This campaign, organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Human Resources Development Institute for Health and Welfare, has been ongoing since October last year to raise awareness of issues caused by changes in population structure such as low birth rates and aging, and to improve social perception.

Director Lee joined the campaign upon the nomination of Hwang Young-gi, Chairman of Green Umbrella. Director Lee stated, "Population issues, including low birth rates, are very challenging problems our society faces and are complex social phenomena that cannot be resolved by relying solely on the government." She added, "Hanmiyeon aims to be a research institute that proposes practical measures enabling the private sector, especially companies that can provide tangible help in changing people's lives, to take the lead in solving these problems."

Director Lee nominated Gyeongbuk Province Governor Lee Cheol-woo and Kim On-gi, Chairman of the nonprofit organization Puruni, as the next participants in the relay campaign.

Hanmiyeon is a private research institute established based on the recognition that companies must actively play a leading role as agents in resolving the population crisis, moving away from the traditional approach that relied solely on the government and public sector. Through surveys on social perception changes regarding childbirth, publication of population reports, and various seminars and forums, it focuses on publicizing the causes and solutions to the low birth rate problem.
