The Hamanhacheon National Movement Headquarters is a collaborative organization involving figures from various sectors to expand the "Harumanbo Harucheonja" campaign, promoted by Asia Economy in 2023 as part of a nationwide brain health project, into a national movement. It is based on a shared recognition that, with the advent of a super-aged society expected by 2025, the most desirable approach to promote the practice of the Hamanhacheon movement for public health and national cost reduction is through a public-private national movement.

The Hamanhacheon movement encourages daily walking and writing to prepare for a healthy centenarian era. Walking and writing have been proven through domestic and international research to be the easiest ways to maintain brain health in daily life. Especially as COVID-19 transitions to an endemic phase, the central and local governments have been hosting walking events and developing various walking-related programs. These activities have become a new trend in ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) in both public and private sectors, increasing the necessity of the Hamanhacheon national movement.

The Hamanhacheon National Movement Headquarters plans to gather opinions from all walks of life to organize and systematize the national movement. Asia Economy is currently providing various Hamanhacheon-related content through online and offline channels, newsletters, and community services to promote nationwide expansion. Additionally, various online and offline events, including the "2023 Good Brain International Conference" scheduled for September, will be held.
