Child welfare organization Green Umbrella (Chairman Hwang Young-gi) announced on the 7th that it will conduct the ‘2025 Shinhan Life Talent Class’ for nurturing talented children and adolescents in collaboration with the Shinhan Life Shining Foundation. Based on a donation of 400 million KRW from the Shinhan Life Shining Foundation, Green Umbrella plans to support talent development for 536 gifted children in 22 sports disciplines and 19 cultural and artistic fields.

The ‘Shinhan Life Talent Class’ is a talent development social contribution partnership project in which Green Umbrella and the Shinhan Life Shining Foundation have annually selected talented children in sports and arts since 2018, providing them opportunities to nurture their dreams.

This year, 34 institutions nationwide have been selected to support talented individuals in sports and cultural arts to enhance their skills and experience under the guidance of professional instructors. Specifically, talented children will be offered various opportunities to blossom their talents by watching or directly participating in games or performances. Additionally, through meetings and discussions, the children’s difficulties will be heard, and outstanding talents will be continuously supported through scholarship programs and other means.

Kim Min-ji, Secretary General of the Shinhan Life Shining Foundation, said, “We hope this program will provide children who lack opportunities to experience arts and sports with a chance to discover their potential and fully express their talents,” adding, “We will continue various social contribution activities to support children so they do not give up on their dreams and grow up healthily.”

Shin Jung-won, Head of Social Contribution Cooperation at Green Umbrella, said, “The Shinhan Life Talent Class is a model case of social contribution cooperation that supports children’s challenges toward their dreams,” and added, “We will continue to provide diverse support by children’s side so that reality does not become an answer to their questions about their dreams.”
