Local company Daesun Brewery has sponsored weddings for severely disabled people in the region for 10 years this year.


Daesun Brewery announced that it sponsored the 34th Busan Joint Wedding Ceremony for Severely Disabled People held at the Busan Citizens Hall Small Theater on the 30th of last month.


The "Busan Joint Wedding Ceremony for Severely Disabled People" is an event organized by the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled for severely disabled people who could not hold weddings due to financial difficulties. Starting with 15 couples in 1987, a total of 210 couples have tied the knot, and Daesun Brewery has sponsored weddings for 53 couples from 2014 to this year.


Before the wedding ceremony, Daesun Brewery Executive Director Cha Jaeyoung delivered sponsorship funds and congratulatory remarks, and Daesun Brewery Manager Kim Minseung received a commendation from the Busan Mayor in recognition of his volunteer work efforts to improve the rights of disabled people.

At the wedding ceremony that day, five couples lit the wedding candles amid many blessings. Among them, the oldest couple, Kwon Heetaek (71) and Lim Okja (69), who have lived together since 1977 and raised two sons and one daughter, relieved their regret of not having held a wedding ceremony for 45 years.


The couple said, "Even though we lived together for a long time, something felt empty, but this wedding ceremony has made our marriage stronger," and "We are grateful to the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled and Daesun Brewery for creating an unforgettable wedding."


Daesun Brewery CEO Jo Woohyun said, "Like flowers blooming in spring, I hope the newlyweds who held their wedding today will have a marriage full of blessings," and added, "Daesun Brewery will continue to strive to create a society where disabled people can live together."



Yoo Youngho, chairman of the Busan Council of Organizations for the Physically Disabled, said, "Despite changes in business conditions such as the spread of COVID-19 and economic recession, Daesun Brewery has consistently helped the welfare of local disabled people, and we are grateful."
