Samsung Life Insurance announced on the 7th that it will conduct the "Determined March Walking Challenge" for retirement pension subscribers throughout March. The challenge, linked with the application (app) "The Health," will run until the 29th. Participants who register for the challenge through Samsung Life's mobile homepage and achieve 6,000 steps per day during the event period will earn one stamp. Various prizes are prepared for customers who collect 15 stamps. A Samsung Life representative explained, "This was planned to motivate people so that their exercise plans made at the beginning of the year do not end after just three days, and to help customers improve their health by forming proper walking habits in daily life." They added, "We hope this will be an opportunity to check retirement assets and take care of health."


Naver is conducting a walking challenge on its Health Board until the 19th. Users can apply for a start notification through the Health Board event page and collect stickers displayed on the Health Board by achieving 6,000 steps daily for two weeks. Among users who collect the goal achievement stickers, 10,000 will be selected by lottery to receive Naver Pay points. Naver plans to hold various themed walking challenges every month this year to help users obtain health information and form healthy exercise habits.



Local governments are holding walking challenges to establish walking habits among residents and prevent obesity. Mokpo City is running "A Walk Around Mokpo with Two Feet!" throughout March. Up to 10,000 steps can be recorded per day. Participants who complete 150,000 steps during the challenge period will be entered into a draw to receive mobile gift certificates. Yeosu City is operating a non-face-to-face walking challenge until the 31st in celebration of Citizen Health Day. The challenge aims to form the "1530 Habit" of walking at least five times a week for 30 minutes or more to reduce obesity rates and create a healthy city.
