Seoul Jung-gu Cultural Center (Director Nam Wol-jin) and Hanjin Heung-eop Labidus (CEO Park Yang-chun) each donated 10 million won as scholarship funds to Jung-gu, Seoul.

Jung-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Kim Gil-sung) recently held a donation ceremony at the district office. At this event, Nam Wol-jin, Director of Seoul Jung-gu Cultural Center, and Park Yang-chun, CEO of Hanjin Heung-eop Labidus, handed over the scholarship funds to the district mayor, requesting that they be used for the Jung-gu Talent Development Scholarship Foundation projects. They also serve as directors of the Jung-gu Talent Development Scholarship Foundation.

Director Nam stated, “I hope that the talents who will lead the future of our region do not lose hope and freely pursue their dreams,” adding, “We will continue to maintain a steady interest in social contribution.”

CEO Park expressed his thoughts, saying, “We will strive to ensure that the foundation can play a solid stepping stone role by carrying out more active scholarship projects.”

The foundation was launched in 2012 to address educational disparities and provide stable educational opportunities to underprivileged groups. It supports scholarship projects with sponsorship from companies and philanthropists committed to nurturing local talent. This year, through the foundation revitalization project “Your Dream, Together,” it is discovering sponsors and promoting various scholarship programs.

Since last year, the foundation has been implementing differentiated scholarship programs that allow students to explore their potential through diverse experiences, such as visiting prestigious overseas universities like Harvard and experiencing foreign cultures.

District Mayor Kim Gil-sung said, “I deeply appreciate the foundation directors who generously support the development of local talent despite the economic downturn,” and added, “We will provide wholehearted support so that the children of Jung-gu can receive education in better environments and achieve their dreams.”
