Continuing the Legacy of Late Chairman Kim Mansoo, Who Donated Over 12 Billion Won
"Father's Special Affection... Hoping for the Development of a Prestigious Local School"

Dong-A University (President Lee Haewoo) announced that Kim Sangheon, Chairman of DN Automotive, has generously donated 600 million KRW to the university's development fund.


The donation ceremony was held on the 24th at the main conference room of the university headquarters on the Seunghak Campus of Dong-A University. The event was attended by President Lee Haewoo, Chairman Kim Sangheon, Choi Hakyu and Choi Jaeryong from the Cheongchon Scholarship Foundation, Ryu Sigyun, Head of Management Support at DN Automotive, Vice President Kang Daeseong, and other members of the university headquarters.


Chairman Kim has donated a total of approximately 12 billion KRW to Dong-A University, including scholarships and development funds. He is the son of the late Kim Mansoo (a 1956 graduate of the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Dong-A University), former Chairman of Dong-A Tire, who passed away in October last year. Continuing his father's legacy, Kim Sangheon now serves as Chairman of the Cheongchon Scholarship Foundation, which is the largest foundation both within and outside the university.


DN Group, which is centered around DN Automotive, a manufacturer of automotive anti-vibration parts, and DN Solutions, a machine tool manufacturing company, boasts the largest market share in Korea and ranks third in the world in the fields of machine tools and automotive anti-vibration parts.


At the ceremony, Chairman Kim stated, "I decided to make this donation out of my desire to support Dong-A University, my alma mater and a prestigious local private university that my late father was deeply fond of. As a company that started in the region, we will continue to do our best to contribute to the development of local universities."



President Lee responded, "The scholarships and research funds provided by the Cheongchon Scholarship Foundation, established by the late Chairman Kim Mansoo, have greatly contributed to improving various indicators of our university. The 600 million KRW donated by Chairman Kim Sangheon will also be used meaningfully for the development of our school."
