Song Jaesung, Branch Manager of Shinhan Bank's Legal Town Branch, congratulated his child who entered Seoul National University last year and donated 100 million KRW to the SNU Commons Fund and the Business Research Institute Fund at his alma mater for university research development. Additionally, he pledged 110 million KRW to the College of Business Administration's 'Lee Seonggu Lady Scholarship Fund' and the Startup Support Fund, contributing a total of 210 million KRW.

Branch Manager Song named the fund 'Lee Seonggu Lady Scholarship Fund' last year in honor of his mother's spirit of sharing and has been continuously supporting the importance of donation, Seoul National University's research development, and the academic growth of juniors.

Accordingly, on February 19 of this year, Seoul National University held a plaque of appreciation ceremony at the Gwanak Campus attended by President Yoo Hongrim, Branch Manager Song Jaesung, Lady Lee Seonggu, Vice Chairman Kim Kihyun of the Development Foundation, Dean Chae Jun of the College of Business Administration, Executive Director Lee Junhwan of the Development Foundation, and Director Kim Woojin of the Financial Strategy Office.

President Yoo Hongrim expressed, “The branch manager’s deep affection and contribution to his alma mater through consistent annual donations for the school's development is a great pride for Seoul National University,” and added, “Above all, I hope Lady Lee Seonggu’s dedication, love, and excellent educational philosophy will be passed on to the university’s talents,” expressing gratitude to Lady Lee Seonggu as well.

Branch Manager Song Jaesung said, “After making a donation by chance last year, I became happier and good things continued to happen, which encouraged me to keep donating,” and added, “I hope this fund will be a small help for Seoul National University’s new leap as it celebrates its 50th anniversary of integration, and that juniors will pioneer the future and become leaders who create a better world by carrying on my mother’s spirit of sharing.”

Seoul National University plans to use the 'Lee Seonggu Lady Scholarship Fund' to support students with high academic achievement so they can focus solely on their studies, and the Startup Support Fund will be used to foster startups, according to the donor’s request.

Meanwhile, Branch Manager Song graduated from Seoul National University’s Department of Business Administration and joined Shinhan Bank. He has served as Deputy Branch Manager at the Seoul City Hall Center, Branch Manager of the Seoul National University Branch, and has been working as the Legal Town Branch Manager since January this year.
