Seoul Jung-gu Ilgop Ai Couple Receives 100 Million KRW Sponsorship from Kumho Petrochemical Group

The Family Decides to Use the Valuable 100 Million Won Sponsored by Kumho Petrochemical Group to Secure a Larger and More Comfortable Home

Kumho Petrochemical Group generously donated 100 million KRW to a young couple in Jung-gu, Seoul, who became a topic of conversation for having seven children.

The couple gave birth to their seventh child on February 5 and received the first childbirth and childcare support fund of 10 million KRW from Jung-gu (Mayor Kim Gil-seong). When Mayor Kim Gil-seong congratulated the couple on the 22nd and asked if they were having any difficulties raising many children, the couple replied, "We need a bigger house."

Upon hearing this story, Kumho Petrochemical Group (Chairman Park Chan-gu) expressed their intention to support Jung-gu Office on the 26th. Chairman Park Chan-gu said, "In this era of low birth rates, we decided to support this young couple raising seven children to encourage them," adding, "We hope the donation will help them live comfortably with their children in a larger home."

Jung-gu decided to use the precious 100 million KRW donated by Kumho Petrochemical Group to help the family secure a bigger and more comfortable house. They plan to guide the family on ways to prepare the deposit, such as the jeonse rental system, and actively assist with all processes of finding a new home in Jung-gu by connecting them with certified real estate agents.

A Jung-gu official stated, "We will continue to pay attention to and support this family until the children reach adulthood."

Meanwhile, Kumho Petrochemical Group has been leading efforts to support large families. In August 2023, they donated 50 million KRW to a family with nine children in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and in September of the same year, they contributed another 50 million KRW to a family with three children in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, who overcame kidney transplantation and cancer.

A representative of Kumho Petrochemical Group also shared, "Chairman Park Chan-gu, upon hearing the story, said it was a precious case that sounded an alarm in our society by spreading the joy of life conception and childbirth despite difficult circumstances, and thus promoted the donation."

Mayor Kim Gil-seong of Jung-gu expressed gratitude for Kumho Petrochemical Group’s generous support, saying, "Jung-gu’s bold support to overcome the low birth rate crisis has brought another joy to large families." He also added, "We will continue to make Jung-gu a better place to live so that more large families can be born and settle here."
