POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks (Director Lee Dong-ryeol) announced that it will hold the first Civilized Citizen Lecture of the Gapjin Year, organized by the Corporate Citizenship Office and the POSTECH Civilized Citizen Education Center, today, February 15, at Baegun Art Hall located in Geumho-dong, Gwangyang City.

This lecture is the first of two Baegun special lecture series scheduled to be held in Gwangyang this year, with the theme "Make What You Have Desired by the World!" featuring invited author Choi In-a.

Currently active as the CEO of Choi In-a Bookshelf and as an author, Choi In-a will spend time directly communicating with attendees about "living true to oneself" in an uncertain world through her unique questions during the lecture.

Additionally, those who submit questions in advance when applying for the lecture will have a chance to receive a book signed by author Choi In-a through a lottery.

The lecture is free of charge and open to anyone aged high school and above, as it is held not only for POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks employees but also for local citizens.

Applications can be made through the POSTECH Civilized Citizen Education Center website and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Meanwhile, POSCO, in collaboration with POSTECH, provides various beneficial lectures annually to residents and employees in the Gwangyang and Pohang areas. Last October, it held the "Lee Kun-hee Collection Docent Tour and Civilized Citizen Baegun Special Lecture" at the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art, actively striving to realize a company that coexists and grows with the local community by presenting a model where business and society develop together.
