This challenge aims to practice walking 10,000 steps a day for health promotion. To encourage participants, the Association will give gifticons each time they reach 150,000 and 300,000 steps during the period. An event will also be held where participants who post walking verification on the application (app) bulletin board will be entered into a draw to win prizes. The company with the highest walking participation will receive health support funds.

Kim Inwon, Chairman of the Korea Health Management Association, said, "I hope this challenge becomes an opportunity for employees to reflect on their health and check their daily step count, and a channel of communication for companies to connect with their employees through health."

Earlier in April, the Association held the 'Walk! Donate! Get Healthy!' challenge with the Miss Korea Green Association, pledging to donate 10 million won upon achieving 100 million steps.
