This marks the third year of the relationship that began with Vice Chairman Jang Se-wook's personal donation of 100 million won. The total accumulated sponsorship amount is 700 million won.

In March 2021, Vice Chairman Jang felt that free meal-sharing activities near the Euljiro headquarters were gradually disappearing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and sought ways to help, ultimately donating 100 million won of his own funds to the Myeongdong Soup Kitchen.

The sponsorship funds will be used to support meal services for socially vulnerable groups such as homeless people and elderly living alone in the area near Dongkuk Steel Group's headquarters.

Vice Chairman Jang Se-wook said, "The Myeongdong Soup Kitchen, which delivers warmth in the Myeongdong and Euljiro areas where our group headquarters is located, is like a close neighbor," and added, "We will continue to support so that this good neighbor can maintain stable activities."

The Myeongdong Soup Kitchen is a free meal service under the Catholic Hanmaeum Hanmom Movement Foundation. It provides meals and self-sufficiency programs for homeless people and elderly living alone in the Myeongdong area. On average, about 800 people have their meals at the Myeongdong Soup Kitchen daily.
