The 8th recipient is also a future talent of the region, showing outstanding talent as a sports dance athlete despite the challenges of a grandparent-headed household.

Gwangju Bank plans to support the two youths as Hope Blossoms Dream Trees by providing art support funds and study support funds respectively until they enter university.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “We will actively support local youths so that they do not give up in difficult environments and can do their best to achieve their dreams,” adding, “We will continue to select and support Hope Blossoms Dream Trees and take the lead in nurturing future talents in the region.”
