LIG Nex1 Gumi Production Headquarters Conducts 'Urban-Rural Win-Win Rural Volunteer Activities'

Company executives and the mayor's wife also rushed to the fields

"Such difficult tasks have filled the fields as well. This is the time when labor is most needed, so we must lend our strength!" Kwon Byung-hyun, Head of LIG Nex1 Southern Region, wiped the sweat streaming down his forehead and shared his thoughts as a one-day farmer.

Seo Jeong-jin, wife of Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho, was also sweating profusely while helping with the farming work. On that day, the fields of Haepyeong-myeon, Gumi-si, Gyeongbuk, were piling up onion bundles as much as the sweat shed by the 'farmers' who came from the city.

This is the scene of the 'Urban-Rural Win-Win Rural Volunteer Activity' held by LIG Nex1 (CEO Kim Ji-chan) on the 15th at an onion farm in Haepyeong-myeon, Gumi-si.

Employees of LIG Nex1 are working hard and sweating at an onion farm in Haepyeong-myeon, Gumi-si on the 15th, participating in rural volunteer activities.

More than 60 employees from LIG Nex1, the Gumi City Branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and Haepyeong Nonghyup are taking a commemorative photo after completing volunteer work to assist with farm labor in the fields of Haepyeong-myeon, Gumi City on the 15th.

About 60 people participated in the event, including Kwon Byung-hyun, Head of LIG Nex1 Southern Region, Jeong Chang-gyun, Director of Production Support at LIG Nex1, and about 30 LIG Nex1 executives and employees; Seo Jeong-jin (wife of Gumi Mayor Kim Jang-ho); Son Dong-won, Chairman of Haepyeong Nonghyup; about 20 executives and employees of Haepyeong Nonghyup; and Lee Jae-ho, Head of the Gumi Branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation.

They worked up a sweat cutting onion bundles, a pre-harvest task. They supported farms struggling with labor shortages and budget constraints during the busy farming season, spending a time of communication and empathy while understanding the difficult realities of rural life.

LIG Nex1 has maintained a sisterhood relationship with Geumho 1-ri, Haepyeong-myeon, Gumi-si since October 2009 and has been steadily exchanging with the community. They have been continuously practicing 'urban-rural win-win' and striving for the local community.

Kwon Byung-hyun, Head of LIG Nex1 Southern Region, said, "It was a meaningful time for executives and employees and residents connected through the One Company One Village program to communicate and sweat together through rural volunteer activities."

He added, "We will continue to take the lead in practicing urban-rural win-win through sincere social contribution activities and communicating with the local community."
