The 815 Run, organized by Habitat for Humanity Korea, is held annually to improve the living conditions of descendants of independence activists. This year, under the slogan "It Will Be Alright, Republic of Korea," a total of 16,300 people participated, including singer Sean.

Bark joined this event with the hope of raising social awareness about housing welfare for vulnerable groups, including descendants of independence patriots. Founded by rehabilitation medicine doctors, Bark produces shoes that implement the optimal arch shape beneficial for foot health based on experiences gained from treating patients. For this event, the popular model 'Slide 2' was given to runners after the event. Donations were also made through Habitat for Humanity Korea.

Heejoon Byun, CEO of Bark, said, "Many people practice a healthy form of donation culture through the 815 Run, and Bark is pleased to participate in such a meaningful event."
