The donated funds will be used to support the educational and basic living expenses of 87 children from single-parent families, providing 2.4 million KRW annually (200,000 KRW per month) until they graduate from high school.

The sponsorship program for connected children began in 2012 as a voluntary initiative by KRX employees who raised funds to help children grow up healthily. It also offers emotional support activities such as cultural experiences and employee meet-up days.

Chairman Jeong Eun-bo stated, "Through this program, I hope children can focus on their studies, interact with friends, and greatly improve their self-esteem. We will continue to provide various supports so that children can pursue their dreams without hesitation."
