2023 Fit Firefighter Hope Sharing Calendar

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Fire & Disaster Headquarters announced on the 15th that the ‘2023 Momjjang Firefighter Hope Sharing Calendar’ will be available until January 19 next year, and plans to support low-income burn patients.

Marking the 9th edition since the first calendar in 2015, the Momjjang Firefighter Hope Sharing Calendar project selects 15 active firefighters who wish to participate in spreading a culture of sharing. It is created through the talent donation of renowned domestic photographer Oh Jung-seok and the social contribution participation of various companies.

The calendar comes in two types: wall and desk calendars, priced at 11,900 KRW per copy, symbolizing the number 119. All proceeds from sales are donated to the social welfare corporation Hallim Burn Foundation and used to support treatment costs for low-income burn patients. The calendar can be purchased online through GS Shop and 10x10, and the physical calendar can be viewed and purchased at the 10x10 Daehakro store.

As a feature, the desk calendar design was changed from previous years to a card format, utilizing works such as stylish calligraphy submitted by citizens. Along with nine outstanding works selected from the Fire Safety Art Contest, calligrapher Lim Mina’s work was inserted on the back of the calendar to also promote safety awareness.

Additionally, the promotional event for the launch of the ‘2023 Momjjang Firefighter Hope Sharing Calendar’ will be held online on the 17th via the YouTube channel of Hong Beom-seok. Former firefighter YouTuber Hong Beom-seok and Momjjang firefighters will appear to introduce the calendar project’s purpose, conduct interviews with Momjjang firefighters, and hold quizzes on winter fire safety and firefighting knowledge.

Meanwhile, over the past eight years, more than 95,000 copies of the Momjjang Firefighter calendar have been sold, with total sales revenue and donations reaching 880 million KRW. A total of 229 severe burn patients have received treatment support through the Hallim Burn Foundation during this period.

Choi Tae-young, head of the Fire & Disaster Headquarters, said, “I ask for your great interest in safety and the culture of sharing through the Momjjang Firefighter calendar,” and added, “Seoul Fire will also do its utmost to ensure citizen safety through various measures such as winter fire prevention.”
