The Happiness Ttukttak Medical Volunteer Service is a social contribution initiative launched by KB Securities in 2023 to help bridge the medical gap between urban and rural areas. To provide professional and safe medical services, KB Securities collaborates with the Open Medical Society, a private medical volunteer organization. Last year, the company conducted medical volunteer activities for approximately 500 elderly people in a total of four regions: Miryang in Gyeongnam, Gapyeong in Gyeonggi, Gumi in Gyeongbuk, and Gokseong in Jeonnam.

This year, the scope of the volunteer program has expanded to include not only elderly residents in rural areas but also foreign workers, with a total of five medical volunteer events scheduled through June. Two events are being held for foreign workers in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do and Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, while three events are being conducted sequentially for elderly residents in rural areas of Chungbuk, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam.

At the Okcheon County event, which was the third medical volunteer service this year, more than 160 elderly residents living nearby received a variety of medical services, including internal medicine, dentistry, and orthopedics. Simple medicines such as nutritional supplements and pain relief patches, as well as commemorative gifts, were also distributed.

Kim Sunghyun and Lee Honggu, CEOs of KB Securities, stated, "KB Securities is carrying out social contribution activities that all members can participate in and empathize with, based on the values of care and mutual growth." They added, "We plan to continue fulfilling our responsibilities as a company that grows together with the community by providing practical support to marginalized neighbors in our society through sincere ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management."

KB Securities is engaged in a variety of social contribution activities with care and mutual growth as its core values. The company has been running the "Rainbow Classroom" project for 17 years to improve educational and play environments for children both in Korea and abroad. KB Securities also participates in the corporate garden at the Seoul International Garden Expo, providing urban citizens with a place to relax and promoting eco-friendly projects to revitalize the urban environment.
