KT announced that it signed a "Business Agreement for Supporting Hearing-Impaired Children in the Honam Region" on the 17th together with Chonnam National University Hospital and the Community Chest of Korea, and will open the "KT Kkumpoom Classroom," a rehabilitation treatment space for hearing-impaired children, at Chonnam National University Hospital.

The signing ceremony was attended by Ji Jeong-yong, Head of KT Jeonnam·Jeonbuk Regional Headquarters, Oh Tae-seong, Director of ESG Management Promotion Office, the Director of Psychiatry at Chonnam National University Hospital, Kim Young-ok, Director of the Children's Hospital, and Hwang In-sik, Secretary General of the Community Chest of Korea.

KT decided to expand the KT Kkumpoom Classroom in the Honam region to reduce the medical gap between the metropolitan area and local regions and to improve medical accessibility. In the second half of this year, KT plans to open a Kkumpoom Classroom in the Yeongnam region as well, continuing its efforts to resolve the polarization of medical services.

The Chonnam National University Hospital KT Kkumpoom Classroom is the fourth rehabilitation treatment space for hearing-impaired children operated by KT, following the 2012 Sinchon "Severance Hospital," the 2019 Cambodian National Hospitals "Preah Ang Duong Hospital," and "Jeju National University Hospital."

In particular, this facility plans to offer small-group language and music rehabilitation treatments as well as a "K-pop Dance Class" to enhance social skills. Additionally, KT will operate various programs, including hosting healing camps for the families of pediatric patients.
