At the donation ceremony, Ahn Jeong-tae, Executive Director of Aekyung Industrial, said, "In celebration of International Women's Day, we decided to provide this support to offer a small help to young women in Seoul preparing for independence," adding, "Going forward, Chiyubi will deeply empathize with social issues according to the values pursued by the brand and will make every effort to solve them together."

Kim Seon-sun, Director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Women and Family Policy Office, said, "We are grateful for the donation of female hygiene products, which are essential in daily life but costly, for young women preparing to stand alone after leaving facilities," and added, "Seoul City will also make more meticulous efforts to support the safe and healthy growth and independence of young women preparing for independence, doing its best to ensure there are no blind spots."
