This project began last month and will be conducted a total of 25 times until October this year. The target group consists of about 200 families (800 people) of public transportation workers in the Seoul area who have signed an agreement with T-money.

The project aims to alleviate job-related stress and promote mental health for transportation workers who work long hours in confined spaces. Participants will experience the Bangbanggokgok Hiking program, walking forest trails with their families during a 2-day, 1-night stay at the National Chuncheon Forest Center. Additionally, they will spend time building emotional bonds and relieving job stress with their families in the forest through local cultural tourism and other activities.

Nam Taeheon, President of the Korea Forest Welfare Institute, said, “We express our gratitude for the hard work of transportation workers who serve as the nation's feet,” and added, “The Forest Welfare Institute will continue to strive to enable more citizens to enjoy the happiness that forests provide.”
