[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Buchae-pyo Gasong Foundation announced on the 21st that it has selected Song Min-ho, Vice President of the Incheon Disabled Dental Care Volunteer Association (Director of Prince & Princess Dental Clinic), as the recipient of the 11th Yoon Gwang-yeol Dental Medical Volunteer Award in collaboration with the Korean Dental Association.

Vice President Song, a pediatric dental specialist, has been actively participating in volunteer activities for over 10 years since 2008, serving vulnerable children, foreign workers, and people with severe disabilities, and has been recognized for his contributions to improving oral health among medically underserved groups.

Currently, Vice President Song serves as the Vice President of the Incheon Disabled Dental Care Volunteer Association and as a director of the Korean Academy of Disability Dentistry, conducting various free treatment projects to improve treatment accessibility for children and disabled individuals who find it difficult to visit general dental clinics. He also serves as an executive of the Incheon Metropolitan City Dental Association, contributing to the protection of members' rights and the development of the association.

Established jointly by the Buchae-pyo Gasong Foundation and the Korean Dental Association in 2012, the Yoon Gwang-yeol Dental Medical Volunteer Award honors individuals or organizations who have served and dedicated themselves to promoting the oral health of the public.

The Buchae-pyo Gasong Foundation was established in April 2008 with the philosophy that "corporate profits should be returned to society," funded by the late Honorary Chairman Yoon Gwang-yeol of Dongwha Pharm and his wife Kim Soon-nyeo. The foundation supports academic research projects through awards such as the Yoon Gwang-yeol Dental Medical Volunteer Award, the Yoon Gwang-yeol Medical Award (jointly established with the Korean Medical Association in 2009), the Medical Contribution Award (jointly operated with the Korean Medical Association since 2017), the Yoon Gwang-yeol Pharmaceutical Award (jointly established with the Korean Pharmaceutical Association in 2008), and the Yoon Gwang-yeol Pharmaceutical Contribution Award (jointly established with the Korean Pharmaceutical Association in 2019). It has also selected talented university students with excellent academic performance but financial difficulties and provided scholarships to support them.
