[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] NHN announced on the 28th that it donated children's books to the Seongnam Volunteer Center using the proceeds from an internal auction of old company assets for employees.

Since 2020, NHN has been conducting the "My Auction" campaign annually, where employees can purchase PCs, monitors, and other equipment that have reached the end of their usage cycle through an auction. All proceeds are donated in various ways within Seongnam City, where the business is located.

Through the recent auction, a total donation fund of 24 million KRW was raised, and approximately 2,100 children's books purchased with these funds were delivered to about 70 elementary schools in Seongnam City to be used for children's learning.

The fact that employees can purchase items at reasonable prices and also contribute to donations received great support, with about 700 participants competing in bids for around 100 products. The company achieved resource-saving effects through eco-friendly activities of recycling old assets.

Seungchan Lee, Director of NHN's Human Resources and General Affairs Support Office, said, "We hope this book donation will be a small help for children in Seongnam City to nurture their precious dreams," and added, "We will continue various social contribution activities that employees can directly participate in to contribute to the healthy development of the local community."
