Chairman Kang was active in various fields, including serving as chairman of BBS, chairman of the Busan Rehabilitation Protection Association, president of the Palgakhoe, founder of the Busan Port Wharf Management Association, and chairman of the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, reflecting his commitment to returning corporate profits to society.
