The 1 Company 1 Village farm labor support was temporarily suspended after 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but has resumed this year after four years. About 40 Kumho Construction employees helped with farming work from early morning until afternoon, visiting farms in Sagok-ri Village, which is experiencing a shortage of labor during the busy farming season. Groups of 4 to 5 people worked together with Sagok-ri residents on tasks such as rice planting and helping in chili pepper and ginseng fields.

Kumho Construction established a 1 Company 1 Village partnership with Sagok-ri Village in Chungbuk in 2014. Since then, it has maintained continuous exchange activities, visiting the village twice a year to assist with labor and supporting remodeling of old buildings once a year. In the second half of the year, the company plans to carry out activities including ▲ remodeling old houses for elderly living alone ▲ a 1-night, 2-day labor support activity during the harvest period ▲ purchasing rice from Sagok-ri Village and donating the sales proceeds from employees.

A Kumho Construction official said, "We will continue efforts to promote mutual growth between urban and rural areas through ongoing exchanges with Sagok-ri Village," adding, "We plan to expand various social contribution activities along with the 1 Company 1 Village program in the future."
