This marks the 4th large donation to Ulleung County, and the steady flow of large donations since the beginning of the year is bringing favorable winds to the Ulleung County Hometown Love Donation Program.

Vice President Park is originally from Ulleung County and is a businessman who served as CEO of Korea WiseNut from February 2004 to February 2013. He said, “I am honored to be able to donate for my hometown Ulleung, and I hope that the funds raised through the Hometown Love Donation Program will be used meaningfully.”

A county official stated that the donations from expatriates who do not forget their hometown Ulleung County and participate in the Hometown Love Donation Program serve as a model for the local community and spread positive influence. As of the 2nd, the amount raised through the Hometown Love Donation Program is 106.3% compared to the same period last year.

Nam Han-kwon, the county governor, said, “The Hometown Love Donation Program is a meaningful donation activity that creates funds from voluntary donations to be used for projects that improve residents’ welfare,” and added, “I ask that more people take an interest in and watch over the Ulleung County Hometown Love Donation Program.”

The Hometown Love Donation Program allows individuals to donate to local governments other than their registered address and receive tax deductions and gifts (up to 30% of the donation amount). Major gifts from the Ulleung County Hometown Love Donation Program include squid, pumpkin syrup, myeongi pickles, Ulleung Love gift certificates, and stone seaweed.
