooperation and solidarity among individuals, companies, and institutions are needed more than ever. I hope this donation, made together with my wife who has supported the spirit of sharing throughout her life, will help humanitarian activities assisting the underprivileged neighbors in Jeju, which is my hometown and the starting point of my business.”
