[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Daesun Joojo, a local liquor company in Busan, has been lighting the wedding candles for severely disabled people in the region for the ninth consecutive year this year.

Daesun Joojo sponsored the 33rd Busan Severely Disabled Joint Wedding Ceremony held on the morning of the 25th at the Busan Citizens Hall Small Theater.

The 'Busan Severely Disabled Joint Wedding Ceremony' is an event organized by the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled for low-income severely disabled people who could not hold wedding ceremonies due to financial difficulties.

Starting with 15 couples in 1987, a total of 205 couples have tied the knot. Daesun Joojo has been working hard since 2014 to help 48 couples bear the fruits of love.

Before the wedding ceremony, Daesun Joojo Executive Director Cha Jae-young delivered sponsorship funds and congratulatory remarks.

Daesun Joojo Manager Lee Young-taek received a commendation from the Busan Mayor as a token of gratitude for nine years of sponsorship from the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled.

Five couples lit the wedding candles amid many blessings at the ceremony.

Among these couples, the oldest, 75-year-old Kang Yeon-hyu and 73-year-old Park Jeong-ja, attracted attention with a special story.

They held their wedding ceremony 53 years after their marriage in 1968. The couple, who had not been able to hold a ceremony due to financial circumstances, deepened their marital bond even more.

The two said, “We have lived together for over 50 years, enduring many hard and difficult days, but by relying on each other, we feel we are now seeing the fruits of our relationship. We thank the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled and Daesun Joojo for creating an unforgettable wedding ceremony.”

A representative of the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled also expressed gratitude for Daesun Joojo’s strong support.

The representative said, “Despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19, Daesun Joojo has continued its sponsorship steadily, greatly helping improve the welfare and rights of local disabled people.”

Daesun Joojo CEO Jo Woo-hyun said, “Like flowers swaying in the spring breeze, I hope the newlyweds’ married life will be full of excitement and happiness,” adding, “We will strive to create a world where people with disabilities live together with others.”

Daesun Joojo has been leading efforts to improve welfare for people with disabilities, including participating in the Disability Awareness Improvement Challenge in 2021 and donating a mobility support vehicle to the Seongwoo Happy Home, a welfare facility for severely disabled people, last February, to promote a society without discrimination.
