This donation comes from a portion of the reward money Sergeant Jo received after being awarded the 'LG Hero Award' in January this year. He chose Changwon Hanmaeum Hospital as a meaningful place to donate.

Sergeant Jo has consistently practiced good deeds; since commissioning as a naval non-commissioned officer in 1998, he has donated blood over 200 times in 28 years.

In 2023, he donated 100 blood donation certificates to Changwon Hanmaeum Hospital, practicing the sharing of life, and in 2013, he won the grand prize at the hospital’s 2nd Childbirth Essay Contest with a dramatic childbirth story, showing a long-standing relationship with Hanmaeum Hospital.

Additionally, Sergeant Jo has actively participated in various volunteer activities, contributing over 1,000 hours as a volunteer in Changwon City.

Sergeant Jo said, "Hanmaeum Hospital is a hospital that works together with the local community, providing practical support to those in need. I hope this donation can offer some strength to the patients."

In response, Choi Kyung-hwa, Director of Changwon Hanmaeum Hospital, stated, "Sergeant Jo Young-seop’s good deeds go beyond simple donations; they have significance in spreading the value of sharing. Our hospital also sympathizes with this noble intention and will create a warmer medical environment and continue to grow together with the local community."
