The signing ceremony took place at the Cheonnyeon Hanji Center in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, with Hansol Paper CEO Han Kyung-rok and Jeonju Mayor Woo Beom-gi in attendance. Through this agreement, Hansol Paper and Jeonju City plan to promote various support projects for the stable preservation of traditional Korean paper (Hanji) and the development of the Hanji industry.

Both parties will plant 3,550 mulberry trees in the Cheonnyeon Hanji Center and Wanggung-myeon, Iksan City, and work to establish a stable raw material supply chain for Hanji production. Furthermore, they intend to operate sponsorship and training programs for successors who wish to learn Hanji manufacturing techniques, encouraging participation from younger generations and laying the foundation for the long-term preservation of Hanji culture.

A Hansol Paper official stated, "Planting mulberry trees and supporting Hanji successors are important projects for the future of the Hanji industry," adding, "We will continue to cooperate with Jeonju City to revitalize the Hanji industry."
