The recipients of the awards are Kang Kyung-min (34), who is in charge of Nohyeong-dong, Jeju, and Choi Ki-won (44), who is responsible for Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. Both individuals discovered a suspected drunk driving vehicle and a fire scene respectively, and demonstrated calm judgment and courage to prevent further damage.

Mr. Kang spotted a suspected drunk driving vehicle near Nohyeong Rotary in Jeju City around 8:30 p.m. on the 15th of last month while heading home. Noticing a vehicle dangerously cutting in with a broken side mirror, he immediately pursued it and reported to the police. The fleeing vehicle was caught by the police at a nearby hotel. Kang said, "As a driver, I had a gut feeling that it was dangerous, and since it was a Saturday evening downtown, I was worried it could lead to a bigger accident, so I had no time to hesitate."

In Hongje-dong, Seoul, on the 27th of last month, Mr. Choi protected citizens' lives by detecting a burning styrofoam smell during delivery. He discovered smoke and flames coming from the gap in the boiler room door of a multi-family house and immediately entered the building, visiting each home to urgently evacuate four residents. He also helped with initial fire suppression using a fire extinguisher on site. The fire, which could have resulted in casualties, was quickly extinguished, minimizing damage.

CJ Logistics stated that delivery drivers have established themselves not just as simple logistics carriers but as the closest safety guardians in daily life. They also viewed this as an opportunity to spread positive perceptions of delivery drivers who are most closely connected to customers.

A CJ Logistics official said, "The two delivery drivers fulfilled their roles as lifestyle logistics partners who deliver not only the responsibility of customers' daily lives but also community safety," adding, "We will continue to realize people-centered logistics services based on customer trust."

Meanwhile, CJ Logistics operates a safety education program for delivery drivers to flexibly respond to various situations occurring at customer contact points.
