Since 2000, Chairman Choi has led the popularization of golf and the development of golf culture by hosting the Seowon Valley Charity Green Concert, which opens the golf course free of charge. The 20th Green Concert is scheduled to be held on May 25.

In addition, Seowon Valley Country Club hosts the only LPGA tournament in Korea, as well as KLPGA and KPGA tournaments. It has also worked to expand the golf base by hosting the largest women's amateur tournament in the country, a golf tournament for the visually impaired, free weddings for multicultural families, and fostering junior golf players through the Seowon Academy.

Chairman Choi said, “Based on my belief that ‘corporate profits must be used for those in need,’ I have taken great interest in social contribution through golf. Following the launch of a new golf team composed of professionals and amateurs last March, I feel a great sense of fulfillment to be able to play a role in nurturing golf dream trees who will represent the future of Korea.”
