Since 2005 until 2017, CEO Lee provided 1 million KRW per person annually to 30 children of police officers affiliated with the provincial police agency, delivering a total of 392 million KRW over 13 years.

The scholarship payments, which were temporarily suspended due to the implementation of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, have resumed with the beneficiary target shifted to supporting neighbors in need, in accordance with CEO Lee’s intention to continue social contribution projects.

The first financial support and scholarships of this year were given to 7 crime victims who have suffered from various crimes, and 13 individuals including multicultural families, North Korean defectors, and children of police officers who died in the line of duty or passed away, following the business agreement between Commissioner Kim and CEO Lee.
